We're Playing Soccer This Fall...

-
So it's time to buy a minivan and get my hair cut, right?

Here it is. I figured, what the heck? I can always grow it out again. It's been good so far, it's pretty nice to have my hair finished in five minutes flat! The last time it was this short, I hooked my dream man (yes, that was Hans). And Hans finally, grudgingly told me that I could get it cut short again. His vision of having a Rachel with long, flowing hair just will never come to pass. He unfortunately married a woman incapable of growing or maintaining long hair. Sorry, Kit.



Incidentally, Josiah will be playing soccer this fall, so I will officially be joining the ranks of soccer moms!

PS: Dear President Bush: No need to open offshore oil drilling. Please just give me a call. I have plenty to spare, especially during the humid summer months. Yours sincerely, MamaD4.

Your new hair-do is cute! It's nice not to have to fuss.

I'll be curious to hear how Josiah likes playing soccer. He sure is growing up fast!

Your Mom and I agree that the short hair looks good on you. About the only hairdo I can't see you in is a buzzcut, although I have seen some women that do look good in real short hair. I don't know about you and soccer knowing how excited you used to get over MSU hockey. The mini-van is a usful vehicle that is a stage that parents go through, there will be hot cars in the future.

I like the new haircut! I can see you in the new VW minivan that is coming out.

You probably could wear a buzz cut just fine too. It looks great short...less to pull out too!

It's adorable! I love it and now want to go get mine cut too. I would hate for us to have non-nearly-identical haircuts for any period of time.
I've sent the same letter to GW. Between the two of us, we should be good to power the world.

Bwahahahaha!

Wouldn't it be great!?

On a serious note, I have read in several different places that women with oily skin tend to wrinkle less, so maybe it's not ALL bad!

Sunday

Moody, cloudy Sunday morning in bed with coffee and a new book.  Wrapped up reading a book that could have been so much better, had the characters had a little more...character.  It was a skimmer, for sure.  As I've gotten older, I have given up the notion that all books were meant to be read start to finish.  I've waded in as much as a couple hundred pages before letting go and putting one down.  There are too many books and too little time to waste on a book that doesn't keep my attention. If the rain holds off, I'm looking forward to hooking up this cleaner spray to my hose and spraying my windows and siding.  I know, I know...life is so exciting, right?!  Have I described where I live, the pipestem?  That is the Virginia vernacular term for a little offshoot lane that branches from the main road, upon which are a few homes--in our neighborhood, probably 4-6 houses on each pipestem.  We have four.  Next to us is Car Hoarder Neighbo...

Cherry Blossom, Part II

Tired of cherry blossoms yet?  Oh good, because here are a few more:     These are from just a few hours ago...the cherry blossom or sakura, is truly ephemeral.  The blossoms appear almost overnight and won't last more than a few days, depending on weather.  It's important to get out and appreciate them while you can.  The Japanese actually have a term, hanami, for the "sport" of viewing sakura and there are many, many places in Japan where people flock to see sakura in breathtaking settings.   I'll settle for CFAY, since I'm still single parenting and the Japanese school children are on spring holiday, so the crush would be intense anywhere we would go.  If you saw my last post, you know I had to bribe the kids with ice cream for a two hour trip down to Miurakaigan to view the blossoms a couple of weekends ago.   It's been a busy couple of weeks.  I had a new class start up, just the other half o...

This is 45

-
I think I need to get into it a little more to really FEEL it, but this is 45.  Middle of the road?  Maybe.  Both of my grandmothers made it past 90, so we shall see. All of the most important people in my life wished me a happy birthday today, including the adorable people who made me and brought me into this world.  It is my habit now to thank THEM for my birthday, because let's be honest, if that man didn't love that woman, I wouldn't be here,  right now.  Thanks, guys...totally, 100% serious. The Captain was out of town for my birthday weekend, he got back at supper tonight, unerringly arriving just in time to sit down and eat.  It's really OK.  I started out my weekend on Friday at my favorite shopping joint, then returned home, changed into sweatpants and settled in for some trash TV watching (in this case, the completely stupid "90 Day Fiancee" (don't get into it, it's like watching a car wreck that you could see coming miles away))....
