Things.
I had an interesting weekend. I decided to color my hair, so Friday night I put the dark brown on it. That's pretty much all I did Friday night. I was pretty tired. Saturday morning I had rehearsal for Sunday. Then I went to do a couple errands and went home to clean a little bit for Angela to come over. She brought her puppy Bastion, and he and Mulan had a big time playing together. He is one of the most adorable dogs I have ever seen! We went to see Batman Begins which was tremendous. I was very impressed. Excellent cast and everything. (Usually there's one annoying actor who disappoints me, but not this time.) We almost went to the Imax to see it, but I didn't want to spend the money, so we went to the regular theatre. It was so loud though, and my seat was vibrating during the big train crash--it would have been overwhelming in the Imax.
We went back to my place and ate dinner, then she pulled my hair through a frosting cap. Bastion got in touch with his labrador heritage and ran around like a crazy person. He was hillarious! I was hoping Virginia (my cat) would play with him since they're about the same size, but she didn't really want anything to do with a puppy. They left about 10 while I was sitting there with bleach on my head. I left the bleach on longer than the 90 minute maximum, and it came out looking very crappy. I can't decide whether it looks reddish or just plain orange in places. Now I know why people with hair like mine pay $75 and up to get it colored at a salon. Mine is really long and ridiculously thick. And since gray started coming in when I was about 20, I must keep it colored. So now I'm trying to figure out how best to deal with my weird highlights until I have enough money to go to the salon to get them to be normal-looking highlights. I went to a salon close to my house yesterday to ask whether there was some sort of toner or something I could put on it to help just blend away the orange, and the lady basically said there's nothing you can do, just wash it a lot, and it will eventually go away. I have no idea how it's supposed to just go away. It's not like the dark brown that will lighten to my natural not-quite-as-dark brown.
Yesterday Christie was in town and I had lunch with her and her kids, and another friend and her kids. We went to McDonald's so the kids could play on the playground. It was nice just to be with them though. Missed my daddy yesterday. My brothers and their families went to my parents' house, so I was really happy he at least had them. His sons do not pay him the attention he deserves, so I'm thankful they honored him yesterday.
I've been really struggling with my ADD since coming off Wellbutrin. That's really been the worst part about it! Mid-afternoon comes, and I'm just done. I hate feeling so unproductive. I do a lot of staring off. There's an eerie calm. I think it's due to an inability to process much information. I don't know.
I'm still waiting on my Alias DVDs to come in. I got a notice today that my purchase of Season 4 was cancelled due to some violoation of policy on the seller's part, or something like that. So I'd better get a refund. i'm a little worried about that one.
i go home in 11 days for a little vacation!!! still not sure when i MOVE home. hopefully some time in july. tomorrow is the first day of summer. there was a time when i said i would not be working here at optimum past the first day of summer. i hate it when goals get put off... but it's not like i can control it. i mean i could quit for the sake of my goal, but i'd be homeless, which would violoate several other personal goals, so that's really not a good idea.
oh well... it is in sight at least.....
