Things are looking up

Yes, they are. This has been the best week in weeks. Perhaps due to the absense of some children (hooray for flu season!) or perhaps just because these things happen in waves. I hesitated to comment here in case.

I haven't gotten a postcard in ages.

I'm considering having Magic Straight-uh done to my hair. What is that, you ask? A chemical process that makes even the curliest tresses broom-stick straight for approximately three months.

Pros: hair I can blowdry in the morning and avoid leaving the house with wet hair, the chance to see what straight hair feels like, looking instead of like the girl next door, the GIRL next door (as quoted by my eighth grade classmate)

Cons: mucho dinero, my curly hair gets me compliments and telephone numbers (that I never use), uncertainty about its potential to damage permanently. Plus, why haven't they brought this magic to North America if it's so amazing?

Decisions, decisions.
