Laden with Thoughts

Today I got my hair colored and cut. Yay. I always feel like the prettiest girl after getting my hair done. (Even though I know that tomorrow when I’m getting ready for work there’s no way I’ll be able to replicate the way my hairdresser styled it.)

After my hair appointment, I went to the jewelry store and picked up a ring that I bought and had sized for the ring finger on my right hand. It’s a three stone aquamarine ring with four small diamonds set in white gold. Very beautiful.

I walked out of the mall feeling like the most gorgeous girl in the world. Then I came home to my puppy (furiously wagging his tail and sniffing my head) and my handsome husband (furiously ignoring me and playing video games) and I felt like the luckiest girl in the world.

Josh and I had a nice (but intensely tiring) Christmas. We got to see most of our family and friends, and received some great gifts also.

Some of my loot:

- a digital video camera from my in-laws
- a sapphire necklace from Josh
- extremely cute and comfy J.Crew slippers from my parents
- free installation of a cd player in my car from my parents
- new pants, sweaters, and scarves from Express from my OTHER in-laws
- some fur-lined black gloves from my sister
- various gift cards and monetary gifts

Don’t ask me to explain the two sets of in-laws. Thank you.

Where so many hours have been spent in convincing myself that I am right, is there not some reason to fear I may be wrong?
