Hobbit-ish Potpurri: Week 6

Good Evening Humble Readers...

Has this ever been a long week!  Nothing terrible or anything, but really long.  I've been so exhausted that it's all I can do to get myself out the door for work each day. 

*****
Perhaps the exhaustion is connected to the crazy insomnia I've had.  I'm totally pooped at night and fall asleep by 10:30, but I wake up around 2am and am awake for anywhere from 45 minutes to a couple of hours.  Of course it could also be connected to the crazy dreams I've been having (the most memorable involved me visiting a 'friend' with a newborn in a hospital in New Jersey.  I have no idea who the friend was, and the baby had four eyes... and I don't mean glasses!).

*****
Red meat is pretty well off the menu for the next while.  And dark green veggies.  And processed cheese.  However, tomatoes totally rock!

*****
I've finally gotten my backside in gear and made a hair appointment.  It shouldn't be something to procrastinate about, right?  Nothing complicated, right?  Well, even after living in this town for almost three years, I still don't have a regular hairdresser.  I'm trying another new salon, in hopes that I might find someone that I feel comfortable with.  I wish I would have done this a month and  half ago... my roots are an absolute nightmare and will have to stay that way until the end of May.  But, I'm getting a haircut... no more bangs in my eyes or split ends.  I'm going to ask about a different shampoo/conditioner.  I've always just used drug store brands, but I'm getting more and more frustrated with the oiliness of my hair (you'd think I was back in highschool). 

*****
After several weeks of absolutely gorgeous spring-like weather, the winter has reared it's ugly head for a final (we hope) blast of snow and wind.  And when I say wind... holy crappola Humble Readers... it's been blowing from the northwest for three days now and people are starting to get a little buggy.  This usually happens once in April and then once in May.  Remind me why I live here again?

*****
My Beloved preached again tonight.  He got a lot of good comments after last time (even though it was a rushed service) and he did a great job again tonight.  There are a few things that he needs to work on, but it looks like he might have a semi regular gig doing this, at least while we are without a pastor.

*****
I hope you are all having a great weekend!  We are off to the MIL's tomorrow afternoon.

  1. I think you should talk to your doc about the insomnia. That would help the exhaustion.

    Actually I liked a hairdresser at this salon, and he has recently quit to go work in a different city. Now I am favourite-less again, and it is not a happy thing. I am growing out my hair, and we had a plan, and now he is gone!

    I hope this new salon you are trying works out fantastic.

    Hope the weather behaves soon!

  2. Ah, insomnia. That's why I'm commenting on your blog at 1:02am. It doesn't matter if I go to bed early or late (which is, like. 10pm these days), I always wake up numerous times.

    Let us know what your doc says. Mine had said I could take Benadryl, but it didn't help.

  3. Hey sweetie,
    sorry to hear about the insomnia and the cold wind. That totally sucks. If it makes you feel better, we had a crazy dust storm last year where red dirt from the desert blew in. We had to close all the doors and windows and everything tasted like dirt.
    Hope the visit to the MIL's goes well :)

  4. are you taking progesterone? It always gives me insomnia when i take it...you're next trimester will be great for sleep but then you'll stop sleeping again in the 3rd! ;) Gravol is also safe to take if you need something to take the edge off the insomnia. On the bright side, you're pg!! :D

  6. Yay for DH and his preaching---how neat!

  7. How about you send me a bit of oiliness and I'll send my bone-dry hair your way? That would solve it for both of us at once.

    Congrats to your DH for doing such a great job preaching.

    And, I hope the nausea and insomnia go away SOON!

  8. So sorry about your insomnia, hopefully it goes away real soon. Every April here in Cairo we get these nasty dust storms, it blows hot wind from the South and the air is filled with dust, fun. I hope Spring comes and stays around for awhile for you.
