my two days of bliss

i haven't been online as much in the past two days and for good reason.

yesterday, i had an amazing day. i fought the urge to sleep in and got up at 7:30. after i dropped ryan off at work, i came back home and did my planning for the day. i scheduled a massage for later that evening. i met ryan for lunch. we had bento boxes at our favorite local sushi joint. after dropping him back off at work, i had an solo artist date. i did a little bookstore browsing at the local barnes and noble. after that i hit up tarjay to see what there was to see. i ended up getting a small scrapbook (that was on the dollar rack) to put some of our 2009 traveling mementos in. i then headed to tj maxx. between those three stores i could drop a ton of money, but i was strong. i only ended up buying an accordion folder to put some important papers in and two boxes of english tea.

after getting back home from my artist date, i got ready for yoga and my massage. i met my dear friend for yoga at bliss bliss bliss and afterwords we went for smoothies. after smoothies it was time to head back to bliss bliss bliss for my massage. and let me tell you, it was BLISS! after my wonderful relaxing massage i headed home to a hot bath to soak. had a lovely salad for dinner and some hot tea and then to bed. it was a fabulous day!

today was almost as good. it started very much the same. i dropped ryan off at work and then headed to a local cafe for breakfast. i enjoyed a wonderful lox bagel and some coffee. after breakfast, i went to the beauty college to get something different done to my tresses. i have been admiring people decorating their hair with pink streaks, from kimberly wilson to carolyn to yogadiva. these lovely ladies serve as daily inspiration for me. and what can i say, the pink bug bit me :-) i also decided to get bangs. i haven't had bangs in years!!



pink streaks in my hair isn't exactly daring for me. you are reading the blog of a girl who once had a mohawk. yep, you read that right, a mohawk. and let me tell you, it was a kick ass mohawk too.

bookstore browsing

i spent most of today in bed. you know how it goes sometimes. woke up with a headache, went back to sleep, woke up later with the same headache, went back to sleep, woke up later, yep, headache still there. it wasn't completely debilitating thankfully. after ryan got off of work he swung by the house and picked me up and we went to help an older lady around her house. i usually go to her house at least once a month, sometimes more.

after helping her out, ryan treated me to crab legs at our local seafood restaurant, back bay. we both ordered all you can eat crab legs. it was excellent! after dinner and stuffed with crab we decided to go bookstore browsing. one of my favorite past times. i didn't actually get anything this time (it's true!). although they did have a book that i've been eyeing for sometime now, baron baptiste's 40 days to a personal revolution. anyone have it? if so, what are your thoughts?

i did come across a magazine cover that i absolutely adored. sorry, the glossyness of the magazine really caused some glare in the pic. i love hitchcock's silhouette. i think on of my favorite hitchcock movies was the birds. i remember seeing this when i was younger and was fascinated. do you guys have a favorite hitchcock movie?
