*I LOVE that on my latest post on PSD everybody mentions my hair.  I realize it's mostly because of the goddess braid I did, but the truth is I FINALLY got my hair cut back to the way I LOVE it, and ended all the nasty stragglies that had been going on that kept the sleek look from happening. Love that I have it back! Must mention that when I reply with emails.

*Went to dinner with my nephs and niece tonight. After their wedding in June they took off to Alban*a and just got back a few weeks ago. This was the first time we've seen them, and I'll admit it I was apprehensive. But after a good talk with my bestie, KT, I was totally prepared to be gracious and do the right thing no matter what. And we had a FABULOUS night! The issues were still there, but you know what, my perspective was changed and I was able to see a lot clearer and not take anything personally or make it all about me. I had a fantastic time, as did Brando and the boys, and I can't wait to do it again.

*We've "tried" again twice. Once I was just ending my "time of the month", but then again tonight, three days after. It's a silly back and forth between Brando and I - I want one, no I don't, yes I do, no I don't. He doesn't think we're quite prepared, and I don't care if we're prepared - we weren't the first time, and we've always said if you "wait for the perfect time" it will never happen - it's never going to be the perfect time. A baby is a shitload of responsibility, but boy are they worth it.

*Babysat my neighbors' girl this morning. Boy, are girls different than boys. I can't count on two hands the amount of conversations her and I had - about sleepovers, the masquerade masque hanging in my bathroom, grooming the dog, etc. She followed me around like glue. We had a blast and it was so much fun being able to talk nonstop to another girl, even if she is five :) .

*Brando knew I was a little upset about going out this evening with friends and the kids, instead of a date, so before we went he put on the calendar and sent me an email reminder saying, "Date morning - Be happy."

*So antsy to go on another vacay (hmmm, that doesn't fit too well with the third star up ;) !
