things things things

said haircut ensued on thursday. the result was a trim. i'm thinking of growing it out until summer and then possibly cutting it short short short. when i showed roy (my hair guy--and he is awesome) the picture of the short hair style he said, "you are not ready for this. this is the kind of haircut that you must drink wine during so that you can handle it." whenceforth i pulled out a picture taken circa august 2000. the picture was of me with hair shorter than the girl in the previously mentioned pic. he says, "whoa. that was short!" so, he knows i'm ready :) but...i must learn to style bangs. this will be VERY difficult. VERY. but i will attempt to get to know my bangs and style them in a manner that will warrant short hair. god help us all.

earlier today we had some friends over for the super bowl AND IT WAS FABULOUS :) it was a lot of fun. i'm sure you remember jen & brian from an earlier post and my friend dominique all joined us for an afternoon and evening of football watching, ping-pong playing, laughter and excellent conversation. it was the kind of day where i step outside of myself for one moment and think, "this is the life. this is the life i have dreamed about." ben and i made two batches of chili (one beef and one turkey), football cupcakes, and hung streamers in the teams' colors across the living room. it was a great day.

although...does that really make tonight sunday night? and does that really mean that tomorrow is monday and it's back to work? how can this be? where did our weekend go? why am i typing in such a panicky voice right now?!?!?

couldn't we all use an extra weekend day? i know i always could...
