proud to be on a winning team
Yesterday was a busy day. I went to school from 10-2 (with a Los Magotes Burrito break in the middle… yum!) and worked on getting my classroom unpacked and set up. My library is a mess (Raina?) and I don’t know where to put the ginormous rubber tree plant I inherited from the last occupant of the room. Oh well. I am getting excited for school to start, especially since this time I feel a bit more under control and like I know what I’m going (well, except when another teacher comes into my room and asks why the beautiful new place value chart I put on the wall says “trillions, billions, billionths, millionths, billions, millions,…” Oh well, you can’t win ‘em all).
After school, I went home to see my hubby and do my reading for small group. After accomplishing both goals, I met a friend at the hair salon and got a rather drastic haircut. Pictures to follow (it is the crucial day 2 after a haircut when you figure out how it actually looks, not how it looks when the stylist styles it). It was a bit of an act of faith to sit in the chair, however, since I couldn’t wear my glasses while she was cutting. I think it turned out okay, though.
Okay, so don’t hit “alt+u” while typing an entry because instead of underlining the title of a book, it will actually undo your whole paragraph. What I put up with for proper grammar.
After the haircuts, we ran errands and ate dinner at Joy Yee (which I highly recommend). Then we went to small group where we are reading (underline) Adventures in Missing the Point by Campolo and McLaren. Very thought-provoking.
And then I returned home to see my hubby. What had he been doing while I was gone? Working from home, putting away a bunch of wedding gifts in the kitchen, taking out the garbage, taking boxes to storage, putting the laundry away, and mopping the floors. What a way to say “I love you.” :)
Yup, I married a winner, too.
Glad to see that marrying a winner runs in the family!
Wow, Matt hasn’t done all those things combined in the two years we’ve been married!
Just kidding. I say this as I came home from class to the dishes done, trash taken out, and laundry washed, dried, and folded. Now he’s cutting up onion to use for dinner.
Can we both have winners?
I envy your courage! I thought about getting a drastic haircut and just couldn’t do it. Looking forward to the pictures (ahem soon).
yes, must see pics. yesterday I was thinking about cutting mine off to the length of my posst-surgical tuft. That may be a little too drastic. thoughts?
Do it, Miranda! This is possibly the only time in your life when you have a good reason to see what your head really looks like! I’d totally take the opportunity if I were you.
