Freudian psyche


Superego - "I think your diet needs a little improvement."
Id - "What do you mean? Thin Mints and Wheat Thins are perfectly acceptable meals."
Ego - "Eat a carrot, please."

I'm afraid the id is winning...

Love notes

I adore getting love notes.


So thanks, Kelly.
I'm going to miss your face.
You're gonna rock Houston off it's socks!

Announcing my Accomplishments (and how cool my sister is!)

"I long to accomplish a great and noble task, but it is my chief duty to
accomplish small tasks as if they were great and noble."
Helen Keller


A conversation with Regina regarding the monetary value
of a certain niece's recent accomplishment led to the following...
Regina said, "Announcement equals money. No announcement. No money."
"So if I send you an announcement, you'll send me money?"
Her response was a general affirmative with a specific about acquiring brown babies...
but that's another story.
So later that week I sent her a little note.

ANNOUNCING

My New Hair Cut!!
5-24-2012


Good to her word... this week I received a card in the mail.

Congrats!
... on your lofty accomplishment!

Hilarious! And thanks for the extra spending money!

But yes...
I cut my hair.
About 19 inches of it, in fact.
I have two 17" braids to donate to Locks of Love
and one sassy cute new do.

So there you go...
and thanks Gina, for being an awesome sister.
You didn't have to send me cash for that to be true, though.



More pics...

Staycation

WCPSS said I had to take the week off. So I did. I had a plenty to do around the house and it was going to be magical. So here's my list of what I did this week. Though I think some items on my list must have been written in code... (but don't worry, I deciphered it!)

Mending
NCSPA contracts
NCSPA newsletter
Kelley lessons (read a book)
Anna lesson
DKG Meeting
Curves 1/2/3/4

All in all... a fairly productive week, I'd say. I mean, I didn't even go to the pool (though that's mainly cause it had weird hours this week as they build a shade structure). Talk about dedication to responsibility!

Now... back on your head!
