Hopes Revisited

I didn't do badly this weekend, in the "hopes" department.  :-)

A bit of snow did melt...though we had another 10 cms or even more overnight. I didn't bother shoveling the driveway this morning, I was too disgusted, depressed, dismayed, discouraged...pick a word.

I had low-lites and a cut on Saturday and am pleased with the results. Same colour (caramel), but all the old blonde hi-lites finally are gone.

I added a very little bit of "glow" to the "selfie" in Picasa, but otherwise didn't do anything to blur it...the original already was a bit blurry, which works in my favour (re: crow's feet and middle-aged skin).

In spite of a few sneezes and snuffles, the boys seemed fine. (I have this "fear" that they're just going to pass the virus germs back and forth now, indefinitely.)

Pic snapped through the patio door glass.

The neighbours were gone until about 8:45PM last night; yay! I had a quiet, peaceful weekend and it was fabulous. It's March break here this week and I don't know if the kids came back or stayed with grandma, but I did hear both the "adults."

As for something pretty and spring-like...I didn't do so well there, unless you count a summer tee-shirt from Walmart yesterday, and a pretty scarf for any time (also Walmart). However, I did go into Pier One (kitchen and home decor store) on Saturday, and the entire store was very Spring-like, lovely items everywhere. So I guess that counts. I saw a headboard I like, a seagrass block one. Not sure it would do for my own bed and decor, but it caught my eye, "spoke to me," as their ads like to tout.

Pic snipped from their main site (http://www.pier1.com/)

It's definitely not in the budget at this time, maybe never, even if it would look good in the bedroom. I just like the natural look and feel.

So...Small hopes, but mostly met. Not a bad recap to the weekend at all.  :-)

Wishing everyone a good start to the week.

Purrs from the boys and peace from me.
