a mini post before the weekend officially begins

got the boys clothes done.
half isn't bad, right??
maybe i'll get to the girls' this weekend...in between soccer and baseball and football and a swim workout for me {MISS my long runs!!!! HOW in the world did i go 30 years without running?? i have 3 more weeks and i'm not sure i'm going to make it! i NEED that release! NOTHING else does it for me!} and date night and my birthday {!!}

PURPLE.
it's the color for the week.
why??

well, first off, i think i'm moving too fast.
i ran out to the car to grab something, opened the passenger door to reach in a get whateveritwas, and the wind knocked the door SO hard into my leg smacking it into the car and i have a HUGE purple bruise on the front of my calf. thankfully it's 45 degrees here today...so, no shorts.

next, i was in the kitchen, putting my wallet back in my purse that was on the floor where it always sits. i was apparently going mock-80 and leaned down, then stood up and SMACKED my head into the corner of the kitchen cabinet that seemed to move out 6 inches. yet, it didn't. it was where it always is. i'm just moving too fast?!? purple bruise on my forehead. i know, nice. at least it didn't break the skin.

i dyed my hair this afternoon. to cover the gray hair. i hope i inherited some of the BEST qualities from my dad...but, his early graying hair is one of the things i inherited that i'm not that excited about. i LOVE it on him. not on me. anyways...dyed my hair. i've been doing it for like 6 months? i just buy a box at walmart. i always throw the box away without thinking {i LOVE to throw things away!} and then forget what color i used and end up getting different colors each time. today's color turned my ears and shirt purple :-) but my hair looks fine.

but the FUNNEST "purple" is the scarf i got in the mail today! purple stripes! i've never been brave enough to do the scarf thing. thanks, jenny!!!!! wearing it out to dinner tonight with pat's family. i LOVE it! and am feeling brave...with my purple calf and forehead and hair! :-)

ok. you HAVE to make these. {thanks, jody!}
they turned out JUST like this.
and i had ALL the ingredients in the house. and they were quick and easy.

made them for "friend friday" and they were a hit!
you must eat them right away.
they get hard pretty fast - like within 30 minutes.
that forced me to eat 4 in a matter of minutes. yum.

have a great weekend!!

Is it really time to start changing out the clothes? Then I may realize exactly how few clothes I have for my oldest child going into a new season. So sorry about the bruises. Slow down. And have a WONDERFUL birthday! Who knew that 28 year old women had to dye their hair?
