Adventures with hair!

So this last weekend was semi-productive. I say semi because although we did clean our kitchen to where it looks A LOT better, we still have a lot of cleaning to do. I didn't do laundry and we didn't go grocery shopping until Tuesday when we realized the only meal we had left was egg burritos. We did do taxes finally Sunday night and we're getting screwed. I have to pay income tax on income I earned in Texas!!! We read the booklet over and over to find a way out with no success. I know we're paying a relative small amount of taxes compared to some people, but it still bites none the less.

Friday night we went to a wonderful restuarant called St. Clair with my co-workers for our belated Christmas party. The restuarant is actually a branch of the St. Clair Winery in New Mexico so as you can imagine they have a lot of good wines. Paul and I had a lovely Merlot that wasn't too tangy for my taste. It's All around it was good food and good company. Defintely some place we want to visit again.
Saturday night July and Jeff came over to eat with us. July made the wonderful Samon below and the brown rice mixed with garlic, onion, celery, and carrot. My veggies, well, were frozen! :-P

Then July and I proceeded to watch Twilight and New Moon together. July came up with the great idea to do rag curlers. We tore up two old t-shirts I was planning on donating to Goodwill anyways and began on the quest. July has so much patience because with my hair it took 2 HOURS to put in the rag curlers and all of the strips from both t-shirts. After yummy smoothies and watching New Moon I went off to bed with rag curls still in my head.

The next morning we woke up around 8:00 for mass and discovered the curls had done this:

So we decided with 45 minutes till Mass maybe if we try combing the curls out it would make them less like Shirley Temple. Yeah...that didn't work.

Finally after decide like my hair looked like a perm gone wrong we decided we weren't making it to 9:00 AM Mass. So I took a shower and sweet Pepe decided to help me use a curling iron to my hair.

The curls surprisingly stayed in my hair until Tuesday! Yay for no humidity!

So to sum it all up: 1) July is super patient for putting rag curls in my hair for 2 HOURS, 2) Paul is obsessed with his camera, and 3) We're lazy for not having done our taxes until this weekend! :-P
