random hairiness...

       checking xanga and facebook has become part of my morning routine recently--a pretty dangerous addition, i think, when i could be sucked easily into an interesting post or become too curious about who said what to whom (facebook stalker style) and make myself late for work. i like to allow myself a lot of time in the mornings, though, so i have time to wake up. i don't like to be rushed.

       funny story. well, not so much funny (haha) as funny (rolling eyes). yesterday was hot and humid, see? extremely. heat index was around 110 or so. anyway, my hair is a bit wavy in places and almost kinda curly in others (not quite), but in that kind of heat it all goes poofy and i look like a mushroom head. so i haven't had a haircut since about april and it's getting kinda shaggy and i was going crazy yesterday, so last night i made the (stupid?) decision to cut it myself. yeah. this is where you can laugh. i did a little research online to figure out how it was done and combined that with my many observations of how risa has cut my hair, then said a big prayer and set to work. it took me over two hours, but i think i finally got it to look somewhat decent. there are a couple places that are a little uneven, but they're not obvious (and i'll probably fix it tonight), and i might have cut it a little close, but it's not that bad, i hope. we'll see today when i walk into work if people start laughing. 

       we're running the ganache today that we made yesterday. he didn't get the teas/flavorings i had hoped for, so it's not as good as i'd like but it's not bad either. i'm a little nervous about it all getting sucked into the enrobing machine and wasting hundreds of dollars worth of chocolate. we'll see what happens. have a good one, all. later.
