The spider beside her

Hey hey!

My blogging has been seriously slacking lately.  I blame lack of interesting things to share topped with being really busy at work and also in a bit of a funk.

Anyway, I’m looking forward to getting back into the workweek.  Weird, right?  Zach and I have midweek plans with some friends to see The Gypsy Kings at Mountain Winery.  It’s our first concert here and the venue is absolutely gorgeous.  I did do a day-of wedding coordination there and am happy to be more of a guest this time around

So the weekend…

Well I went back to blonde:

It’s been forever and a day since I’ve got my hair done.  When I go dark, I just do it myself, but it started to look really brassy and knew it was time to get in for some professional polish.  I went somewhere new since I’ve yet to find a great stylist in the Bay Area (that doesn’t charge $400 for highlights/cut).  Anyway, she was very nice and did what I explained but it still ended up much lighter than I expected or wanted.  Sigh.  Maybe after a few washes, the blonde will fade a bit.  Orrrr, I can always make it darker again, right?

That takes care of Saturday day (after Spin of course), which was followed by copious amounts of vino and a veggie tagine at a friend’s dinner party.  Good company and good food is always a win.

What’s not a win?  The unpleasant occurrence that happened when I got home.

We returned at 11p-ish and I got ready for bed and had planned on reading a chapter in my book in bed.  I got all settled and felt my hair tickle the back of my neck.  Then I felt something on my back.  Then on my neck.  After about a minute, I finally sat up and pulled my shirt out and there was a freakin’ spider in.my.shirt.  No lie.  I screamed.  Zach came running upstairs thinking I was murdered.  Close enough if you ask me.  I  threw my shirt off and started clawing at my skin furiously.  Luckily we found the spider and it met a very certain death.  Gaaaaah!  That was honestly one of my worst nightmares come true.  Ick!

I seriously feel like things are crawling all over me all the time now.  {Shudders}

So yeah, those were the high and low points of my weekend.

What were your high and low points?

Any frightening spider stories you care to share?

Stuff, that’s all

This was a wonky weekend.  I can’t explain it any other way.

Undoubtedly, the best part was seeing my bestie after a 3 month hiatus.  Luckily, I get to see her in 3 weeks in Tahoe!!!

Some of the not so great things this weekend:

1. No plans on Friday night made for nothing to look forward to and one fussy girl (<—me)
2. Finding a absolutely fabulous new place to move to that was right in the heart of downtown Mountain View, only to get bypassed by people who did *not* have pets.
3. Getting a ding on my windshield from crazy flying rocks while driving to see my bestie.

It’s a pretty short list actually, but beyond that, I’m going through some “stuff” that I’m not quite ready to put on the blog yet.  And what it boils down to is that I really could use some extra support and love and help during this time…but I’m just not getting it.

But since I’m still pushing ahead on OGM (Operation Good Mood), I am going out to dinner with my friend Kristy on a work night tonight   And Wednesday night, the hubby and I are turning our date night into ice-cream night.  So you see, I’m tryin’!

How do you get support when it appears you may not need it (but really want it)?

Tell me the best thing about your weekend?
