A Joyful Journey

My Day

B and I had the best morning. We got up early (for me, not for him) and went for a very long walk--over hill after hill. I'm already just a little sore. I enjoyed it so much, I'm hoping to do it again tomorrow. We shall see. Got my hair cut today. I'm guessing that she cut off about half of what I had. That may sound drastic, but when you have as much hair as I do--it's really not. Mandalyn asked me to post a picture of it. I'm afraid I can't right now--perhaps I would if I didn't have 14,000 zits on my face at the moment. OK--maybe it's not that many--but, honestly, didn't I leave teenagerdom and all the zits that come with it a very long time ago? Apparently not. So, sorry, Mandalyn, you will just have to wait until you see me in real life--you can admire the haircut--and the zits, not so much. Oh, and I made the jalapeno thingies that Pioneer Woman makes. They were beyond yummy. I had been given several fresh jalapenos from a friend and wondered what I was going to do with them. I knew my hubby would love them--he's a big jalapeno fan. I am so glad that Mandalyn posted about making them. We are in agreement with them--they are excellent. ( I did use the whipped cream cheese that comes in a tub though--easier.) I just had the pleasure of running into Coach J at Pizza Hut--our children were invited to the same party. I enjoyed chatting with her for a little while, and watching her eat!--she spoke of how much she enjoyed her "irl" meeting this weekend. Anyway, my hubby was there and he offered to take me shopping for a little while--so I dumped Coach J to go with him. She so graciously offered to take my oldest to basketball practice--(she is one of my daughter's coaches). She's nice like that. I was very appreciative, indeed. So, now that I have bored you with my day--I am going to go pick up my daughter from practice---and then wait for my hubby to get home from work. He's night flying tonight and won't be in until late. Just wanted the "band of thieves" to know. Ha. That was a joke. Have a great night y'all.

Yep, loved your band of thieves comment!

I really like it. I'll send you the link if you want to see it. I hate having zits and being 'our' age (well, you are older :o) ... it just isn't right.
I agree, the zits won't show in a picture. Make it black & white or sepia like I did when I cropped yours so we can see the hair!

And I think the WOW hymns cd just came out and that's why my husband's boss scored one for me at the ICRS. It's worth every dime you'll spend on it...very, very good.

See you soon!

Hope today is equally nice, or better!
