Tuesday Tidbits – 222

Happy Tuesday from Tucson! I’m here for the week on work travel. After a long day of cross-country traveling, an internal meeting, and a donor meeting, my evening plans consist of getting a workout in and grabbing pho from my regular Tucson spot!

1. Want a chance to win a free haircut, blowout and/or color from a local salon in Old Town Alexandria DC-ers and Virginians? Claude Marcel salon is offering anyone that either donates an unwrapped toy or makes a monetary contribution to their Toys for Tots fundraiser a free opportunity to get glammed up for the holidays. All you have to do is drop off an unwrapped toy (or make a monetary contribution) at the salon (208 N. Washington Street, Suite 1, Alexandra, VA) between now and Tuesday December 12. Your name will be added to the drawing. On December 15, 4 winners will be selected and they can choose to have their service done this month or in the New Year. It’s a win-win!
2. Hoping to get our holidays cards out this week! 
3. Even though I’ve been traveling quite a bit for both work and pleasure (NYC with Katie, Maine for Thanksgiving, NYC for a work dinner, and now Tucson), I’m still having wanderlust. Thinking about planning a trip to Ireland for early-summer 2018…
4. A beautiful and delicious salad from my annual holiday party this year – a gal’s brunch. Recap next week! 
5. Tommy and I attended a Christmas service yesterday at the funeral home where my mom’s services were held in October. It was lovely and emotional. Still can’t believe we’ll be celebrating Christmas without her…
