Second day on the new job. I’m not really overwhelmed, but I feel like the outsider. Just need to learn office dynamics and all. I get along well with others, but each group is different. So, I know I can do the job, it’s the people I have to figure out.
I ordered a new keyboard for my work computer today. I am looking forward to that. Sad, I know, but whatever gets me through the day.
I have decided to get my hair chopped off. I’m going short-short again. It’s below my chin now, not yet to my shoulders. It’s the longest it’s been in probably 12-13 years. I am thinking of doing it the day of the wedding. Is that a recipe for disaster? I want it to be a surprise, and boy, would that be a surprise. I have already warned E about it. I have the same stylist, so she knows how to cut my hair. I’m sure I will want it short for the honeymoon. I do not want to spent one extra moment doing my hair when I could be out exploring Italy. So there.
But I am finally understanding why some people have such a hard time getting their hair cut. It’s not the hair (it always grows back), but the time investment is a big thing. It can take months or years to grow and grow and grow and in 5 minutes it’s all gone. So, when I’m watching a makeover show and the girl is freaking out about cutting her hair, I MIGHT give her a break. Maybe.
I am going to meet (finally!) one of E’s best friends tonight. He is in town for work and we’re taking him out for dinner and drinks. I’m bummed I won’t get to meet his wife too, but they are coming to the wedding so I’ll meet her then.
E and I had our last session with the couple from the church last night. Before marriage, our church requires engaged couples to go through sessions with a couple from the church. We watch videos with them, and then the two of us go through some questions. The videos cover topics like families (in-laws), financial issues, having children, etc. It’s designed to get couples talking and make sure both parties are on the same page about the big issues. Which we are.
Send pictures of cute short hairstyles.
It must really suck to have paid so much for such a nice car only to have the turn signals not work. You should really take it in and get it fixed. You know, if only for courtesy to, and safety of, the other drivers on the road.
It’s OK…
…to spend less on the invitations and dress in favor of the big sparkly ring you’ll be wearing on your finger.
…to spend less on the decorations (what decorations?) and flowers in favor of going to Italy on a honeymoon.
…to not want to tell certain busybodies everything about the wedding. Enjoy the surprise already. Yeesh.
…to get married on a Monday.
…to procrastinate. A little.
…to not have bridesmaids or groomsmen.
…to be really excited about getting it all over with to begin the rest of your life married to the man you love more than anything in the world. Yes, even more than chocolate.
…it’s ok to not give up chocolate to prove your love.
Don’t ask for my zip code and get all pissy when I ask, Why? I said, No thanks (note the THANKS). I don’t care if “they’re” doing a survey. You told the lady in front of me to have a nice day. It’s probably better that you didn’t tell me to have a nice day. I would have known you didn’t mean it, and I would have replied, You’re not the boss of me. And meant it.
Dear Arms,
I think you’re awesome. Everyone should buy tickets to THIS gun show.
Love,
M.
