Give me some good beer, conversation, friends, and music and there is little that will bother me. I try to treat others as I wish to be treated and when I don't, I like to think I learn from my mistakes. I believe most people are trustworthy until proven otherwise. I'm a conversational snob. I have little tolerance for stupidity or rudeness. Common courtesy is one of the best traits one can have. I believe there is conversation that is inappropriate for the dinner table. I love running into people I used to know, but am always happier if I look cute when it happens. I think there would be much less ruckus in the world if brunch were a daily offering.

Hairapy

I always look forward to getting my hair done. My lady Marlene is a riot.  She and I always have a great time. Somehow she remembers everything that has been going on even though we only see each other once every three months or so.

She managed to surprise me today though. I sat down, she put my cape on (I realize I am 12 because I always hear in my head "dun dun dun dun!") And grabbed my left hand. She seemed surprised to only see my Claddaugh and no diamond. She was even more surprised when I got a tear in my eye and said we broke up Tuesday. I had to ask why she was so sure I was engaged. Her reply made me happy and sad at the same time. She said I have a glow about me today. Happy because it's good to know I am doing weel and am less stressed. Sad because it makes me wonder how long I've been unhappy and projecting that through my demeanor. Maybe that's why I've been getting more looks lately. I just figured I'm noticing them now because I'm not taken.

Interesting what you see when you let yourself open your eyes and look around.

    Thought I'd let you know that there is a book called Get some Hairapy - a hairdresser's prescription for happiness. Your hairdresser would love a copy for Hairdresser's Appreciation day on April 28 (and you might just enjoy it yourself!). Available at your favorite bookstore.
