Five on Friday

one.  My sweetheart is coming home today.  I could not be happier.  He has be gone for 10 days.  10 very long days.  I am ready to go pick him up at the airport later this evening.

two. My latest swimsuit from Lime Ricki arrived today.  I am in love with it.

I normally only purchase from their clearance section so when I first saw this swimsuit I knew I would order it as soon as it the clearance section.  Then they sold out of it.  I was so upset.  When it came back a few weeks ago during a 25% off sale I splurged and ordered it.  I cannot wait to wear it.  I love Lime Ricki.  Cute & modest swimsuits.  I don't own any other swim suits anymore.  And they aren't giving me anything for saying this, I just love their swimsuits.  

three.  I had an orthodontist appointment Wednesday.  Pretty routine.  Teeth are moving like they are supposed to be and Dr. Lay was pleased with my progress.  I sweet talked his assistant Stacey into changing my bands so I could have a new color.  I was over the teal.  Now I have pink!  You can hear more about my appointment here.

four.  I've been wanting to do something different with my hair.  I'm thinking I might be ready to grow it out again.  I bought a curling wand earlier this week to try something different.  I found a video on youtube that inspired my purchase.  I haven't tried it yet because it's summer.  I'm not one to fix my hair to sit at home alone.  But I might try it out tonight before picking up the husband.  If not tonight then I will definitely try it out next week since I have workshops ever day and have to actually go out in public.  Do any of you use one?  I'd love to hear what brand/kind and any tips that you have.  

five. Andrew and I recently went through and cleaned out our closets in preparation for our upcoming yard sale.  I realized I have no khakis.  Mine were in rough shape.  I'm going to need new ones before school starts.  Khakis are an easy way to be comfortable on those days I don't feel like getting all dressed up.  Do you have khakis that you love?  Where are they from?
