I cut my hair again today. It grows at such a fast rate that now I was looking like Dora the Explorer, my ends scraggly again and getting long. This afternoon I went in, had the hairstylist laugh at the fact that I've returned after a few weeks, and then $11 later, had shorter hair. "I guess this means you won't be going back to the long hair for a while?" someone asked me. Nope. I'm not. I like the short hair. I like that it sticks up and that it's different from anything I've had. Call me shallow and incongruent, but my haircut makes me feel good. It's such a silly thing I have with hair. I shouldn't let it dictate anything, but...well, I don't know.
Today, I also did something I'd never done before.
Guess.
Guess.
It's not that I never thought I'd do it, and maybe I didn't have to, but better safe than sorry.
Let's just say it involved the assistance of a crispy chicken burrito and a Coke from Taco Time.
I heart Taco Time. It's so silly that they put it in that location; had they put it maybe in the mall, they'd have more business.
Today I also ran into one of my favoritest people in the universe. A teacher of mine, one of my heroes. At Dr. Chad's, no less. He was paying a bill and going in for an appointment and I just about melted. "So what is this I hear about you and a PhD?" he asked. We hugged, twice. He laughed, said he felt he was getting old and that I looked really good. We talked of weddings, of children, of things past. I missed him.
I like how people write these epic, deep entries, and I write about Taco Time and my hair.
Ah well.
I had a fabulous week and only five adjustments today. And I also discovered that turning on the shower full blast on 'hot' and closing all the windows and the bathroom door isn't as fun as it sounds. Yeah, a steamy shower is a good idea...in theory, not in execution.
The end?
