Good Hair, Good Day

Hey, Amanda.

My weekend ended on a quiet note...Yesterday afternoon, after a quick trip to L&T and TJs, I got a migraine the minute I walked in the door (I know, I need to see a doctor about this). I took it as my sign to stay in and play vampire the rest of the day, and I did just that. This morning I woke up feeling great AND I had a good hair day, so life is good.

I had to meet with some students after school, then I had my nails and eyebrows done (talk about tearing down the rainforest!), and after that I made a $25 stop at the Dollar Store (yeah, I know). Eventually I came home to make chicken piccata for dinner, which came out great. Funny, but it was my first time making it at home, which really is absurd since it's so easy and I love it so much. Since then I've been texting and cook book browsing and watching TV and sipping my new favorite cocktail: sweet tea vodka with Arizona green tea with ginseng and honey. I figure the green tea cancels any deleterious effects of the vodka...or something like that. Ha! I've had sweet tea vodka out in a restaurant with lemonade, but that was a little tart for me, so I asked for the next one with half lemonade and half unsweetened iced tea and it rocked. At home it's just easier to do Arizona iced tea--and it is just as good. Anyway...

I have a busy week this week--and next, actually-- at school, but February vacation is only two weeks away. (God forbid we get a snow day between now and then!) Socially, I'm going out with C on Thursday and thinking of going to L's Friday night to see S play basketball and hang out with S and C on Saturday. I'm jonesing to see W and we could probably make it work this weekend, but I haven't seen M play basketball yet this season and she’s really on a roll—scored 15 or her team’s 20 points last Friday. I'll let you know what I/we decide.

Thanks for checking in last night...sounds like you had a good weekend overall. Hope your week is off to a good start.

Love,
Barb
