Hi Friends!  Happy Labor Day Weekend!  I hope you are all having a glorious weekend, spending it with friends, family, and loved ones.  That’s what it’s all about!  I have been working and am pretty beat but did trek around Balboa Park with Scott and Skylar.

It’s been a nice day with my family and now I am off to spend some time in the kitchen, catch up on housework, and run some errands.

From my last post about scents and perfumes, I loved hearing your favorites!  Some of you also liked Chanel.  Aww, we’re BFF’s for sure then!  haha!

And I enjoyed hearing your stories of how smelling a scent you hadn’t smelled in a long time just took you back to a former time in your life.

To the question of Back Rub or Foot Rub, I think back rub won, by a narrow margin, but as I said, massage + me = always perfect, so either one works for me! 

Thanks for the sweet compliments about the pictures I posted yesterday of Skylar and I.

 She really is growing up.  And I am wearing the same clothes in today’s pictures as I was in yesterday’s, but I washed them.  However, I still haven’t washed my hair and need to do that, asap!

Questions
1. Best Thing You’ve Done or Ate All Weekend?
Me = done with work for a few days now, and our walk around Balboa Park.

2. What’s the longest you go without washing your hair?  What’s the longest you’ve ever gone?
I’m about there at 4 days.  Haha!  Normally I wash it every 2 or 3 days but I’ve pushed my limits.  I just tie it up daily when I shower and I have been putting off washing it because I didn’t want to take the time to deal with it, but I can’t push my luck anymore!

3. What’s your definition of Perfect Weather? 
Mine is pretty much what we’re having right now, mid 70s, no humidity, not a cloud in the sky, however I wouldn’t mind if it was low 80s, though.  Basically right before I crack a sweat is perfect by me!  Cold and snow, rain, cloudy, gloomy, no way, not for me!

4. Monday-Are you off work or not?
I’m off from paid employment on Monday, but I will still be busting my ass around the house, taking care of Skylar, and handling all of the cooking and cleaning, laundry, and everything else, for freeThere’s two types of work as a wife and mother: paid and unpaid.   All moms know the unpaid labor is way harder!  But more rewarding!
Do you have paid and unpaid work?  What’s harder?  What do you like better?

I realize this is question hodge podge, that’s ok though, and I’m just going with it.

Enjoy your holiday Monday and I’ll see you tomorrow!
