Uno, Dos, Tres

Keeping 'er short and simple today, as I gear up for the A to Z Challenge starting on Friday! I've got three things to share with you. Aren't I nice!

1. Today is a hair salon day. Very important in my world, since I have short, platinum hair. It's not a good look when that grows out, believe me.

2. The bunion on my wrist is getting bigger! It's been such a pleasure watching it grow stronger and develop into the fine bunion specimen it is today.

3. I'm at author Caroline Smailes' blog today! Caroline is an author I first met on Twitter and then in person at her launch of Like Bees to Honey. She is super nice and SO supportive; she recently talked me down off the ledge when I had a mini-implosion. Anyway, please check out her blog if you get the chance because it's a great one, on any day!

Happy Hump Day, everyone!

    Love hair salon day, though I don't really go that frequently. I barely manage to brush my hair on a daily basis. :)

    Hope a doctor has seen to your wrist!

    Going over to Caroline Smailes' blog right now.

    Enjoy all those glossy mags in the hairdressers', Talli! It's research after all - multitasking at its best. X

    There's nothing like getting your hair done, perhaps you'll follow it up with wine and cupcakes later - I will!

    Visiting from AtoZ and looking forward to reading your posts.

    Hope they give you a glass of wine while you wait your turn in the hair chair. And hope your wrist is seen by a physician...soon!

    Happy Wednesday! :o)

    I totally need a salon day this weekend! thanks for the reminder. Didn't know you could get a bunion on your wrist...but if they hurt as much as the ones on your feet you have my sympathy. (Heck, you have it even if they don't)

    I totally love those hair salon days. I have one tomorrow. I love all the pampering and I when I leave I feel always feel like I need to go out and do something special. My salon has the best coffee! Sorry to hear about your bunion on your wrist, that must hurt. I had very painful bunions on my feet-just had surgery recently on both. I am pain free!
    Looking foward to the A_Z challange.

    I love salon day :) We all have our challenges that make that day vital in our lives!

    Feeling a little, er, terrified of the challenge. We'll see if I make it through. *fingers crossed*

    Happy hump day indeed--something's going on with the space/time continuum that's causing this week to take a ridiculously long time.

    I think I need a salon day too, actually. Might look into that!

    I love salon days, although I don't always agree with the hairdresser ;) Can't wait to start the challenge too! Hope to see you again while blog-trotting :P

    I know I need a salon day. Like last week. Nails too. I was going today but the tires need replacing. If my hair goes flat it's an easy fix--grab a comb, if a tire goes flat--grab the jack, an umbrella, struggle to be coordinated...

    It appears things are calming down a bit so I should be able to get there next week.

    I'll dash on over to Carolines....

    Oooo! Bring on the fun!!! Have a great day at the salon... I love getting pampered and maintenance is so important!!!!

    I'm excited to gear up for the A-Z Blogging Challenge!!! Woohoo!!! Already have A & B covered!

    Hoping over to Caroline's blog now!!!

    Sorry I've been distant! I know you know I still heart you (whoa, that was a mouthful)!

    A bunion on your wrist!?! I thought they only grew on feet. I once had a ganglion on my wrist. It was caused by playing the classical guitar but that's another story. Enjoy the hairdressers and I'm looking forward to reading your A to Z blogs.

    Hi Talli .. going platinum would be a shock for me .. silvering gently is easier! Waiting a few years too?! The ganglion - is it .. can be bashed with a Bible - large Germanic ones .. like the ancients travelled with .. that dispersed the sheaved knot ... I had one in SA - fortunately it went .. hope you can sort it.

    I'll be over to Caroline's now .. a Hump Day to you too - it's wet and cold down here .. cheers Hilary

    Thanks for the heads up. I'll go check out that blog. And I can't even imagine having to go to the hair salon regularly to keep my hair platinum blond. You must be organized.

  21. Nubian30 March 2011 at 14:54

    A trip to the hairdresser is always a great time to rest.

    Your 'bunion' is probably a ganglion cyst. I have one and just went to the ortho. Have to go to a hand therapist to have a brace made as I do not want surgery just yet. Good luck!

    I suppose the thing on your wrist is an affliction that comes with typing?

    I got my hair done today too! But I have the opposite problem of you---mine is dark and when the greys are allowed to show themselves, it ain't pretty.

    I love the salon too! I go to Edinburgh every 12weeks and have THE works - all served up with a couple of glasses of proper bubbly and a hello magazine. Who could ever want for more? Just wish I could go more often than four times a year! Don't know if they manicure bunions....do you want me to ask...?

    I checked out your interview at Caroline's blog! Truly enjoyed it :) I'm excited to hear and learn more about Watching Willow Watts in the future... it sounds so interesting! Thanks for your bit of advice on redrafting/editing; it is so easy to just try and change a multitude of things all at once but if you focus on a million different aspects, it's easier to mess something up.

  47. Hart Johnson31 March 2011 at 14:17

    I'm totally cracking up about your bunion. Have you ever seen the movie How to Get Ahead in Advertising? A growth on the guys shoulder eventually turns into a head and takes over his life... this reminded me of that...

  48. J.L. Campbell31 March 2011 at 14:30

    I say all the time that I learn something new everyday. Didn't know that bunions could grow on wrists. I assume you've had it looked at so you know what you're talking about. :D

    Will check out the interview.

    Oooh I'm on the Challenge too! Good luck!

    About that wrist... are you going to have to operate on it? Because it sounds similar to something my best friend gets, called ganglions. She had to get them surgically removed. Anyway. If you haven't checked out your wrist yet, you really should.

    Hope it gets better soon.

    Hair is always a problem for me. With naturally curly hair it takes a long time to straighten it. I bet that your hair looks great!

    Hair salon day is a weekly event for my mother which began with my grandmother. I broke the mold by only going for haircuts and highlights. Though I am good with a brush, my tech skills need lots of work and the A to Z Challenge Badge won't paste on to my sidebar or anywhere else. My hair is frizzing up in despair over this!
    Looking forward to the challenge...hope I haven't upset your bunion!

    I'm at emptynestinsider.blogspot.com
