Delightfully Debulked

Ahhh...I can breathe a sigh of relief. I finally was able to get my hair cut on Friday! I hadn't cut it since October in anticipation of the wedding. When I get it cut, they debulk (fancy layering) so I end up leaving with half the hair I had. I kept most of the length but its so much lighter now...

My appt wasn't until 6 so I had a few hours to kill in Harvard Square. What good fortune I had...I got an email from the good folks over at Woolcott that they were having a 20% off sale on all yarn. I went over and picked up some yarn to redo the Paton Cabled Yolk sweater with some changes I wanted to make. I got Cascade Yarns Sierra in a deep gray color. I wanted to get a pale blue gray but they didn't have enough skeins for me. They were really helpful this time..usually I avoid salespeople but I needed them to help me estimate the yardage for the sweater. Interestingly, she told me that she always calculates 20% more than you expect to use just in case. She said that I could keep the extra skeins on hold at the store and if I needed them later I could come back and get them (since the sale yarn is non returnable), but I told her that I can always find something to do with it, especially when it's washable.

Yesterday, we finished out our regstry at Pottery Barn and got our towels. Then I made massive amounts of chocolate chip cookies with our new Kitchen Aid Mixer (although the usage was limited because I made a double batch of cookies so we both could bring them to work) and it was too big for the mixing bowl.

Today, my wonderful husband has suggested we go to the Melting Pot! I mentioned around Valentine's Day that if the wedding wasn't so close I would suggest going to the Melting Pot for dessert as a belated Valentine's Day outing. Now that the wedding's done, we're going tonight. We have to head out to Macy's to return a pitcher that we got for a wedding gift. It was fine when it arrived, but M washed it and as he was merely holding the handle, the glass all around the upper part of the handle cracked into a series of really really small cracks. So we'll return it and home they have another one for us.

Ok, Time to go for a walk!
