argyle sweaters and red hair coloring

As a faithful long time employee of the State of Georgia, I am celebrating my first furlough day by, what else? spending money!  Actually, I have been secretly excited about this day for a while.  I don't know about you, but it's really hard to take a day off for no good reason. Most of the time I am going on vacation, sick, or tacking it on to a long weekend. I never take a day off in the middle of the week.  Well, thanks to the recent recesssion, depression, economic turndown, whatever you want to call it, I get a whole day off smack dab in the middle of the week.
Today,  I am getting my hair done.  My roots are 3 inches long and screaming for some beautiful red hair coloring.  After that, I am going to  have a little retail therapy, and hopefully find an argyle sweater. Why? I have no explanation other than I have really fallen in love with those crazy diamond sweaters and want one. Maybe it's the cool in the air.   After that I am meeting the prettiest man in Putnam county and going to lunch.
I have no complaints about my furlough day......at least not until payday!
