Lamps and Haircuts and Coupon Books

By /

It was my birthday yesterday, and so we’re inside Birthday Week. (What? You don’t do Birthday Week? Well, I think you should.)

Husband got me lamps for our room. They’re lovely and perfect. He also gave me the necklace I bought for myself last month. I’m very excited to wear it in the near future.

I went and got a haircut. Kind of a drastic one. I decided it’s time to have a style again. It’s only been years, you know. So, style it is. Sort of this-ish, Sort of that-ish, sort of the other-ish.

I think it’s great. And lovely to have someone else cut my hair. Why don’t I always do that? I can’t tell you. Sorry. It’s just a thing, apparently. But you know, with an actual style, I sort of need to go in for actual haircuts every actual 6 weeks. Bonus.

 

So on another birthday note, I should tell you this: I love my little boy. He’s 8, and he’s cool (to other 8-year-olds) and hilarious (likewise) and adorable (to pretty much everyone). But this thing recently happened: He started growing out of holding my hand in public. I pretend not to care, and I tease him about it just enough to let him know that I notice (he’ll snuggle at home, and share my chair, and hug me all day long as long as nobody else is around). So for my birthday, he gave me a coupon book that he made (best gift ever, I love when my kids do this). And my very favorite coupon, among a whole lot of wonderfulness to choose from, is a coupon for “50 Free Hand-holds in Public.” I know. Totally lucky.

    I have been thinking about you all day and feeling so guilty I didn’t send birthday wishes your way. You are absolutely wonderful and I’m glad you are feeling stylish and loved. I love coupon books too – the best!

    I need to see pics of the haircut! And my boys break my heart in public and snuggle all over me at home too. Gotta love those boys. Happy Birthday!

    I bet your hair is adorable! My 14-yr old is a cuddler still in private, but sometimes acts like he doesn’t know me when we are out and about. Funny!
