And here I still am after my 3:15 am post this morning on yesterday's thread. And surprise surprise--there's no new news to report since then.
Nothing bad woke me or kept me up--it was just one of those nights. I'm proud to say I have now slogged through every puzzle the New York Times can conjure.
Is it the ****tail hour yet?

$300?! Good Lord! Good luck finding someone more reasonable. Your hair does look wonderful (I like it long the way you're wearing it lately).
However, we both deserve a hairdresser who doesn't charge almost as much as my monthly salary back in the day when I taught junior high science and math. (Yes, for one year after undergrad I was a public school teacher for $400/month. I loved the kids, hated the administration.

119 - 5 days in a row. The longest streak of being at exactly the same weight since I started recording it daily in late July.
Beautiful day here yesterday and most days are expected to be similar over the next couple of weeks. My kids who are having snow and ice this weekend don't want to hear about it. Right now it is very foggy but should clear in a couple of hours.
Today we are walking early, water aerobics at 9, then maybe the local pool for a bit? DH and I are playing golf mid-afternoon.
Have a superlative Saturday!

3:15! 
As I recall last time I had my hair done here (highlight, cut, dry) it was close to $300. Way too much. The hairdresser I am seeing in March is in the next town and moved here from the other coast last year. She was the longtime hairdresser for a friend of mine on the other coast so the friend had her hair done here when she visited last spring. Her hair looked fantastic and I think it was somewhat less expensive. We shall see...

The one good thing about a superbowl party with friends here is that it is in our community so no driving more than 5 minutes and we don't have to be on the main road.

That dinner sounds wonderful - comfort food!

I'm sure that you will be very happy after the surgery. All my friends who had had it done have been. And yeah, doing much of anything with dilated eyes is pretty darn difficult. I hate when they do that.

Sorry Ron's back is hurting. Not much one can do comfortably when your back is in pain.

Same question as Paula. Sounds yummy.
I put pictures on the floor underneath where I think I want them for a few days to see if I like them in that location. Not exactly like viewing the, on the wall but I find it somewhat helpful.

VERY late post at 3:15 am on Saturday morning, so I'm putting this here. Yesterday was nutty busy, but I got a lot done. One highlight was an online consultation with an IKEA designer who was very nice and knowledgeable.
Also was dealing with changing my Medicare supplement insurance--a change made necessary by my move from MO to KY. But I've got a great insurance agent in MO who jumped through necessary hoops to be able to sell me insurance here in KY. He's one of those service people you guys were talking about above--really great service, attentive, works hard to make me happy.
Also got car insurance transferred to KY (package deal with DH's car insurance policy and our joint home insurance). Don't need to go into details--you all know the drills I'm going through, because you've been through them yourselves.
And YES to the hairdresser expenses and travails. I had my every-five-weeks hair color and highlight visit this past week, but no cut this time, still it's always so much money ($200 including tip). I know some folks pay more than that, but it gives me pause. My guy is really good with my hair, but maybe I'll get serious about trying to find someone cheaper but still good.
And I think I've finally found the right gym for me that's 1.2 miles from our new home. I loved my gym I joined last year, but it's a 15-20 minute drive away, and the last thing I want to do is make "the first rep" (actually walking in the door of the gym) too onerous to take. Pretty sure I'm going to go sign a one-year contract this morning.
At 3:20 am, that's all I got. I wonder if I can get back to sleep. If not, the New York Times Spelling Bee is now online, and that'll suffice. (Bad dog! Bad dog!)
