love & hate good friday
love: My boss is Catholic so she closes the office on Good Friday! This is new to me, and I love it already. So ready for a three day weekend.
hate: Bwahhh, I have to hop on two different conference calls tomorrow. I am too weenie to tell clients I have the day off.
love: My readers are experts in leftover hair! Such great tips in this thread. Let me highlight one in particular: If you don’t like smelling like baby powder, try the lavender and chamomile scented stuff. Thanks, Katie! How many people skipped a shampoo this week for the first time?
hate: That my fave hair guy in DC moved to a new salon on the other side of town. Le sigh.
love: Business trips to NYC and SF coming up this month. Who wants to hang out in the Bay Area???
hate: Booking travel at the last minute because of crazy work schedules. I am not spontaneous enough for this!
love: Prepping for summertime BBQs! Last weekend we cleaned out eight bags of old, wet leaves from from our backyard that had been there since last fall.
hate: We still have a lot of weeding and planting in our future before it looks good back there.
love: Tulips have bloomed a bright red in my front yard; day lillies too.
hate: Daffodils are already done for the year. Couldn’t they have bloomed just a little longer?
love: I think I finally know how I want to decorate our guest bedroom.
hate: I’d rather wait until it could become a nursery and only decorate it once…is that horrible to admit? (Also, that post above was written a year ago. I haven’t made ANY PROGRESS whatsoever in a year. I suck.)
Let me know your loves and hates in the comments, my dearests!

I’m hoping that my office closes early tomorrow too. A 3-day weekend would make it much easier to celebrate Easter.

We also have a room in our house that was once a little girl’s room with a few flowers sponge painted on the walls. We made it into our office/junk room, and said we’d paint it when it was made into a nursery. But now 2.5 years later, it is still our office! I get embarassed to show house guests. We should have just painted it when we moved in!
