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?
