as i am feeling a bit rusty and all that
lately i have been letting my thoughts gather and grow. they have seemed a bit thin. and short-lived. i will think this is something fantastical about which i should blog and then, when fingers get to keyboard it is more like eh. it has been like that. so, in lieu of some words that i haven't yet thought of or that haven't quite become magical enough yet, i will let you see my new hair. which i had dyed (dyed? colored? how come i feel like i'm about 57 regardless of which word i choose..).
this is what they call a "before" shot. as in, hey benny take a picture "before" i go to the salon.
this is what they call an "after" shot. as in, hm, maybe we should take this picture before i change into my comfy jammies but "after" you do. (i don't even know...)
in sunday news, we got our xmas tree today. it was just the thing to pull me out of my weird mood. and i really needed it. this year marks the earliest i've ever gotten a tree. i think in my lifetime. i'm usually a second-half of december kind of tree purchaser. but my blah-ness this weekend called for the most drastic of all measures.
did you think maybe you saw a sock monkey ornament? oh, you sure did.
i am getting over my fear of adding pictures to my laptop in case it runs out of space. which means i will be here more often.
in other good news, i finally found some poems i had been looking for. i wrote about them here. and then i searched and searched. and tried to not panic. and then just let it be. and today, in an act of pure randomness, i found them. in my nightstand drawer. on the bottom. and i could have cried. i was absolutely bursting with happiness. (in going back to find the link i realized i was looking for them over a year ago. and they had been right next to me while i slept every night...pure magic is what that is.)
and lastly, i have to proclaim to the world that i have a husband whose love washes over me, washes away all of my sadnesses, my anxieties, my worries. buoys me up into the fresh air. sunshine. he said and did every single thing right this weekend (and that is hard to do!). even when i cried. or complained. or got really mad and swore because sometimes all you want to do is find something in your purse without having to take out every (freakin) last thing. so thank you my sweetest&best, my hero among men. your arms around me. your comforting words. your promises. they are my shelter in any storm.
