still not enough candles to burn down the house

Today I am 24 years old. 24 seems like it will be a really good age, old enough to be taken seriously, young enough to shop in the Juniors section without being laughed out of the store. It’s gotta be a good year.

I’ve got a busy day planned today. First my sweet husband is taking me to lunch at the Nepali restaurant. I love this place and Jim hates it, so it really is love. Then I am going to walk over the the new salon on Main St. that my friend Sarah told me about yesterday. (You saved my life Sarah.) If it seems cool and the stylists have great hair, I’m going to make an appointment. Deep breaths.

Then I will head to the office where I will quickly print out invoices and do some bookkeeping. Next I will go to the yarn store(!) where I will teach my very first knitting class. I’m very excited about this. It’s the Colinette Point 5 hat. After my knitting class, Jim, the kids, my sister and I will all head to my moms house. She’s making me homemade tamales, margaritas, and ice cream cake. Oh, yum.

I’m off to start my busy day.
