Ins-and-outs

blog

Lately, I’ve been using this space for a lot of personal processing, and just realized that I’ve neglected to update you on some of my actual goings-on. Yes, I am just that pompous to believe that the world is desperate to know about the ins-and-outs of my everyday life – so without further ado…

1) I cut off my hair: 10+ inches on the salon floor, leaving me feeling like a sassmuffin. My hair hasn’t been this short since 2008, and I’m ready to go even shorter next time.

2) It’s hard to tell what’s been the worst expenditure of the past week: head gasket repair, new clutch, 4 new tires, bill from the ER, or dental work. When it rains, it pours. And I cry.

3) If you want to believe in magic, watch “Searching for Sugar Man.” I haven’t been so captivated by a documentary in ages.

4) Today, I’m wearing a grandma shirt. No really, it used to be my grandma’s. It’s a red and black silk houndstooth print with a high neck and puffed long sleeves that cinch at the wrists. It’s the most old lady thing in the world, and I kind of love it.

5) Lissie’s cover of “You Can Go Your Own Way” is haunting and beautiful and completely transformative of the original. And I know what you’re thinking: you wonder if this means that I saw the movie “Safe Haven.” And the answer is NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS.

6) The things I am currently most looking forward to: eating here in March, volunteering with Habitat for Humanity next weekend, and Greta’s arrival tomorrow night. Praise be.

Wherever you are, I hope that it’s warmer than it is right now in Denver. Someone put me on a beach so fast.

    Sassmuffin is the best thing I’ve heard/read all week.

    I know too much about the rain pouring and the crying. We are struggling so hard right now to pay off old debts, and yet at every turn there are new expenses/repairs/crises. Sob! I am a life-long fan of Buckingham/Nicks and Fleetwood Mac. Beautiful cover! As for Nicholas Sparks, yeah, you’re on your own…I have enough tears without him ;-) Love you, lady…you are beautiful short or long, and always sassy!

    JJ and Lisa showed me the pic of you with sweet baby Jane. LOVE your hair–it was the first thing I noticed. Also, good to “see” you in that pic!
