Greetings Humble Reaaders....
Happy St. Patrick's Day to you all!! I hope you're enjoying a little bit of the luck o' the Irish today! So tell me, how Irish are you? Do you have a little bit of leprechaun blood flowing through your veins? My Grandfather claims that we're Irish through and through, but I'm 7th generation Canadian on that side of the family (granted there have been influxes of fresher Irish blood through the years, but we've been here for a while). Grandpa even gets a funny Irish accent when he's been tossing a few back. :)

So, I finally did it. I bit the bullet and I got a haircut. I haven't had one for over a year, other than getting my bangs trimmed. I don't have a regular hairdresser any more, and I just haven't found someone that I really trust yet (in five years... so sad!). I got about 4 inches cut off... and it really doesn't look all that different. Just healthier. I knew I wanted to keep it simple because, really, I have no time for fussing with my hair on a daily basis. It's still long enough to put up in a ponytail or a clip, BUT I did switch to a side part from a center part (shocking! I know, I'm *soooo* trendy... more like pathetic) and I now have side bangs. Woohoo!

After my haircut, I went to my old bookstore (where I used to work) to do a little window shopping and chat with some old friends. Honestly, it was just so nice to get out of the house for a couple of hours and be me for a while (as opposed to the great-and-evil-NO-momster). Thankfully, there was a ridiculously long line at the Sta.rbucks, so I wasn't at all tempted to get something naughty.

Speaking of books, I have just finished re-reading the Hunger Games series, and I was reminded why I loved it so much the first time around. Even though it inspired some pretty crazy dreams, it is just so well written and engaging. I'm really looking forward to seeing the movie, and if we can get a sitter, we might actually see it on openning night.

From the ever-so-slightly-scary file... there was a break-in in our building last week. My Beloved came home from work on Thursday and asked if I had heard anything strange during the day. Other than our neighbours' most recent screaming match, there had been nothing out of the ordinary. It turns out that the basement unit on the back side of the building was broken into. I'm fairly creeped out that it happened while I was at home.

Tomorrow, after church, we're off to my MIL's for the afternoon and for dinner. I'm hoping that maybe his brothers might be there, too. We haven't seen them in ages and ages.
I'm Irish. :) I'd like to find a Hobbit that isn't. LOL. We have a few other "nations" in our blood, but mainly I'm Irish. Love it! And that's totally scary about the break in. This week we had an attempted abduction at the grade school my son is supposed to start Kindergarten in next year. FREAKY! I was already having palpitations about letting my baby go to school, and now I'm about to have an aneurysm. I hope you can find a sitter for the Hunger Games. I hear it's really good, but I just am too hormonal/emotional to think of children starving. I can't read it for the same reason I stopped watching the news. ;)
ReplyDeleteHahaha. I'm the same with my hair. I like it simple and easy to deal with. No fuss! I laughed when you mentioned going from a center part to a side part. That was my big switch two years ago too :)
ReplyDeleteSO exited to see the Hunger Games! I haven't read the last two books though. The wait list at the library is almost 100 people long!
I need a new series to read and I keep hearing about the Hunger Games, so I think I need to give them a go. I get though books like you wouldn't believe.
