Onward to the hair salon in town—Patti’s Cut Above. You know, the hair place next to the antique store across from the post office by the bank and the gas station at the light? (All singular of course, I LOVE SMALL TOWNS!)

He Who Makes Me Smile and I have been there a few times together and we get our haircut at the same time. Awwww, saccharine right?

I sat in the chair at Patty’s Hair Salon , my hair still wet from the shower (hello, low maintenance hair person!) and she said “a trim” and I said “no, I’m thinking cut, at least 3 inches.” When she showed me 3 inches it looked like a trim so I told her maybe more…although I think I’m supposed to want it longer for the wedding in May, but I keep seeing pictures of brides with shoulder length hair and I love it—and then she showed me 5 inches (without me know how many inches…) and I said, nyah…a little more.

Love!!!

All together she told me she cut 6 inches. Who knew?

Instantly my mood lifted and I was as sassy and bouncy and healthy as my new do! AND IT STARTED TO SNOW BIG FLUFFY FLAKES IN NIAGARA COUNTY!

And…………………

My wedding dress (fingers crossed…) is arriving today!

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Check out this video, it made me smile. (Also feel OLD since I don’t know ANY of those buildings—it wasn’t THAT long ago was it?)

AND now…makes me wonder how many of my gators had a kiss on the 13th plank? (I did…ahem…in the fluffy snow!)

Bring on the weekend!

CALLING…all funny, neurotic, outspoken and demanding BRIDES!!!!

Wait, I’m FUNNY and NEUROTIC and OUTSPOKEN and DEMANDING…and sassy and classy…and obviously full of myself. AAAAH? AM I A BRIDEZILLA*?

*You might be a bridezilla if you type in ALL CAPS?

Hmmm. I wonder who might be in the box?

Thanks Aunt Ellen and Uncle Ken for the PENGUIN ice cream scooper for my birthday! It helped me scoop the baked potatoes for the twice baked goop with the greatest of ease!

If only I had green onions. Dried chives just aren’t the same.

HWMMS killed the Christmas Tree today. Bye-bye. While going through and packing up the ornaments he went through several of the boxes we had of ornaments we didn’t use this year. Half of them went back to the basement and a bunch of them he wanted to throw out…

THROW OUT! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I can MAKE something with those ornaments, I just know it! Dear God WHAT HAS PINTEREST DONE TO ME?

I’ve been given 24 hours to figure out what I want to do with the ornaments above before they find themselves in the trash. Truthfully, I’m exceptionally proud that HWMMS wants to actually trash something. I’m usually the get-ridder-of-stuff person in our relationship.

A small bit o’ research led me to the following projects.

Anyone have any other ideas? Please share! Broken glass ornaments need to be crafted…I can just feel it!

Last night I asked HWMMS to poke and prod and massage the area to get at the painful knot. This is one activity he does NOT like to do…doesn’t like messing with the neck and pain…but he did for me anyhow. And HOLY GOD IT HURT AND FELT AMAZING AT THE SAME TIME. Shooting pain…yet relief.

At one point he took this photo. I didn’t realize he stamped me with my new Blah, Blah, Blah stamp…ha.

Also, ow. I went to bed in a good pain and woke up 12 hours later feeling better. And then I started moving around and it started to bother me again. Ibuprofen and lots and lots of water to the rescue. Until I get to the chiropractor at least.

STOP! DON’T EVEN GO THERE!

You went there, fair enough I did too.

I’ve been seeing a lot of BUZZ on Facebook/Twitter about the new ramen noodle restaurant on Elmwood… No Noo Ramen!

HWMMS really wanted to try it out, so last night we did. And WOW! They did not disappoint! The presentation was amazing, very pretty! And oh how tasty!

HWMMS ordered the Tonkotsu Ramen -pork bone broth with roast pork, menma (bamboo shoots), kamaboku egg, bacon, garlic oil.

I had no choice but to order the Loco Moco – hamburger patty over white rice, topped with country gravy, two sunny sided eggs and mac salad on the side. It was the most ridiculous item on the menu, how could I NOT try it? Japanese garbage plate anyone?

Kelly ordered the most American dish on the menu..Chicken Katsue – breaded seasoned chicken covered in Japanese curry gravy served with white rice and kimchi.

And Tom ordered the Yakisoba – stir fried ramen noodles, cabbage, bean sprouts, greens, roast pork in a savory sauce, topped with nori and sesame seeds.

Everything was delicious and fresh. Get thee to No Noo Ramen! (Just remember to bring cash, they don’t have plastic ability quite yet.)

Have you tried out No Noo Ramen yet? What did you think?
