Asheville Bound

I'm not "feeling it" this morning.  I'm trying to stay focused on easy peasy and relax, but it's hard.  It feels like I have so much to do and I want to get this weekend over with -- not the attitude I need or want.

Where did my FS go?!?!

Yesterday was kind of a miss day and I think that's leading up to this rush of panic today.  My hair appointment was pushed back which was no problem, but it turned out pushed back meant a lot shorter.  So 15 minutes after we started, her next appointment arrived.  I learned a few tips and learned how to use the curling iron so that was good.  The updo she did was HORRIBLE though.  And not what I asked her to show me.  She took pictures along the way and here's the final product.

I was disappointed.  I expected to enjoy a pretty updo (I took it out as soon as I got home) and get some practice with my hair.  Her husband was getting a steroid injection for his back this week so they were both adjusting appointments (they share one store) so that's why everything was jammed up.  

The afternoon and evening ended up with a SOLID 4 1/2 hours on the phone.  It was one call after another -- all good calls, all catch ups, but I should've had a quiet afternoon instead.  I needed "space" before I tackle this weekend.  My bad.

I think the panic feeling is because we've never traveled with this couple or spent more than a few hours together.  This is a big step in "our relationship" and I'm worried.  FS would NOT be worried though.  I'm on the search for her today.

It's a big morning -- packing, dog walking, workout and then a drive to Asheville.  Rushed grocery run to get stuff for dinner tonight, get food prepped and then company arrives this afternoon.  I'll need to cook dinner, entertain and clean up.  I know myself and I know by the time they arrive, I'll be pooped out and it's just the beginning.  I bit off more than I can chew.

Anyway -- I need to turn this around and focus on the fun of it instead.  I'll leave with a couple of Duke pictures.  This dog!!!!!  Have a good weekend -- I'll probably be back Monday or Tuesday with a recap (hopefully a good one).  Later gators.
