New-Old Haircut

Happy Wednesday. It's better than a Hawks Day, even a winning Hawks Day.

I got my hair cut today, a $50 gift from Mom for the birthday. Michael did a great job, as usual. I'm back to the bob- shiny, sleek perfection. It funny what an hour at a salon does. I walked out feeling brand new. It was the icing on yesterday's cake.

To back up a little, I am now driving the minivan belonging to Annika while she's in Portland/Tacoma/Seattle for the holidays. It's so nice to be able to get around! I've missed my music and my alone time. I'm also working at Rembrandt's over the holidays. Chattanooga's favorite barista will be back in action tomorrow! Megan moved to Atlanta on Monday so we loaded the minivan with about 7 tubs of clothes, an ironing board, a bathroom cabinet, etc. and headed down to Georgia. I got back yesterday and stayed the night with Jody.

So yesterday's cake...
Last night I watched To Kill a Mockingbird. I loved the book so I wasn't sure how I would feel about the movie, but the man who played Atticus Finch was dreamy, and everything played out exactly as I had pictured. It was fun to watch an old movie on the couch.

I also got to talk with Mama Sanger for quite a while, which absolutely made my night. I adore her, and I feel more than blessed to have her in my life. After we got off the phone, all of the anxiety that I had been feeling about this-that-and-the-other had been calmed and I was excited again about Washington. Not that I'm not always excited to some extent, but sometimes it gets lost in the midst of other things.

Then, I got to reconnect with Johnathan since he's been back in Seattle and I've been back in Tennessee. We've talked some, but last night we really got to catch up. If you had told me 5 years ago when I met him that I'd end up moving to Seattle and that we'd be hanging out/going on dates, I wouldn't have believed you. It's funny to think about us then working at Hollister, going to formals, and essentially me running away from him for no good reason, and now here I am, moving to Seattle where he lives. I remember when he used to talk about Washington, and I didn't listen at all. Now it's the place I'm making my home. When I get back he's taking me to Chateau Ste. Michelle and to a casino. What a combination, and what fun it will be.

I'm sleepy again. Must be the excitement and a little bit of being sick. Here's to the future and to a nap.
