Things I am happy about on October 3, 2008

1. I got my haircut and coloured yesterday and it looks AMAZING. The black is gone, the brown is gone and even the white is gone. Once again my hair is red. April, my new hair angel, even gave me an amazing haircut. She sliced long layers into my long hair and added body and movement and even upped my sexy. He-weasel was unable to resist my sexy powers when he saw me. It is amazing what a side swept bang can do for a girls self-esteem. Thanks O2BFrench for the recommendation!

2. I have an appointment this morning with some doctor who is going to give me a prescription and soon my serotonin levels will change and I will no longer have breakdowns in my car. I am looking forward to that.

3. Finally, I am going to go to the new Los Angles County Museum of Art. I cannot believe I have been in SoCal so long and have seen no art. I feel sure this field trip will be good for me.
They have a show of Vanity Fair Portraits which should be fun.

4. He-weasel is not working this weekend, and that is why #3 can happen.

5. I saw the cutest thing ever on What Possessed Me and I feel compelled to share it with you. Go ahead and try and tell me that it is not the cutest thing you have ever seen.

















6. I found that at J Crew this weekend they are having a secret sale of 20-50% off of of their sale merchandise. I also discovered this: "If you schedule an appointment with a J.Crew personal shopper by Monday, October 13, 2008, you can receive 20% off all the (regular priced) items you purchase in addition to receiving style advice. There is a $175 merchandise minimum in order to take advantage of the 20% off. (The minimum threshold has increased from the last personal shoppers offer, which had a $100 minimum.)" Thanks J Crew Aficionado!

7. I was going to go to a lecture on Art, Birth and Rebirth but then realized that the Wellbutrin will not have yet had a chance to kick in and that all that talk about birth might not be a wise.

8. I have a list of books from an article in which Sloan Crolsey, the author of "I Was Told There'd Be Cake" lists her favorite books:

The Garden Party and Other Stories by Katherine Mansfield

Slouching Towards Bethlehem by Joan Didion

On the Edge of Reason by Miroslav Krleza

The Chosen by Chaim Potok

Sloan also counts Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami and Birds of America by Lorrie Moore as two of her favorites---but I have already read them and loved them. I would read them again but my books are locked up in storage.

9. Going to see Rachel Getting Married. Looks like my kind of movie.

10. That I have 9 things I am happy about.

Dear readers, thank you for all your lovely comments. Your kind support, encouragement and warm words mean more to me than you will ever know. Hope the good karma you accrued comes back to you this weekend and that you have a weekend that gives you a lot to be happy about.
