Unlucky ... or Love

Yup. It's Friday the 13th. I'm not normally superstitious but I did step on a staple this morning and it imbedded itself in my heel. Luckily my heel is much like my head; thick. The pain and blood were minimal. All and all it was just a reminder that I could use a pedicure.

Pedicures make me think of dating. Because, after all, what's the point of having nice feet if nobody gets to see them? Valentine's Day tomorrow and because it's a Saturday I imagine restaurants will be swarming with those who are in love or those who just love spending a lot of money on a nice meal.

I'm thinking heart-shaped Rice Crispy treats might be enough to keep everyone in the Roberts house happy.

How about you? Wrapping yourself in bubble wrap to protect yourself from the evils of Friday the 13th or planning a feast of treats for tomorrow?

A new week

I'm having a new week. I've bought a new (to me) vehicle; a 2008 Dodge Caravan. It's nice to have a new vehicle because my old van (2002 Windstar) known as Bessy # 2 was giving me all kinds of headaches. Bessy # 3 (new van) isn't exciting. It's a work horse. It will serve an important purpose like my fridge and stove. The salesman tried (and tried and tried) to get me excited about buying the vehicle. I explained that I drive a van because I have four kids and they always bring friends. I don't drive a van because I find it to be an exciting vehicular adventure.

Now I would've been very excited if the new vehicle was this -->

In keeping with my new week. I'm off to get my hair done this morning. Covering the gray is a definite and so is a cut. I'd like to go new in style but I'm likely to chicken out.

You see usually when I opt for new hair I have visions <-- of this

But usually I end up with
something like this -->

How about you? Anything new in your life this week?
