What's on your agenda for today?

Georgia, glad you're better and got a good sleep.

My hair is at that annoying length as well.
 

Georgia, so pleased you are feeling better! Re your hair. You could always go wild, stick product in it, and make a statement. As I recall, you have that gorgeous wavy behaving type hair don't you?
 
I have short, coarse, salt-and-pepper hair. Very short. Wavy. Hm. I don't know whether it's really wavy or just goes in and out with the bumps in my skull. I've had short short hair since I was 14 or 15. It was handy when I was riding because I rarely had helmet hair so on or off the bike, it always looked the same. Even now, I sometimes forget to comb it because it just always looks the same. That only changes when I wait more than six weeks for a haircut.

Why do we say haircut? There must be millions of strands of hair. The Germans have it right. Hairs. As in "I need to get my hairs cut." (Ich muss meine Haare schneiden lassen.)

According to Garrison Keillor, this is probably one of those mysteries of life.

Getting better? I sound delirious.
 

When someone asked my dad if he got a hair cut he would always say "No.. I got 'em all cut"

But actually.. I think the plural of hair is..... hair. Unless you are talking about only a few of them

I am going to wash my hair today...................(meaning all of them)


I pulled out three grey hairs this morning........(meaning only a small number)


And I have no idea why I have looked this up.... I really MUST be bored.. hahahahahahaha
 
QS, in German a hair is a hair; more than one hair is hairs.

Shalimar, I worked for a German company in the US, which is where I started learning German, took some college classes and also took some classes at the Goethe Institute, then went to Germany and worked for a different company there. Left in 1984 and haven't spoken it since then. I've forgotten more than I knew, but even after all these years, every now and then something pops into my brain and out of my mouth in German. I've caught myself saying things like "I'll be right back" or "I'm hungry" or "I'm ready to go" in German, with no idea how it happens.

Whenever I get on an escalator, I'm reminded that in Germany the escalators have "Stehen" (stand) stenciled on the right side and "Gehen" (go) stenciled on the left, and people get really annoyed if you try to step up on the right or stand on the left. Germans are good minders. LOL

I'm probably one of those people who'd wake up speaking a foreign language after suffering a blow to the head:)
 
Thanks, kids. I'm feeling a whole lot better today than I have since the weekend. My daughter was going to pick up g'daughter's boyfriend so he could have dinner with us and spend the evening and asked if I wanted to ride along so I went. OMG! He lives 15 miles away...not so far actually...but we have to take major roads to get there. It took an hour and a half to get there and get back. Ugh.

That was my "outing" for the week. I'm glad I went just to get outside for a while, but it sure is a good thing for me that she has a comfy ride!

Did I tell y'all that there's a daffodil blooming in my garden? And a camellia? Spring is almost here...it might get here right after our colder temps today, below freezing temps starting tomorrow, progressively colder temps leading up to...wait for it...sNOw Monday or Tuesday:mad: You heard it here first.
 
Iris blooming before the daffodils? Hm. My iris are about 6-8" out of the ground. I gave up on tulips (they usually bloom before daffodils) because the critters kept digging up the bulbs and eating them. For whatever reason, they don't seem to care for daffodils and iris. Suits me.
 
Georgia, glad you're feeling better. In Scotland we get snowdrops, crocuses, acanite in January/Feb then daffodils. So when we get home March 2nd we'll have quite a few flowers blooming. Unless, the weather gets weird again.

Got a massage this morning and it was excellent!!!! I asked for a one hour back and shoulders but she also included scalp, neck, face, and a wee bit on my legs and arms. Pure bliss!! I am kicking myself now for now searching out a good masseuse sooner. I had one foot massage since we've been here and last winter had Thai massages which are 90% torture. So I figured it would be hard to find one to give me the kind of massage I want - not too wimpy, not too painful. All I said to the masseuse was - no elbows in the back.

Cost was 400 baht - about $12 and I gave her a 140 baht tip (all I had in my wallet).

I'm going back next Friday. Same masseuse.

Went to the gym before my massage. Staff had it nice and cold! Taking a tuk tuk to lunch shortly, then will cycle to dinner.

I'll take a few photos to the beach town we are going to for you, Georgia. :)

Going to go buy the colors so my daughter can do this to my hair. (We hope) I just got a new haircut and asked how much it would cost to color and highlight, when she told me $110. my mouth actually dropped open. That will not work for my budget....so it's going to be one of those DIY projects with my daughter's help. :)
 
Cute hairstyle, Babs, hope it turns out well for you.

We have frost this morning...nothing important going on here, watching the progress
on my granddaughter's house.

Georgia, I have never had any luck with tulips either.
 
Babs...doing your own hair is sort of like cooking: first, read the instructions; second, assemble the ingredients; third, read the instructions again; fourth, check to make sure you have all the ingredients (in the order used); fifth, read the instructions again. Last, proceed while reading the instructions!

Ameriscot, maybe I'll attempt the gym tomorrow as long as Barbie and Ken aren't there and the kids have been banished.
 
Shoveling snow today, as we're getting about 8" of heavy wet stuff. It's clinging to everything. Hard to move it around, so trying to stay ahead of it.
 
I am struggling to make a home-made valentine for my geriatric friend who seems to have a deep wish for them. I feel like I'm back in kindergarten, trying not to be too artistic, yet not having it turn out looking like a piece of used tp. I never knew I had so many felt tip pens! Then mail it and hope it arrives before the big day. I am now in the mood for chocolate marshmallow hearts.

Yes, I know how to do my own hair coloring, I have been doing that since High School. But the last few years I decided to go back to my natural color which is now mostly grey like the color of a battleship, not the silver like a precious metal. :) I was a red head from High School until I let it all go natural. And now I'm feeling sassy and like a red head again so I am going to color it again. But it's pay back time for my three daughters...I helped them raise their children now they are going to give their Moma a little pampering. I need that right now. And they don't mind because I am a good Mom and seldom ask anything of them. :love_heart: I love having daughters.

It is a cute haircut but it's not the one I got...I am just going to color it that color. Here's how I had mine cut.cc83d6e264b1d5e3555a4619987edd5f.jpg

Bob, I don't envy you your shoveling. Is wet snow the norm? Living where I do, I am fairly ignorant about snow.

Shalimar, it all depends on the temperature and today it was just below freezing so the snow was very wet and packed. Had to clear it off the trees and shrubs to keep them from being damaged from the weight of the snow. I don't mind shoveling, but not when it's like this. A good workout for sure. Still waiting for my plow contractor to clear the driveway.
