Sleeping In

The good thing about having a small apartment, is it doesn't take long to clean. I can have the kitchen and bathroom spotless in a little over an hour. Last night I had planned to wake up early, clean the apartment and surprise Matthew with breakfast. But my alarm went off and I thought, Oh, ten more minutes. And that turned into three hours.

The morning was nearly gone when I regained consciousness, but I decided to cuddle in bed another half an hour. The bedroom was just so peaceful, it hadn't seen the sun in days, and I thought 'Why get out of bed when there's really nothing to do?' I know things won't be this laid back forever, and I just wanted to enjoy it.

But there was plenty to do, and now my morning was gone. I rushed around the apartment scrubbing the tub and polishing the mirror. Once Matt got up I drug him out to go run errands with me. The first stop on our agenda was to get our hair cut. We like to go to the beauty school in an attempt to help out someone else and be thrifty. They usually do a good job but all the students there are a little quirky.

Take today for instance. This girl was so nervous it took her fourty five minutes just to cut my hair! She would make one snip, and then comb the strand three or twelve times. I think she moved the clips around in my hair more than she actually cut it.

It turned out okay. I'm trying to grow it out so I just got a trim. But I just giggle every time I think about it. Fourty five minutes! Poor girl.

It was late afternoon by the time we got home from the grocery store. I made stir fry for dinner because it's fun and easy. Tonight we went to see the new 007 movie. I'm not much of a Bond fan but I really like that older lady that scolds him and bosses everyone around. She's the real love of his life. All the women Bond gets and he will never love them more than her.

So it's been a day. I'm gonna go take a bath.
