It seems like a melancholy day around here today. The sky is heavy with a constant misty rain and the thunder seems to be at a low steady rumble.

I got up this morning and went to my hair appointment. Can I just say that I love the salon? Well, I do and I never read magazines/books while I’m there as I love to watch people and different stylists cut hair. I believe I could sit in that salon all day and never get bored. It’s a good size salon with about 30 chairs and they offer manicures and several other services as well. It’s decorated in beautiful reds, black, and white and the stylists are always dressed in black. The floor is beautiful wood and the walls have little pockets with gorgeous pieces of pottery tucked away. The music in the far background sounds like a tropical island and the feeling there is so relaxed and welcoming. After spending two hours in there getting my color, I felt as though I wasn’t ready to leave. Maybe next time I’ll schedule a few more things and make a day of it.

Lauren doesn’t seem to be feeling to well today as she was not up for running around. I wanted to take her out to the Lockheed recreation center so that she could look into yoga classes which she loves so much. She also wanted to look into some other activities out there, something must be really wrong for her to stay in bed this morning. I think her long trip and late nights are catching up with her and hope she gets rested up soon. I’ve got a couple more errands to run this afternoon so I’ll see if she’s chipper enough to get moving.

Update as of 3:15 PM

I couldn’t seem to get Lauren out of the house with me at all today. I think it was the weather and she said she was feeling a bit gloomy so I left. While I was out and about a tornado warning alarm sounded. The place I was in called all customers into a back room away from all windows. I called Lauren at home and had her go into the pantry where she stayed for 45 min. There were 3 (if not more) tornados that grounded in our area in that short amount of time but we are all safe and sound now.
