Windy Thursday

Today was a pretty blah day. Work wasn't busy, but I did get my hair colored! Dark chocolate mocha, with red red hightlights up front and some peek-a-boo blonde on the sides and back. (Seems quite a bit like Michele's hair... hmm...) I got to drive home with all the goop and foils in my head and had the pleasure of rinsing it all out in the kitchen sink. I couldn't help but wonder what the people in the cars around me were thinking. Keith's first comment about my hair was this - "Is that a wig?" - LOL!!! Randy didn't care for it too much, but it'll grow on him. Jeff's only concern was whether or not I'd look skunky. Apparently it was a little dark when he first saw me, so he didn't notice the blonde, but when he saw that, it was definite skunkiness. He did say it looked nice though.

I got a call from Jeff this morning, telling me that we lost the Suns tickets for tonight's game. The guy that we were getting them from forgot to pull them off the ticket exchange on line - and he sold them. Oh well - at least we still get to go next Friday (and we saved a bunch of dinero). I like going to the games, but I will definitely be more comfortable watching the game from the soft, kitty filled couch and having my blankets to keep me warm.

It was so windy today!!! And we even had about five drops of rain. I had to bring the boys' tent and whole set up inside. Now the loft has been taken over by the tent. I think it will stay there for a while. It's kind of a pain the butt to move around without disassembling.

I've been wondering... how old should my child be to be allowed to go the park on his own? Well, we tried it yesterday. Randy will be 8 in December. There are kids younger than him outside on their own, with no parents in sight, but I worry. Yesterday I let Randy ride his bike to the park. He had to come right back and tell me whether or not there were any kids there. He did - he came right back and told me that there were kids there and that he wanted to go back and play. I let him go!! Aaaaahhhhhh!!! Don't worry, nothing happened. Keith and I walked to the park a little later and everything was fine. We didn't get to try it today because of tutoring and homework and wind. I'm sure he'll want to go tomorrow!

I checked our lottery numbers today. Three quick picks - Powerball, Pick and Pick 5 -- surprisingly, we got two matching numbers on two of them and three matching numbers on the Pick -- now why couldn't all those numbers be on one ticket?? At any rate, I won 3 whole dollars -- don't be jealous, I'll only be wasting those three dollars on three more lottery tickets. You never know, some darn people are lucky enough to win twice!!! Maybe it will be me once!

I will be ordering our wonderful, delicious Thanksgiving dinner from Cracker Barrel tomorrow. Can you believe Thanksgiving is only a week away? Where does the time go? It keeps slipping through my fingers! 39 days until Christmas!!!
