A Fantastic Day

Today, dear readers (if I indeed have readers other than myself), has been a fantastic day.

Today I slept in and woke up in my husband's arms, surrounded by our cats. Our usual wake time is before 6:00, so we have been taking advantage of our break by sleeping in. Every morning has felt like a Saturday. It is glorious.

Today, I finally got my hair cut. It has been a long time coming, and had recently driven me to the point of distraction, so I told the stylist to do as she pleased, so long as it was darker and shorter than when I arrived. She did, and I am very pleased with the results. It is a shade or two darker than my natural color and has caramel highlights, and it is now above my shoulders. I feel much more like an adult and less than a scraggly teenager now, so it was well worth the time and money.

Today I met with my first college roommate, Amber, and had coffee and got to hold her new baby girl. We haven't seen each other in a number of years, but through the miracle that is Facebook we were able to reconnect. And I had such a lovely time. Much like when we were in college, we just have an understanding, or much common ground, a common experience and perspective. So many times she would say something and I was like, hello, feel the same way. I wish she didn't live so far away, but I am hopeful we'll do much better at keeping in touch than we have in the past. Perhaps it will give Josh & I an excuse to roadtrip :)

Today I came home from my coffee catching up and made sausage and wild rice chowder, which was delicious, and then watched Kung Fu Panda with my husband, which we saw earlier this summer. It was as funny as I remembered, an enjoyable way to pass the evening. I am currently watching Josh try out one of his new games, and I can't think of a better way to end my perfectly wonderful day.
