A twist on the top 5

So, I do have a couple of favorite things to share this week, but I thought I'd mix in a couple of requests for others' favorite things.

1) PS I Love You is out on video today. I saw it this winter in the theater with Amy and we both sobbed through the whole thing. It is a bit sappy, and perhaps slow in a couple parts, but it is very touching, heart wrenching and even funny in parts. Oh, and a few Irish accents thrown in for good measure. Love it!

2) Shari's. Saturdays and Sundays are kids eat free days. Usually the rule is two free kid's meals for each paying adult. Which is still a good deal even if I do take all 3 kids by myself. But, a huge shout out to the Mill Creek Shari's for giving me all 3 kids' meals for free. Bonus!
3) My newly found creativity. I've recently become a Stampin' Up! demonstator. I haven't done very much demonstrating yet, but hope to. In the mean time, thanks to mom, I've been able to outfit myself with plenty of supplies for myself. Up to this point, I've only copied cards that had the required materials laid out for me. But, this past week I've been scrambling to get mother's day cards done. For a couple I borrowed ideas from elsewhere to get started, but a couple were completely of my own making, and I must say they turned out pretty good.

4) Request #1. I need an indestructible, durable, yet comfortable dog harness. Gillian the cutest chocolate lab mix ever is very good at chewing through her harnesses. After the first one, I though it was a fluke, that she got caught on something that got the job started. Then I got her a new one. She chewed through the thing in less than half an hour! I prefer the harness to the collar in case I need to tie her to a lead, she won't slip out as easy, she has a fairly slender neck. HELP!

5) I need a decent, reasonably priced hair stylist. I need a cut and color so bad its almost shameful. But, my regular hair lady went and moved to Yakima on me, so I am orphaned. I gave in and went to a local chain place for a trim and bought a home box of color, but I really need some hair TLC! My sister has a lady, but she books up like 2 months in advance. I am not capable of planning that far ahead! So again, HELP! My hair thanks you.

there's a lady in the MOMS club who is a stylist (out of her home, for friends at this point). i haven't been to her yet and i'm not sure how much she charges, but i'm going to get her to cut mine before we go to ohio. i can find out if she'd be willing to do a do for a friend of a friend.
