8 1/2 Women

Three Cool Things About Yesterday:

1. Made home-made tomato and oyster mushroom soup. It came out very tasty!

2. Washed a shit load of dishes. They had been sitting in the sink all week, slowly turning into skyscrapers of dishes, mugs, utensils, pots and pans. I formed them into neat piles and dove in, not coming up for air until I could see the bottom of the sink, and my hands were properly charred.

3. Got some nice compliments about my hair from the gals at the All-Staff meeting. One chick told me she would cut hers like mine too if she had "any balls." I like the message: I have balls. Big brass ones! At one point my boss came over and complimented me, and then the office butch hottie, Gina--who was behind me and listening in--was murmuring agreement when she suddenly ran some fingers quickly against the hair on the back of my head. We all called in for the meeting right when that happened, so I didn't get to enjoy that sensation for very long. I quickly regressed into school-girl state, rushing to my coworker to share the exciting news. I was very much tempted to ask for a scalp massage when I was at the hair salon the other day. Such a marvelous sensation.
