Some experiences

I had a joyful moment yesterday looking at something completely bizarre. I think the joy of it was the fact that so much of the picture didn't fit together. I was on my way to work and had to quickly stop off at the bank. I was rushing a bit so I'm surprised that I even saw it. I was passing by the Tim Hortons and sitting in the parking lot, facing the road, was a flashy cherry red convertible sports car with two people sitting in it. They both looked like residents of a retirement centre or even a nursing home. The woman was wearing a bright scarf that clashed with the colour of the car. And they were both sitting there looking as if all this was completely normal at the end of November. And over all of this, they were blaring some crazy jazz music. It was beautiful. I just couldn't help grinning like crazy. I think the old man might have thought I was laughing at him but really I was just marvelling at how wonderful life really is. Sometimes, I can't wait to be old.
Another funny experience that I had last week was to listen to my mother-in-law discuss the family background of my future brother-in-law, Peter, (my sister's boyfriend, not quite fiance, but other side of the family to my mother-in-law) with the grandmother of a friend of Sarah's!! How crazy is that? It's more confusing yet but i'll just leave you with that.
I have a hair appointment today. There's nothing like treating yourself to a haircut by your favourite hairdresser. Generally haircuts are just regular things that you have to do a couple times a year but my hair dresser is a bit more pricey ($30 a cut?) and the experience is just fabulous. It really is a treat. Besides the hair wash and head massage, I always love the cut. I usually let Alicia, the hairdresser, go crazy on my head and do what she feels would look great on me. I can't wait to see what she does this time.
I took Sat. off so I actually get a whole weekend this week. I am really looking forward to it. Dan will be a bit busy but that's okay because I have cleaning and Christmas decorating that I really want to do. Dan and I are also going to pick up a Christmas tree this Saturday if the weather works out. If I manage my stress right this month, it looks like it might turn out to be a really good one.
