new developments

so, the floor/mats for the dojo arrived today and the flooring for the bathroom/changing room as well.... the sheetrock should be sprayed out white tomorrow... and then we are pretty much down to details... this is good, very good...
i'm bummed because jeff will be out of town this weekend and so i am bringing in the new year sad and lonely, probably watching the giants and rooting for the raiders (sorry jason)... i have an exciting weekend planned of cleaning, picking up, laundry, unpacking, and cleaning (and vacuuming and dusting and sweeping and maybe even a little painting, and cleaning)... and maybe some cooking... i haven't made beef stew in a few months.. that is good comfort food and i can make a large pot and have it for a few days...
on an unrelated but equally as unimportant topic, i am loving my hair these days.... it is getting long and seems fuller and for whatever reason has waves in it now.... loving it!
just thought i'd also let everyone know that i am smart and well-liked, at least by the people who wrote my letters of recommendation for me to be a teacher someday... of course i didn't ask the people who think i am dumb and hated to write any of my letters.... that would have been silly.
i had a couple of days when i was feeling kinda down in the dumps, but i am so on my way back up... things are great and i have good hair... what else is there???? well? well?

and with a flip of her (great) hair she was gone....
