Keeping up the assignment
August 7, 2009
1. I colored my hair! It was nice to have an indulgent moment of goodness, and just give myself a treat that I’d been avoiding for so long because I couldn’t afford it. The color was on sale, and I had a coupon, so I bought it and dyed my hair.
2. Mom emailed me new pictures of my nephew! He’s gotten so big! It always makes me smile to see him, and as an added bonus, I did get to talk to him on the phone the other day, too!
3. I heard from my best friend tonight! We haven’t talked a lot lately, she’s been busy with moving and I…well, I’ve been a bit…off. But it was great! Got to chitchat with her for a while and catch up, and find out how her adorable baby is doing! Made me realize I missed talking with her. Yay!

1. Woke up this morning and got a good look at my hair after it dried. I had gotten a different brand of hair color because my usual brand didn’t have my usual color. I got what I thought was the equivalent, but it wasn’t. It was much darker. My hair is that blackish/purplish color of a beautifully ripe eggplant. After getting over the shock, I realize I kind of like it and I hope it doesn’t fade too soon. An inadvertent change that I really like, it makes me smile. That and I’m told I have anime hair now. Squee!
2. Mom sent me a card, one of those just because cards, letting me know I’m in her thoughts, and that she loves me and is always there for me. That makes me smile, and feel loved. It’s a wonderful feeling.
3. I discovered a new favorite song by accident! A while ago I got the new(ish) 3 Doors Down album, because it had 3 or 4 songs on it I knew I liked. Had it cued up on a playlist, and one of the other songs came on that I had never fully listened to. It made me get up and bop/pseudo-headbang around the apartment, which is something, considering Jenn don’t dance. I’ve played it repeatedly the last couple of days, and have yet to get tired of it.

1. I woke up this morning, planning on going to work with a smile on my face, regardless of what happened, just to see how it would work. My coworker said I was energetic, and it was nice, and you know what? Work was kind of fun, even if it was a little tiring setting up a second part of the law section. And, because I was determined to smile throughout the day, I had other people smiling back at me! It was nice to see people smile at me in turn. It really can give you warm fuzzies.
2. Another work related thing (Considering that’s where I spent my whole day, not too surprising, I suppose). I had a first year law student come and ask for help, while it was thundering outside. This knocked down our internet and ICS system. Yaaay. BUT, I somehow still managed to help her find her books through an interesting process I don’t care to repeat. It involved my boss’ cell phone web browser, a 26 page list of title/authors of law books I had on hand for other reasons, and a lot of pure luck. I still got her her books though, and she was so pleased and so thankful, she swore she’d never shop anywhere else unless she absolutely had to. And she hoped that whenever she’s in the store, I’m there to help her because I rock. :)
3. I found my Trans-Siberian Orchestra CD!!! Specifically, Beethoven’s Last Night. I have all their albums, but thought I lost that one in a move. Going through my software tonight, to find one of my discs for my printer, I saw a blank CD and popped it in the drive. It’s BLN!! Squeee!! I absolutely LOVE Trans-Siberian Orchestra. All of their other CDs are Christmas music, but this one isn’t, so I popped it in and bopped around to it while making dinner tonight. Found lost, loved music. This makes a happy Jenn.
All for now. Have to get up uber early tomorrow, for work, so I'm going to call it a night. Taa!!!
Love,
Me.
