I always want to come up with catchy titles but my brain isn’t very creative this late at night.

Tomorrow night is Jim’s formal.  I’m happy to be going out but not exactly thrilled with the idea of a formal.  Still, it will be nice to spend time with the people he’s lived with for the last four months.  I decided on dress #2.  I really liked #1 but I didn’t like the way it made my arms look.  I have my jewelry for #2 but I need to get shoes & hose tomorrow.  Nothing like waiting until the last minute.  LOL I just want a basic pair of black pumps…that can’t be too hard can it?!  Famous last words.

I booked an appointment at a salon to have my hair done.  I don’t want any big up-do or anything, just a basic styling by someone who has more patience to do it than I have.  The salon called today to cancel on me.  Lovely.  The stylist is out and they (quite rudely) said they didn’t have anyone else to do it.  I will NOT be going back there.   So now I need to call around tomorrow and see if I can find someone.  I don’t have the patience or the skill to do much with my hair.  And I’d like to have it styled at least a bit since I’m getting all dolled up.

I have spent most of the day deep cleaning.  I got behind over the last two weeks.  Nothing big but lots of little things slipped by.  I am exhausted now.  But it feels so good to have a (mostly) orderly home.

Tomorrow I’m switching our scents out.  Out with the old (pine, etc.) and in with the new (clean cotton, summer holiday, citrus).  I usually don’t do that until February or March but I’m not usually wearing short sleeves in January either.  LOL  I’m ready for spring!!

I’m a little worried about E tomorrow night.  Jim’s parents are going to watch her while we’re out.  This will be the longest I have been away from her since last spring.  And bedtime….it is going pretty smoothly lately but she hasn’t gone to sleep w/o me since the summer and she’s never gone to bed at night w/o Jim or myself.  I know she’ll be fine but I’m a worrier.  As jim said, “the worst that can happen is that she’s still up when we get home (11ish) and that’s not much later than when she goes down some nights (9:30-10).”  True enough.  But he’s not the mama!!

Thursday is Jim’s graduation.  Yea!  I’m looking forward to getting to pin his rank on him.  And the great pay raise. LOL
