Some Weekend Highlights
and lowlights.
Starting with highs.
I love my hair. It might just possibly be the prettiest color I have ever had, thanks to Nicole. And might I also add, it was probably the most fun I have ever had having my hair done. I spent some of Friday and Saturday hanging out, drinking lots of Diet Coke, eating candy corn, watching Star Wars, quoting Arrested Development, and of course laughing hysterically. Kelly & Grant were excellent hosts.
This picture really doesn't do my hair justice, as always camera and lighting problems. Nicole got my desired color exactly right. Something none of my past hair dressers were able to do, even with pictures. Sadly she lives in Idaho.
Typical of my mom, she baked lots of treats. And typical of me, I ate way too many of them, but enjoyed every minute of it. Until this morning.
I relished in hanging out in my pj's all day Sunday, watching conference, and working on Luke's Halloween costume.
Other highs included: Finding $1 a yard fabric to be used for a very cute vintage knit pattern Kelly gave me, making black bean burgers, hanging out with 1st and 2nd cousins, fountain Diet Cokes, hanging out in Rose Park with Maryanne and Brian (they have a darling house), and having family around to watch Luke.
and lows.
Luke = sick. Especially if you count the puking all over my dad, twice, and the many many not so enjoyable diapers I changed.
And my third trip to the ER in the past 4 months. Luckily this trip was covered. I don't think I've mentioned yet that I have a hernia. Hernia's are typically not so problematic, but not so surprising, mine has been quite the opposite. I was in severe pain for most of Saturday night, I had to cut our enjoyable night with friends short, and drag my sister to the E.R. for 5+ hours, only to have the doctor just push my hernia back into place. That part was really painful. Almost as painful as watching and listening to the patients that particular hospital brought in. It was quite a night.
Other lows included: Luke jumping in the shower with me fully clothed, Luke slicing my fingers with my fabric scissors, and Luke tackling his 2nd cousin at least three times.

WOW...lots happened this weekend! It was fun getting to know you better at Kelly's.
It's true people...Her hair is AMAZING! I've seen it in real life!
Alysha you look great! Where does this hairdresser live? Idaho? I am equally picky about my hair and rarely come out happy, even with pictures too. I am sorry to hear about all the vomiting, we have been there. I think Arrested Dev. can get you through anything--we are starting it again for the 3rd time!!
Alysha your hair looks GORGEOUS. I don't know how you do it. It was looks so amazing.
That's too bad about Luke being sick and your hernia still giving you pain. And your fingers... reading that gave me the shivers. I hate cuts.
I hope you are all better now!
Your hair cut/color is super fantastic on you. Definitely a high. Yeah that hospital was all around low. The creepy woman who seemed to follow you around wanting a cigarette. The flirty male nurse who came in at the exact moment you decided to get dressed. And then me not being able to stop laughing. (That was actually kind of funny- hence me not being able to stop laughing at all). Poor Lukey being sick. That has got to not be fun.
Alysha,
I read about and heard through the Tara/Bryan grapevine that your Saturday night did not go so well. I am so sorry. I should have offered you a heating pad, cold compress, something. I could have even pushed the hernia back in! We had a lot of fun chatting with the Smith sisters. I've been keeping my eyes peeled for any homes in the area.
Your hair looks fabulous. I can't wait to see it in real life. What a crazy week. I am sorry you and Luke had a rough week. I hope you are both feeling better.
ALYSHA, Small World! Nicole babysat my kids for two days and we love her! AND I need a new hairdo! Have you always been a runner (old post!)
Yeah, Nicole and I used to work together at the BR about 6 years ago.
& yes, I have always enjoyed running. I have never been hard core though. I did run through many streets of Rexburg Idaho. I even want to say I might have done it while I stayed at your house for a couple days years back.
I run too. I don't want to look like a mother of four and I think other people would consider me hard core. It's been so long. I almost don't even remember myself back then but you look great!
I love your hair- I need to see if I could do the same thing with my hair. I also want those cookies right now- I can totally relate about child being sick and er visits over vacations it sure does put a wrench in your plans! Hope you have recovered well!
