Of Hair and Other Matters

Soda water, eh? Who are you and what have you done with my friend?!

But really, it sounds like you're stepping wisely. Small communities sometimes like to eat people. And I don't want you to be eaten! And if the cute factor is not so much? Meh. You gonna have bigger fish to fry... in S-town!!!

How did things go at the wine store? You're a shoe-in for that job. Wine acumen, new good haircut, and accent? Cha-ching! I hope it went well. :)

I'm feeling the need for haircut soon too. It's almost time. My hair is so long and nappy. I think I am going to go short-short. But I'm plagued by fears of my head looking too big. But I should just take the plunge and cut the shit off. I'm terrified of everything these days. It's really boring.

But I have started cleaning out my room -- finally! Remember I said that was part of the reason I was moving home? Well, as my aunt arrives to stay with us in a matter of days, the urgency for me to clean things up for her arrival is more pressing. So I've adopted this 6-box system I found on a holistic healing web site. Apparently if I clear away my clutter, I'll make room for newer, gooder things!

So far, things are going well. I didn't feel one twinge of pain when I threw out my atm receipts from 1998. Old beat-up slipper? See ya! And that nail file I never used? Gone and already forgotten. I can feel the new me already! :D

Ok, so the pack-rat tendencies are harder to shake than I thought.

I did pause to look over an old cell phone statement from April 2002, a few months after we met again, I think. There's a whole lotta phone calls on the weekend, usually starting Saturday morning after 4am and ending Sunday night with a call to a cab company. Imagine that!

But I'm blabbering on... I'm sorry you got hit with far-away sadness. It sucks. I'm glad you feel better now, though. You took many brave steps to travel a great distance. Don't be too hard on yourself for not 'accomplishing' things quickly, 'cause you've accomplished a good many of them leading up to this point. A little lull seems ok to me! But now I'm preaching. And you've already pulled up your socks. yeesh. way to go, me.

So I end here. I love you and hope to hear from you again soon. I'm digging this blog thing!

xoxo,

me.
