Last week, I styled my hair.
For those of you who pay attention to your looks everyday, this probably doesn’t seem very exciting.
But for me, it was almost the highlight of the week.
Especially the second day.
I am in love with the second day of a hairdo, when your hair still looks all fancy and styled but you don’t have to do anything.
It’s a lazy dream come true.
My mom got to go to Michigan to visit the kids.
Which is less my happiness and more my envy.
But I’m happy for her.
(So, half happy points?)
I’ve stuck with my Agatha Christie’s Poirot reading list.
Though I’ve currently misplaced #3, Poirot Investigates.
(So… half points?)
(Which, if you’re keeping track, is now a full point.)
(Woot.)
I’ve discovered a new favorite Indian restaurant.
Skye got the buffet and then the owner came over and insisted she share all of her food with us.
(I’m a sucker for places that encourage across-the-table food theft.)
I’ve been losing my mind painting.
Which, realistically, might not be the happiest of situations.
However, I haven’t been painting alone – Skye and Lindsey showed up on Sunday, ratty t-shirts in hand, to help.
And I hadn’t even asked them to come over.
I might be a little late on this one, but have any of you tried Perkins’ pancakes?
‘Cause, yum.
Luminaries.
That is all I have to say about that.
(Though have no fear, I’m going to have much more to say about it in a whole Luminary-focused post, once I remember to upload those photos and stop being lazy.)
What’s making you happy today?
I do so hope at least one of you answers with sea turtles,
Megan

p.s. Guys? I totally forgot to include the cauliflower in this post. I am the laziest, and the worst, of bloggers. Please enjoy:

Whatcha painting?
Painting makes me very, very sad . . . it’s horrible.
That Indian buffet looks amazing.
Hooray for full points.
Painting is full of the sad. And the disappointing. And the exhaustion. But I love painted rooms. And so I persevere.
I have two comments.
1. I’m a little disappointed by the lack of cauliflower in this post. I mean, you get me all hyped up for little white sprouty vegetables that look like broccoli but taste much much better and then, nothing.
2. I’m wondering if the awesome green-clad tits came with the Indian buffet, or if you had to bring them separately?
1. HOW DID I FORGET THE CAULIFLOWER? That’s just embarrassing.
2. Sadly, Skye was already mine, so you’ll have to provide your own.
1. Thanks for the edit. I feel better already. Mmmm… cauliflower…
2. Oh, and I’m totally cool with a BYOTitties restaurant. I frequent them, in fact.
Can your hair please give a pep talk to my hair? I’ve never in my life had a day 2 hairdo.
It’s done with the secret of not brushing your hair at all. Or washing it. Really, just be lazier than you could conceive of, and it’ll work out.
I’m so envious because that definitely does not work for my hair.
Hum. Sea turtles weren’t really on the top of my list. CHRISTMAS IS! The festivity of the holiday season. Also I’m done all my shopping – have been for weeks – and so I don’t have to face the soul-destroying machine that is the mall and the mall parking lot.
Wow! So you actually painted and also had such a delicious-looking Indian delicacy all alone? I thought you shld have shown a full picture of your hair. Thanks for not disappointing people like meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
I discovered some new fascinating things to read on the Internet rather than doing work. So, that part of my day has made me happy.
This post reminded me that I really need to get some Indian food soon. It’s been awhile and I want some.
Now is always the right time for Indian food!
You are SO right.
Wait? You painted and we don’t get to see the finished product? No fair!
Oh, Mindee. If there was a finished product? I would show it to you.
I painted my house 3 years ago. It still makes me happy to look at my lovely cream walls, such an improvement on the pink. But it makes me sad that there are still two pink rooms, the lesson is don’t stop, you can’t assume you will get to it, because the reality is you won’t and you will be left with two random pink rooms.
Good luck.
That’s my philosophy! I’m trying really, really hard to paint absolutely everything now, ’cause I know I’m far too lazy to ever come back to it!
now I want Indian food AND cauliflower. no pics of the awesome do?
I forgot to photograph it! Just one of those everyday tragedies! And you should have both, they’re quite delicious.
I was starting to get a little worried about the cauliflower. Thank goodness it appeared in the end.
I never style my hair – well, once a year maybe – so definitely appreciate your joy on that. And I’ll let you in on a secret (that now isn’t one): sometimes I even stretch mine out to 3 days. I know. Crazy!
Cauliflower always comes through for you at the end.
And I definitely stretch mine out as long as humanly possible. It’s one of my many lazy gifts!
Painting sucks. But the good news is: I did such a terrible job of it in my bedroom that now my husband insists on doing all painting projects… SO I NEVER HAVE TO PAINT AGAIN!
Pancakes = amazing. Perkins = the devil (I waitressed there for an entire month. NEVER AGAIN).
Cauliflower = amazing. Have you tried mashing it like mashed potatoes? Same flavor, different consistency.
Indian food = amazing. Now I need some, but it’s too late in the evening for our local restaurant to be open. I guess I’ll just eat this Twinkie instead…
Ugh, I need a husband. Or just a random person who’ll stop by and do all my painting. And I’ve heard delicious things about mashed cauliflower but haven’t tried it, will have to put it on my to-do list!
You said it so well elsewhere too…”happy is awesome.”
I like this post a lot. A peek into your life, and it’s a great life. Even with the painting. Kind of like labor, you know? You have to go through this really hard part, but it’s sooo worth it!
Did I really just compare painting to labor? Yes. Yes, I did.
Here is your sea turtles answer! Over the past four days my two year old and I have been sick, which directly resulted in Finding Nemo being played on repeat all day long. I now know everything they will say. And my favourite part are the sea turtles. They are just so cuuute!
I wish you would have shown us a picture of your second day hairdo!
I adore Crush! And his son, whose name I sadly do not remember. Now I have an overwhelming urge to watch that movie – I must figure out a way to have it playing while I paint!
His sons name is squirt! At least I think so. I tend to get names wrong. So its either squirt or squirl
They are my favourite caracters!
Now i went and ruined it by reading the next post first.
I came for the cauliflower.
I was impressed.
Would it be embarrassing to admit I constructed a pair of makeshift numb-chucks from hair rollers when I was a kid?
Okay. Then I won’t admit that.
I’ll just shut-up and eat my cauliflower now.
