Updates!

Sorry it has been a while, but I've been busy:

1. Preparing to start............MY NEW JOB!! Yes, yes, that is right. I finally found a new job. And it is a job that I am going to love.
2. Researching and buying a new car (way overdue!)
3. Getting my haircut fixed. I went to a different stylist to get my first cut "fine tuned" and now it looks short, but stylish.
4. Tending to my hospitalized boyfriend. He had a spontaneous pneumothorax, aka: his lung collapsed without warning, while he was eating lunch on Monday......all because he fits the "tall, slender, 25 - 35 yo" description. They can't tell him anything else about why it happened.
5. Being super-sleepy.

goodnight!

Productive me (?)

First, Steph and Matt's wedding was fantastic! I could certainly feel the love, so much so that I fought back tears a few times during the ceremony (as most of the women there did.....). At the ceremony I caught up with friends that I haven't seen in a while, some since leaving Ann Arbor over a year ago: Mer and Alex, Alison, Gaby and Greg, Mary and Jeremy, etc. What fun! AND, get this: Steph's cousin, who sat at the same dinner table as Kyle and I, grew up by me in Georgia and went to the high school I almost went to and then we found out that she atttended the small Michigan liberal arts college that Kyle almost went to.....two random connections to one person! Crazy.

Since then I've been filling my time by making my way through my Netflix que, walking Cooper, cleaning my house (dog hair EVERYWHERE!) and I ordered a random On Demand movie one night. Did anyone ever see "The Pirate Movie" circa 1982 starring Kristy McNichol and Christopher someone? Horrible musical about pirates, but my sister and I used to watch it over and over again when we were little and I still remember the words to the songs. I was worried that my new haircut looked bad, but it looks stellar compared to some of the 1982 hair :-)

And one other little thing: I got a new job!! It's a job in a field that I've been trying to break into for several months now, so I'm obviously ecstatic. A pay raise, a entirely different field of work, new coworkers, more responsibility.......I'll divulge more details once I get the offical offer letter from HR and let my current employer know I'm gettin' the heck out of there!

3 inches?!

I went to get my hair cut today. It had been since April! I searched online for a few pictures representing what I wanted and brought them into my stylist. He was very excited about my choice and, being a 15 year-or-so veteran of the hair cutting industry was positive that he could make my hair look fabulous.

The good news is that he gave me a great hair cut, the bad news is that the length is about 3 inches shorter than we had originally discussed. He said he got "scissor happy". I definitely don't look like I had imagined I would. I feel I look like a german school girl. My hair is just above my chin....at the longest. And it doesn't help that the McDonald's drive through guy addressed me as "miss" more than once--I believe that affirms my "I look like a german school girl" insecurity.

We'll see what I can pull off tomorrow when I style it for the first time in preparation to attend Steph's wedding!!
