Flip Flops Galore....

Old Navy was having their $1 flip flop sale......I recruited my sister, Kerri and Stacey (soon to be sister in law) to come with me and purchase some for me. There was a limit of 5 per person. I needed 20 so I'm currently 5 short....another trip to the store is due soon.

So Stacey gets there first and there is a line out the door to even get into the store....really....OMG....so I meet her in the line and it takes about 15 minutes or so to get inside. Well once in there we realize there is like no selection of colors at all....so I opt to get all white for the girls and blue for the boys......works for me! So we grab what we can and go to get in line to pay....OMG....are you kidding me....the line is wrapped around the entire store....and the wait...1 1/2 hours....WHAT!!

So we get in line and wait, and wait, and wait some more. Kerri finally gets there only to join us in line. I start to get light headed....so I have to leave the girls in line and go sit down for a hot second in the dressing room. I think it was the overwhelming smell of rubber from all the flip flops! I start feeling better and meet them back in line....feels like we have not moved at all!

So we are getting closer and a bunch of the Old Navy workers decided to roll out all these carts filled with new flip flops.....OMG....they have pink....I rush over and pick out 10 pink flip flops people must think I'm crazy! Why would anyone need that many pink flip flops?

Well I'm adding them to my welcome bags in Maui...Pink for the Girls & Blue for the Guys! :) I'm excited for all the fun goodies I'm adding to them, but I can't give away all of them until after the wedding or it wouldn't be a surprise!

So an 1 1/2 hours or so goes by and we are at the front of the line....we paid and were out! Oh but before we leave the store it's blog time.....

Yes....I made Kerri & Stacey take a pick inside Old Navy with me before we left....LOL...people look at us like we were "new" and had never been to Old Navy before. It was funny

After Old Navy the three of us went down to the Farmer's Market and had lunch and coffee....good times!!

Sticky Situation

Ok, so you no one would ever believe this to happen but it did....I went to Safeway on a normal after work outing to get dinner for James and I. Then when I left I thought oh crap....I forgot to get a nice gel pen for my invites.....so I dropped into Walgreens real quick (in the same parking lot). I get out of the car and go to brush my hair away from me like I always do, but to my surprise my hand gets stuck in my hair....yes you read this correctly....my hand got stuck in my hair! Someone put super glue in my hair....OMG....I ended up having a major freak out session in Walgreen's with a very nice lady who was down to have a drama moment with me. :) Then I left and called James.....all I could think was to get home!



I get home and instantly James and I get online....we search everything we can think of to try and find out how to get super glue out of hair....not too many options...and the most popular answer is "to cut it"! Ummmm.....NOOOOOOOO!!!



So the next major break down happens....I start to think OMG REALLY....really I might have to cut my hair off a month before my wedding.....devastating!



The next step is James runs to the store and picks up Acetone & Baby Oil....two of the top choices on line, he comes home and we start in on the "let's try this" sessions.
BRING ON THE WINE!!

First I try soaking my hair in hot soapy water.....no luck!





Second we try acetone.....no luck!





Third I take a shower and wash and condition the crap out of my hair....no luck! Notice there was no "we" in the third option.......dang it.....LOL!!





Fourth.....James tries the acetone again....no luck!





Fifth....James calls my sister....and say's ummmm....Kerri....I think we need your help...I don't know what to do. :)





Sixth....Kerri shows up with Tristen....It was so cute....Tristen says "Aunt Jenn...did a bad guy hurt your hair"?





Seventh....The brushing and cutting begins....it felt like I was cutting out so much hair....I think only because it was long strips, small strips, clumps and so on. Really it ended up being less then when you get your hair trimmed. Thank goodness!!

So during this process James is taking pictures of me....and in my head I'm thinking what in the world is he thinking? Does he want me to cry more? Then he says that he's taking these pictures because he knows I will want to blog about this later.....omg....it's official he knows about the crazy blogging addiction that I have! So Funny!!

I was so upset I apperantly decided that it would be a good idea to pull my face as hard as I could to one side....ummm....
