Kitty Deschanel | Food, Wine, and Travel Adventures Across the USA

I'm typing this while stuck on hold with Travelocity. Why don't they offer an online chat option? They are an online travel agency, after all! This call has been going on for close to 40 minutes. That's worth saving $25, right? Have a great weekend, my bloggy friends! *Update* My call finally ended and I actually saved $50, not just $25, on our upcoming Alaskan cruise. Totally worth it! (Though, I'm still not sure why it had to take sooooo long!)

My hair has been looking kinda sad lately. It hasn't been trimmed in months, excluding the time I bravely/foolishly took the scissors to it myself, and the color, which I wasn't crazy about to begin with, had faded to a fuzzy beige. On Tuesday night, I dyed my hair with the darkest brown dye I could find. It's a little too dark. Everyone wants to know why I dyed my hair a harsh black! Tomorrow, I'll be adding some caramel highlights. Tune in next week for photos (beautiful photos, I'm sure - no hair disasters, hopefully!) And now, let's link up:

I have not one, but TWO, weddings to attend in the upcoming weeks (one of which involves guests staying at our home), so I'm going to be busy, busy, BUSY this weekend. Of course, I'll still make time to visit all your fabulous links. That's a weekly highlight!

Sexy Nerd and I will be celebrating with grilled steak (cooked for us by one of our favorite Albuquerque restaurants, Scalo) followed by an evening on our patio, guarding our house against any stray fireworks set off by riffraff neighbors. Whenever we hear an explosion, we'll shake our imaginary canes and grumble that we hope they blew off a finger. Isn't it nice when two old souls find each other? Think how bad we'll be once we hit our mid-thirties! Have a great 4th of July weekend, everyone.

(Yes, of course you are!) I'm 100% ready for the weekend, with nothing planned except reading magazines, relaxing, and resting my beaten-up body. Oh, didn't I tell you? I got my butt kicked last night. By myself. You'd think by age 30 I'd have gotten the whole "walking up steps" thing figured out, but I apparently haven't. I'd you've ever tripped while running upstairs at full speed, resulting in both bare legs smacking into the wooden step edge, and both arms twisting wrong in a failed attempt to stop the fall, you surely feel my pain. But hey, at least I didn't break both legs, right? Have a better weekend than me, bloggy friends. 6/10/18 Update: It has been TEN YEARS since that fall on the stairs and you still cannot touch my legs where they hit or else they will hurt. Crazy, right?

Sexy Nerd and I are spending this weekend designing our dream home . The plan is to break ground within the next couple of months! How about you?
