Okay, here it is, the picture of my new haircut. Ya’ll promise you won’t laugh? Ya’ll are sure now right? No laughing! Keep in mind it was precisely 6am when that picture was taken so my ass was dressed and make-uped but still half asleep. 🙂

That was my first attempt at styling short hair. It looks okay but I think with some practice I’ll get better at it. Only thing I don’t really like about the cut is what she did with the bangs. They’re kind of bleh so I decided to brush them to the sides. I also realized gelling my hair before putting my foundation and powder on was a stupid idea. My hair looks better today than it did when I left the salon yesterday, she poofed it all up before I left and I swear my head looked four inches taller than it should. I don’t really like my hair to “poof”. I miss a few little things about my longer hair, but we’ll see how this goes. 🙂

Anyway, this morning I was going back into the bathroom to find some lipstick. I felt something light and sticky hit my arm as I walked past a beam in the hallway. It felt like a spider web, but I brushed it away thinking it was probably a stray hair. I went into the bathroom, found and applied some lipstick then turned to put it away. When I turned I felt a tickle on my hand which I shook a little thinking it was another stray hair but when I looked again there was a spider on my hand!! ACK! I did what any sane person would do, I yelped and shook my hand. The spider hit the floor just as hubby was turning around from the sink to see what the hell was wrong with me. I pointed at the hideous creature and said it had been on my hand. Hubby promptly smushed it with the heel of his foot. I think I did pick up a spider web in the hallway and I think the spider ended up on my pants, then when I dropped my hand to my side he crawled onto my hand, by my thumb, where I found him. ICK! I hate spiders! He wasn’t huge though, a little bigger than the eraser on the end of a pencil if you include legs.

Sophie is suddenly being a really attentive mommy. She’s hardly left their side since 8pm last night. She did crawl up on me this morning on the bed for some lovin but then she ate some food and went back to the babies. She followed us downstairs for a few minutes but didn’t stay long. Hopefully she’ll keep this up. I wonder if she understands that not too much longer they’ll be grown up enough to be on their own more. After they’re doing well on solid foods I’m actually going to be locking them up in the upstairs bathroom with a little cat tower and lots of toys. That will give Sophie a break and get them used to not having her around. I’ll probably lock them up while we’re at work and at night while we’re asleep until they’re fully weaned. After they’re weaned they’ll get the run of the house most of time, they need to be used to the hustle and bustle of a normal household before they go to new homes. It’s great that we have Sara so they should even be used to dogs.

*sigh* I don’t have a damned thing to do today. Story of my life. My boss is out of town AGAIN too. She was gone all last week too at meetings. This week she’s at our Philadelphia branch until Wednesday, then she’s going on vacation.

Heyyyyy, I just noticed I have a little splinter in my hand. I should probably see about getting that out.

Got it! 🙂

I’m the only person from my group here all week which sucks hardcore. My co-worker is on vacation. What this means is that even though I have precisely jack to do I need to be here as much as possible. I might sneak out on Friday and at lunch on any slow days, really, I can do just about everything I do here at home. Only thing I can’t do is scan forms. I have remote access to my work computer and everything so pfffft.

Anyway, before I bore the hell out of everyone I’m going to go find something else to do. 🙂
