This is one of those times when I LITERALLY have not one thing to write about. Or maybe I do have something to write about but I’ve forgotten it. Either way, I’ve sat here next to P for the last hour and griped and moaned about how I have nothing to write about (as opposed to the riveting expose I wrote on the You Curl curling iron yesterday) and he’s looked at me, shrugged his shoulders and gone back to watching the Outdoor Channel as if that’s the most important thing.
The problem is I spent all day at home doing laundry and trying to create an air of organization before I haul out all the Christmas decorations and my living room becomes a study in chaos. Although I did try out the sock bun curl technique that was mentioned in the comments on my hair yesterday, so there’s that. I wasn’t thrilled with the results but the YouTube tutorials specifically say to leave it overnight and I only kept it up for about four hours.
However, I put Caroline’s hair up in a sock bun for the night so I’ll report on that tomorrow.
(I know you won’t be able to sleep until you know how it turns out.)
(The suspense is killing me.)
It would be such a score if it actually looks good because she is in the midst of a hair crisis and doesn’t even realize it. She’s so thrilled with her long hair, but it’s very fine and I prefer it in a ponytail or braids. She prefers to go to sleep with it wet and then wake up and wear it down to school. Which makes me cringe because it is full of crimps and random indentions and OH THE STATIC CLING. The other day it was cold outside and I asked her if I could blow her hair dry and she said, “Oh, I’ll just wear a hat until it dries.”
Because everyone knows that’s the secret to good hair.
But I really didn’t mean to talk about hair. Again.
Here are a few other interesting things that you might care about:
1. Burger King announced yesterday that they are making their french fries thicker. I don’t really know what that means and I really don’t care because I can’t remember the last time I ate at a Burger King, but I found it fascinating that someone actually did the research and determined their fries need to be thicker.
2. Beyonce announced her baby is due in December. I’m not sure why this interested me but it did and I might as well own it.
3. A sweet reader named Whitney emailed me to let me know that she’s selling Stella and Dot Jewelry and is donating all of her commissions (25% of sales) to Compassion International, specifically to their Clean Water, Unsponsored Children and Disaster Relief funds. It might be a great place to do some Christmas shopping and help Compassion at the same time. You can check out their jewelry here.
4. On that note my friend AJ’s organization, Arise Africa, has a Christmas catalog this year where you can give friends and family the gift of knowing they bought school supplies or meals or classroom textbooks for kids in Zambia. You can check it out here.
I don’t know that there’s a better gift than that.
5. Lastly, I am sad (and embarrassed to admit) that I’m almost finished with Army Wives on Netflix. Yet I feel that there are still plenty of good T.V. times to be had, especially considering that we are early on in the hunting season and I will have a lot of time to watch whatever I want on T.V.
Any suggestions for a great T.V. series? I already watch or have watched Friday Night Lights (obviously), Mad Men, Gilmore Girls, Grey’s Anatomy (though I quit watching about two seasons ago), 30 Rock, The Office and Veronica Mars.
I’m sure there are others but those are the high points. Or the low points depending on your perspective.
Y’all have a lovely Wednesday.
