So maybe I shouldn't have scheduled a haircut on Friday the 13th after all. It's not super awful, but it's not what I was going for. It's a little shorter and no real style, just a long bang chopped straight across before I asked her to try to angle it a bit. Basically I now have a shoulder length cut with some short pieces in front that annoy me and I keep re-tucking behind my ears all day. No bangs. Oh and did I mention that I scheduled a Wash + Cut Only, so I went in, waited a few minutes, got my hair washed and cut and was done in 21 minutes for FIFTY DOLLARS? What the what now? Of course, I left a $10 tip for the stylist as well, so I was out $60. No real styling, no hair drying...I can't even imagine what it costs to get one's hair colored or any extra services added on.
Moving on.
Phil booked us a 24 hour getaway to Newport to a little Bed + Breakfast place we like, and we stayed overnight on Friday. It was just what the doctor ordered. We ate, we walked, we slept in, we ate some more, we shopped, we picked up groceries on the way home and still made it to the Vigil Mass on Saturday. We have absolutely no photos but it was the start of a nice Father's Day weekend for Phil which he deserved!
On Sunday morning, Phil and five kids ran the 5k race in our town. The Ice Cream Cottage is a sponsor and it's a fun event plus we can just walk over to the start line.

Happy Father's Day to their favorite! |
It was Brendan's (age 8) first time running a 5k race and he did great! Phil ran with him and said he ran the whole time and had a good attitude.
