Ah yes, how I love my Fridays.
A glass of wine in hand...dinner cooking...classical music playing...and all this insane pollen making me oh-so tired.
It's all good.
I'm feeling a little less blonde than I'd prefer these days. I'm so not digging the new ombre hair style - it's like, when your roots are growing out so the dark is heavy and the light is at the ends. It's so not a good look. I'm sort of the reverse; lighter on top, darker underneath. While cool, I still would prefer to be brighter.
On the upside, my hair is definitely long again. It's like all of a sudden...it grew! By my one year anniversary of cutting it short, it should be pretty much where it was when I cut it. Unbelievable, right? That's what I'm thinking....
I really and truly can't be growing old. I just can't be. Today at Starbucks, I ran into a married couple who are friends of mine from high school; for the 5 minutes we spent catching up, it was like we were right back in school. I mean, I see them from time to time anyway - but today for some reason, it was like we were kids again. And even though we were talking about our kids, and how it's fun being a parent and challenging at the same time -- it still felt like we were the kids. It made me feel very nostalgic for when I was young, and truly didn't realize just how much life I had ahead of me. It's funny how when you're "in the moment" of life, you really just don't know all that you think you do. Anyway, it was a good visit....It was good to see them, and I look forward to the next time I run into them again.
I can tell you what I am not looking forward to -- all this flipping rain we're supposed to get. What is up with cold and rainy? Ugh, so not what I was hoping for. But you know, with the ying is the yang - and the upside to all this lousy weather is that tomorrow I can look forward to just hanging in and catching up on laundry. (I know, crazy to be happy about catching up on laundry, but truly - there will be nothing to distract me from it which is a good thing!) Pajamas, a good cup of coffee and warm, cozy smells of laundry. Little people running about and hopefully a day of relaxation. Best of all, all of this horrible pollen will hopefully be washed away!!
And then maybe....this girl will be able to wear mascara once again.....

Yup. Rain. And cold. Making up somewhat for the mild winter, I guess.
