Tranquility??? 330/35

I had an appointment, for the first time today, at the Salon at Wine and Roses to get my hair done. When I got there, I was informed that Abby was running a little behind and would I mind waiting in the "Tranquility Room" I'm sure I had a dumb look on my face because the little cheerleader at the front desk went on to explain the Tranquility Room to me. I think she lost me at tranquility. This is concept I am clearly not familiar with. At all.
Tranquility
–noun
quality or state of being tranquil; calmness; peacefulness; quiet; serenity
Hahahahahaahaha!!! If she had told me they were going to inject me into a pin ball machine full of chaos, stress and noise I would have known exactly what to do. This quiet calm thing was foreign to me. But I like to think of myself as an adventurer so I followed her to a cozy room with big plush chairs and a crackling fireplace. She then pointed out the tea, water and homemade granola to snack on. (Really??? Homemade granola?? Who has this kind of time??)
Luckily for me I am an antisocial little creature so I always bring a book to my hair appointment so I can read the time away. Next thing I know I was curled up next to the fire in a divine chair with a cup of chai tea.
When Abby showed up to bring me to the salon I actually considered skipping my hair appointment and giving this "Tranquility" thing a little more of my time. Then I caught a glimpse of my mop in the window reflection and knew if I wanted to look presentable I better go.

Case of the Monday's 329/36

Today I absolutely had a case of the mondays. I had about zero motivation to do anything. I would have been perfectly happy wasting the day away doing nothing. Unfortunately, I had to work.

Sunday Sweets 328/37

Awwwww, I have some of the sweetest, cutest boys in the world...at least while they are asleep.

2 Loco and Four Loko 327/38

Heavy drinking and watching movies is kind of Mine and Cody's "thing" We are big fans of hitting up the liquor store on the corner and then smuggling some delicious little treat into the movie. There are perks to being tipsy during the movie. Scary movies will scare the crap out of you, funny movies make you laugh til you pee your pants and action movies get you pumped full of adreniline til you want to puke (well basically it enhances your bodily functions it seems). Imagine our delight when we found that the liquor store on the corner has yet to pull the Four Loko's from thier shelves. I have been hearing all kinds of delightful things about this drink. It is caffeine and 12% alcohol per serving. *giggle* Lets just say that Tangled is a funny movie. Tangled while pumped full of Four Loko is ridiculous. I lost count of the number of times I heard Cody snorting while laughing.

Kid (goat) Rock 326/39

I only wish I would have posted the video. It was that impressive.

Today, Cody, mom and I went up to Sacramento to check out where Jen and Alex have run off to. They have a cute little apartment in downtown Sac. Cody of course found the guitar within seconds of arriving and proceeded to put on a little concert. I don't understand why more people don't appreciate the fine talents of the Thompson clan.

Happy Thanksgiving!!! 325/40

Strangely enough, I did not take any pictures for the Holiday. Instead, I focused on relaxing with my hubby and doing a whole bunch of nothing. It was divine. We got up and went to Mi Ranchito and enjoyed a yummy mexican food breakfast. Then we headed back to Lodi to go see Love and Other Drugs. (Jake Gyllenhall *drool*) We ended our evening with dinner at Travis' parents house.
Later that night Cody came over and we watched movies at the house.
It was the first time we have ever stayed home and relaxed the day away on Thanksgiving. I have to say I loved it.

You know you are in dowtntown Stockton 324/41

How do you *know* you are in downtown stockton? When people actually pee in the elevator in the parking garage. I think its a bit difficult to see in the picture, but I was rushing to get in the only working elevator when I noticed that it smelled like urine. I looked around and saw a puddle in the corner and a trail running down the wall. I can not imagine how Stockton made the top of the most miserable places to live list.

No Picture 323/42

Today was a busy busy day at work. I never even had a chance to think about a picture. Have I mentioned I am really looking forward to having a 4 day weekend?

Training for Turkey 322/43

Momo is training for this thursday. He wants to make sure he can get in enough sleep to be ready to eat a big meal and go back to sleep. It's not easy to get in shape for Thanksgiving.

Curtains??? 321/44

Curtains! Yep, I am actually this boring. I am posting about curtains. I never thought I'd see the day.
So here we have it, the great exciting post about curtains! Well, I had been contemplating what to do with the wall behind our bed for quite some time now. It has a window in the center of it, the only window in our room. I believe that the room was designed to have our bed on the opposite wall, but I have never been one to do things like it was intended. So I was trying to come up with something to finish off the wall, but not cover up the window. It seemed like the curtains were a given, yet I resisted (procrastinated) for months. I kept thinking there had to be a better solution. Finally, I decided to just buy some curtains and hang them up. If I ended up hating them, I could always take them down and start over. So here we have it. I realize that without being able to see the complete picture it's a little hard to imagine, but they actually turned out pretty well. When I put all the pillows back on our bed it looks somewhat like the window and curtains frame our bed.
p.s. Yes I realize that I hung the curtains over the top of the window, I did that on purpose. If you hate it, say so.
