June whatever day it is 2009

Not really much to blog about lately. John made it home from Mississippi. Ideally he was supposed to get home the day after my birthday but the airport gods decided to crap all over him and bump him off his flight. So he ended up stuck in Houston, a matter of hours away from his family in east Texas-overnight. And didn't even get to see his family. That was a long 11 days. After the incident the day he left, I was so paranoid. So much so that I made Chance sleep in the bedroom with me and I locked the bedroom door and slept with the TV on.

Didn't do much for my birthday really. John sent flowers, I got my eyebrows waxed, took Chance to karate that day and then he and I went to see Night At the Museum 2. Cute movie. Then on Saturday, John brought home an ice cream cake and a Happy Birthday Build A Bear for me and on Sunday we went to Pho Tre Bien in town. I was a little skeptical since no Vietnamese food can ever live up to my standards of Saigon in Greensboro but I was pleasantly surprised. My dish was okay. the fried rice was not my definition of "fried" but it was good. John got this beef and chicken dish and the beef was to die for. Chance got chicken and shrimp vermicelli and it was pretty good. John seemed to like it, so I think we'll be going back in the future. Plus they had a little garden seating area. It was inside but kind of like eating in a greenhouse. They had pretty fountains, and streams, fish and turtles. So you can imagine this went over very well with Chance. Kept him occupied so John and I could enjoy dinner without him whining all the way through it for one reason or another. Then no day out in town is complete without a trip to Barnes and Noble. I did pretty well though I thought. I only bought two books. And reserved three lol. Monday I decided it was way past time for a haircut. So I called up a place that someone had recommended to me (they had a website, so the photos helped my decision to go there). They fit me in that afternoon and I got a pretty decent amount of hair cut off (my definition of alot and most peoples definition of alot are two very different things, so keep this in mind when I say "alot"). It's still "long" but when I told the girl how much I wanted taken off she said "No, you don't want that much taken off, so I'm leaving it long." Lol, okay then. But yeah, had I went that short (to the bra clasp) I probably would have been pissed about it later. I am very happy with the job she did. It is so much lighter! (in color and weight) So I guess that was a birthday gift to myself sort of. Along with the new phone. The jury is still out on if this phone is a keeper or not. We tend to be at odds with one another but I think it's b/c the little shit is smarter than I am. I mean they don't call them "smart phones" for the heck of it you know? They really mean it!

Anyways, I don't really know what else. Time to go start a new book.
