Random Thoughts

Friday, in between my manic blog postings, Ariel called me. We managed to find enough to talk about for 45 minutes. Made me feel like I was back in high school when I would do things like that. Nowadays, I avoid that phone like I avoid talking to the talker at work. It was very nice to have someone to talk with while the boys were gone and before the Emmy's officially came on. After much talking about nothing much in particular, we figured out some birthday plans. YAY! I have PLANS. She has offered to come down on my birthday and baby-sit. I have the day after off, so that works out well for me. I can at least have dinner, and maybe a drink or two downtown before I head home. And then I'll get to come home and see Ariel! All in all, a pretty awesome birthday. It'll be like my own personal party, like those personal pan pizzas. Hopefully she won't run screaming the minute I get back. Derek has been something else lately. He did well at the Magic thing, which they didn...

I got a HAIR CUT. Seriously. I can FINALLY not hate my hair. It was strange, being able to wear it down today. It could use another dye job. I've been kind of listening when people have given advice about it. Someone said I should do the Burgundy that I used to do. Problem: Red fades FAST and then I end up orange. She liked the way it looked orange. I don't know. I could see doing some dark and drastic, but I don't have time or the inclination for up-keep on red hair. Much like the blonde, I just don't do it often enough. Karina mentioned brown or black. I've avoided black for fear of looking like a wannabe vampire, but maybe I could pull it off. Brown seems more do-able, the only problem being then I'd look more like my mom and I've avoided that for YEARS. I don't know. Maybe a REALLY dark brown. And having bangs would help, as she never had bangs. I've been fascinated with black ever since I started thinking about it. I just don't want to do so...
