I had a really good day yesterday.

Work was fine, if a little boring near the end of the day with nothing much to do. Bossy Man PROMISED that we would do a vocational assessment report yesterday and "we are going to concentrate most of the day on THAT."

Did I get the info I needed to do this report?

Nope.

I did not hear a single word about it.

I DID talk to Bossy Man yesterday. Maybe twice all day long.

That was pleasant in itself.

I got the reports done that I could. I got the daily entries in. I got the letters finished that I had sitting here.

I mailed all these things.

And I paid some of my personal bills.

And I sent out two cards to relatives. One for a birthday and one for a graduation.

And I left early for my hair appointment.

I still was not quite SURE how short I wanted to go. My hair has been taking over my life for the last few months and it was time to let some of it go.

So, I went in. Sat down with Nicole. Indicated how much I was gone and she cut it all off for me.

Six inches of dried, overprocessed, split ended hair.

Gone.

I had almost instant regret.

but this morning?

I'm loving it.

After the appointment, I went home and tried to lay down for a bit. I was pretty tired. It was a LONG day, mainly because I was looking for things to do.

I hate that.

I did lay down, but could not quite relax enough to fall asleep.

I got a call from Sam. She asked me to pick up Charles from work on my way home.

So, I did that.

Okay. Little pet peeve here. I have picked up Charles before from work and brought him home.

Does he EVER say thank you?

Nope. Not a single word about appreciation for going out of my way and waiting for his skinny little ass to get out of Walmart where he works.

Whatever.

Got to Sam's at 8:00 because that's the time I usually go there so I have a few minutes with Ms. Alex before bedtime.

Well, Ms. Alex was not there, she was with her Aunt Tina, who was supposed to be back hours ago, but was too busy spoiling her rotten to bring her back on time.

So, I waited. Sam did not want to leave without getting Alex ready for bed, (because for some reason her FATHER can't do this), so I waited.

And Waited.

Finally, Tina showed up after 9:00. Then, of course, Tina wanted to take a shower before we went out, so that was another half hour. Then Sam was not quite ready.

So, we rolled out of the house a whole two hours after I arrived for our evening out.

By then, I was tired and ready to go home and call it a night.

But I really needed a night out. I had gotten another icky email from Jim yesterday and was feeling like I wanted to have some FUN and just relax for a bit with friends.

So, out we went. And I am so glad I did. I had a BLAST!!!

I didn't sing at all last night, but I enjoyed everyone else. The bar was packed and Johnny actually let me touch his head.

hee hee hee

Johnny is the bartender and he is SOOO picky about people touching his head for some reason. So, when we saw that he had gotten his hair cut, too, I asked if I could touch it (thinking that he would pull away and yell NOOOO), but he said as long as I had asked so nicely, he allowed me to do so. I felt so privileged and even thought that I could buy some pulltabs with that hand just because SURELY touching his head must mean some sort of good luck, right?

But I didn't. Pulltabs is Dave's thing and Dave was not there.

Anyway, I NEVER EVER stay out past 11:00 on a Wednesday night. Because, well, I have to get up at 5:30 in the morning.

But I was having so much fun that I stayed out later and am paying for it now. I'm a bit tired and my eyes are fuzzy from the contacts being in too long yesterday.

But it was all good.

And I really needed it.

I have no plans for tonight, except to get the stuff I need to make my famous baked beans tonight for the get together tomorrow. And doing some laundry since I am out of clean jeans that I like to wear.

Okay, I DO have clean jeans in my dresser, but not my FAVORITE ones. You know. The ones that make you feel good and feel like you actually look attractive?

Yeah, those ones.

So, into the laundry they will go.

Well, seeing as how I have a LONG weekend and today is my FRIDAY, Bossy Man is going to be a BEAR and I better wrap this up.

Have a happy and safe Fourth of July everyone!!!!
