sitting in my chair, sporting purple hair...

I gave myself a scare,
is this TOO MUCH FLAIR?!
decided I don't care,
Kids thought it'd be fun,
and now that it is done...

It's barely noticeable!

Let me tell you, when I hopped into the shower for the rinsing part, oh dear, that lavender water streaming down the drain, oh no, I was a bit hesitant. I am not a make-up wearer, or a fancy girl. I like neat, and I like clean. But I do touch up the roots, I am not ready to go gray yet. So a few weeks ago, Target had a special where if you spend a certain amount on health and beauty, you get a gift card. The girls were already getting some things, and we needed something else, and my roots were showing...so, I decided to get some touch-up. Well, do you think the stuff I normally use was there, in stock? I didn't have my glasses on, either, because they fog up so much with the mask. So I had the girls help me, and this one I chose:

...had the girls going cray-cray. They were like, "Do it, Mom!"

We don't have nearly enough fun around here, so I bought it. They've harped a teeny bit, asking when I'm going to use it.

They aren't up yet, I hope they aren't disappointed with the underwhelming results.

We are doing something fun today! It's a drive-by birthday celebration for one of my aunts, and she doesn't know we're all coming! My father was one of 12, there are only three left, two sisters and one brother. This one sister never had children, her husband passed away several years ago, and she is lonely. With this virus, she's even lonelier. So many old people who met up at coffee shops, are so lonely now.

Speaking of coffee shops, guess what?! Aaron sent me three bags of coffee beans for Mother's Day! They're from a local coffee roaster, and yummers! The Ethiopian, a medium roast, tastes like berries, it's SO GOOD. Yesterday, I knowingly and willingly exceeded my caffeine limit, and suffered some jitters, but oh dear, it's good coffee.

Yesterday we had some sunshine, so we sat out on the deck. The girls did some school work, and some reading. I talked to Samuel on the phone, and I talked to Suzanne on the phone. I also baked a triple batch of chocolate chip cookies, for Mariel's co-workers, again. Those nurses deserve cookies! I put three in each baggie, and there were 35 baggies, because I couldn't be completely mean and not leave some here for the kids.

So today we're heading out to the birthday greeting, it's about an hour away from here. We'll try Aldi for some chicken breast, just me, the kids will wait in the car. We might go to Target too...what?! It's essential! (BTW, is this sort of thing what makes "anonymous" so angry?! me thinks it might be...)
