I am outta here.....

Whew....it has been a rough day. I was going about business as usual when all of a sudden I was running for the bathroom...uh oh! My stomach hurt the rest of the day but thankfully some medicine slowed it down significantly. It worries me slightly because we have to get up at about 5am tomorrow and that always makes me nauseous, plus we have a lot of flying to do tomorrow. Luckily it is just Craig sitting next to me so I will not have to bother someone else...and hopefully I will feel better anyway :-)

Good news is that I lost (before I got sick) 1.8 pounds in the last week...yay! It hasn't been as hard as I thought...hopefully I can keep it up and hopefully vacation will not ruin it :-)

Next was the nail ordeal...oh my god! I decided to try a cosmetology school because I used to go to the Aveda salon in Atlanta and I loved it (except it got too hard to get an appointment and they don't use hair dryers for highlights so with my long ass hair it would take 4 hours...no thanks). I decided to get my eyebrows waxed cause it has been a while and I wanted to get some shape in there. Well, Belvie...bless her heart (cause that is what we say in the South when we feel sorry for someone) was this nicer older lady..not old, just older who was going to do them. She talked A LOT and she took FOREVER. The shape is good but there were a few stragglers that she didn't get. I saw them right away but wasn't going to dare ask her to get them since she spent 5 minutes deciding whether to "take the hair" on top of my brow. She asked what I thought and I said it looked the same either way. She was really nice and seemed lonely but at the same time, it shouldn't take over 30 mins for an eyebrow wax..I saw another girl get hers done at the second nail spa I was at (more coming on that) and it took about 5 minutes. Next I was on to get my nails done. I have had a really hard time finding a good place here and was hoping that this would be my answer. Yeah, not so much. Again, I realize that the nail thing is very trivial in the scheme of life so don't think that I am that shallow... So, she takes off the polish and then I tell her that I want them shorter and she sort of looks at me..then clips them with clippers...um, you can't do that with acrylic...it will crack. She cracked one and then didn't want to continue....she wanted to use the nail file....and she said it would take a really long time (normally they use this little drill thing...like a sander.....and I have never been anywhere that they didn't use it) because they couldn't use the drill. UGH. So I got up and said I couldn't spend that much time (after the 35 min eyebrow wax and the fact I had work to do) and I would go somewhere else. My nails were hideous and I was upset (trivial, I know) so I drove to the nicer part of town and couldn't find any places..i saw one day spa but you never know about those places...so I came home to look on the internet. I FINALLY found a place close and not ridiculously expensive. I think that I mentioned before that I go to a nice place in Atlanta and it is $18 to get a fill in...one of the places cost $65!!!! WTF? So, I called the place, made an appt and went. I had to wait like 20 mins for my appt but it made me feel good that it was packed with lots of normal people. When I finally got them done she did a great job..of course I ruined two or three of them already but, not her fault. So, I found a place ($24.50) but I am not sure that I am going to continue it. It just stresses me out and it is a lot more expensive here. I might just get the acrylic off and see if my nails are any healthier now. I just wish that one wasn't all rigid from my ezcema. Sigh....

Next up was going to get Craig a phone. His died....literally. It will die after 20mins of being off the charger then you put it on and in 5 mins it says it is charged and normally it will last through the night..we use it for an alarm, but this morning when Chloe came in for some loving like she has had a habit of lately about 5 mins before we get up, I noticed that the alarm wasn't going off...hmmm. yep, dead. I actually was pretty proud of him because normally he takes forever and at one point he was talking about getting a bb, which he doesn't need...AT ALL and would never use so it would be a waste of money but he was fast today.

Now I am just chilling and waiting for him to come by and help me with my suitcase (he was already coming for something else) and then to bed. Early day tomorrow.

I think that Craig is bringing his computer on the road and we have free internet for at least 4 nights so I will try to keep up the blogging :-) But, just in case, I hope everyone has a great week!! Hopefully I will have lots of great pictures when I get back!
