haircut day

sometimes life just isn't fair.

like the time i closed my explorer browser (which i had been using to override the "chrome nanny" site blocker that blocks us out of facebook, pinterest, etc after 30 minutes each day which is good for us so long as we don't override with explorer or other devices... : ) and somehow ACCIDENTALLY closed my chrome browser as well!!!!!!!!!  all who-knows-how-many-or-which tabs!!!  i'm sure when will finds out he'll tell me (or think : ) serves me right, because it always bothers him that i have so many tabs open at once.  but, really, i need them!!!  please tell me there's someone else out there that really feels the need to keep tabs open!  it's so i am reminded of things - ideas for school, recipes, things to show will, etc.  it doesn't matter that i have pinterest to save and organize, or many files of downloaded documents of school ideas, or can print recipes and put them in the binder, or email myself links, or goodness sakes: MAKE A BOOKMARK!!!!!!!!!!!  will is always reminding me that i can make bookmarks.  he gave me tutorial once, and to my credit, i did bookmark something and put it in the category of "to show will", but i think that only happened once.  he comes home from work and asks me if he can close all my tabs.... haha.  well, seriously, there's a reason i left it open!  so i am forced to quickly prioritize so i can tell him some he can close.  that in itself is a fantastic exercise for the girl whose indecisiveness is borderline handicapping.  so that's that.  to be honest i had already gone through and closed ones i really didn't need anymore.  the ones still up were there for a reason!  this time it was school... but i think i remember how to get back to those things.  but the thing i have to be ok with is that i'm not going to remember the others and my life is still going to go on.  i hope.

anyway.  happy belated christopher columbus day to all you bigtime fans of the nina, pinta, and the santa maria!  by now you've probably all hummed a few bars of my chris columbus song to yourselves.  right? : )  we celebrated yesterday by both having a day off.  it was one of my typical mondays off.  will was forced to use his day-after-Easter holiday yesterday because of the government shutdown. : /  the lab contracts for the government, and the lab (like the rest of us) doesn't have endless funds, so they've dipped into just about all they can until the budget is resolved for the next fiscal year.  today he went to do "training" stuff, and can again tomorrow, but he can't do any real work because of the account the money is from.  if it goes beyond that he'll be forced to take a couple more holidays.  so as lame and unfair as that is, we really enjoyed having a day off together!  our celebrations included sleeping in, and BOTH of us getting haircuts!!  do we get some kind of award for that?  i mean really, when was the last time 100% of your family got haircuts on the same day?  i cut will's out on the back porch.  it was perfect timing for our neighbors to walk by on the crest/side of the irrigation ditch.  he didn't want to cut mine, so i went to a place.  ok, i didn't ask this time, but he hasn't wanted to in the past.  i just got a trim.  i was delighted that she understood my hopes, dreams, and aspirations for my hair and really gave me a good trim.  if you're one that is having a hard time understanding how a hair trim can result in such happy feelings, just know that you win some and you lose some, and yesterday i won!!!  other highlights, in case you need ideas for yourself for next year, were making crockpot lasagna and putting out halloween decorations (finally!).  oh!  and we made ganache because we needed to use up some cream... : )  what was the ganache for?  our fingers.  and graham crackers.  and whatever else we want.  because we can.

well my friends, i guess this has been another exciting look into our lives!  what's that?  you want the real dish?  ok, fine, i'll tell you.  today was the second day i didn't wash my hair, and i'm thinking of going a third tomorrow!  i proceeded with my plan today thinking i wasn't going anywhere or seeing anyone.  well then i played taxi for some kids in the ward after school... oh well : )  (i know some of you have done the math to determine i went with "dirty" hair for my trim yesterday... i know who you are : )

stay cool. H.A.N.S. (have a nice summer!! xoxo heart heart heart!! english with you was the best!!!!!)

ok, obviously it's time to go fold laundry : )
