today

today was the ultimate in doing productive things.  if by "productive" you mean "entirely optional but really fun."

things i did:
1. got a haircut.  good haircut...bad amount of mousse (spelling?  SEE: I DON'T USE THIS PRODUCT, HAIRDRESSER!) and hairspray, and thus i looked like a character in steel magnolias when i met willis and andy for
2. brunch at the original pancake house (blueberry pancakes and hashbrowns - delish).  then willis and i
3. went to get pedicures.  my feet were that winter-gross where there are calluses and dry skin everywhere. now my feet are BEAutiful.  and the salon owner let me and willis sit next to each other.  YES.
4. then i got a car wash, because oh, a week ago when i was driving home from rocky mount after visiting jenny, we got behind a truck that was salting the roads in preparation for the snowfall that did actually fall (it would be SO like north carolina to do that and then have no snow).  my car was covered in salty yuck until now.
5. i watched an obscene number of episodes of friday night lights.  will the panthers win state?  with tyra and landry become more than friends?  I'M ON THE EDGE OF MY SEAT.  and there is no irony here.
6. i went to a much needed yoga class, then the grocery store, and came home to
7. make a yummy dinner (asparagus and ricotta with whole wheat linguine) and make a yummy dip to take to mike and kelly's new year's party tomorrow.
8. i ate the yummy dinner and 1/4 of the yummy dip (oops).

it was, really, the most perfect day.  i need to marry rich so that every day can be like this...rich men: let it be known that i make a mean chocolate cake and a mean black-eyed pea salsa.  among other things.
