1. Beautiful Running Weather
The weather Saturday morning was gorgeous! I ran 2.21 miles with a pace of 14:42 pace. |
I have really enjoyed running with some coworkers in Maumelle's Women Can Run clinic. We're in the Beginner Runner B group. This week we were running 2 minutes, walking 3.
2. Hair Gets a Makeover
Saturday afternoon I finally had a much-needed hair appointment. I last had my hair trimmed in November, and we haven't touched up the color since June. My ends were flipping out everywhere and the color was very brassy-looking. Does anyone else have problems with their color fading?
Jean, my hair stylist for the past 3 years, will be celebrating 50 years of cutting hair this March! Jean is amazing, and I think she does such a great job with my hair. I trust her completely! She trimmed 1" off the ends and foiled a reddish brown in my hair. It's very similar to my natural color, just with more red. Even though she foiled it in, she said I could easily do this color all over, which I just might do in the future.....
Crazy as it may seem, I continue to use the same stylist even after I moved to Maumelle. It's an hour drive, so I usually just make a whole day of it and catch up with some friends and places that I miss in Russellville. After our hair appointments, Adam and I met up with my brother Andrew and sis-in-law Norma. Norma took a few pictures of Adam and me for our 2-year anniversary. Although the trees were still brown and bare, I think we got some good shots. I'll be sharing some of those in a future post : )
After pictures, Adam and I returned to a favorite Russellville restaurant: Stoby's. We had many of our first dates here! They still have the best cheese-dip and possum pie around!

I'm loving my new eye makeup! The first day I wore this mascara, my principal seriously did ask me if my eyelashes were real! This stuff is the bees knees!
4. My Go-to Necklace
This has been my favorite piece of jewelry for years. I get so many compliments on this necklace (probably not because it's pretty, but because it's definitely unique.) I've been stopped in airports by complete strangers wanting to know where I got it/how I made it....they even ask to take a picture of it, so they can try to make their own!
About 4 years ago, a friend was helping me sew some aprons for Christmas gifts. I hadn't bought buttons yet, so she offered this necklace up--she kept it in her sewing box for spare buttons! I exclaimed it was too cute to cut buttons off, so she gave it to me. Someone had crocheted this for her 20+ years ago, and she just didn't think it looked good with any of her outfits. I wear it with just about anything : )

After our Stoby's date in Russellville, Adam and I went to Hastings to look at movies, books, etc. It just so happened they were having a buy 2 get 1 sale on all used blu-rays and dvds. I scored these three movies for just $13! I was pretty proud of that : )
