Styling

Lady Jane decided she wanted short hair, so I took her to my hair dresser. Yes, it is twice as much as Great Clips, but I knew it'd be a good cut. So we went and we discussed because she had middle of her back length hair, but she was adamant and hair grows back. Sometimes slowly, but hair does grow back. So five inches or so later, Lady Jane has a chin length hair with some bangs. She looks very cute, but there's a lot less we can do with her hair now. It's not quite long enough for a single pony tail and forget about braids. But she's happy and everyone has told her how cute her hair is to the point that she's sick of hearing it.

The boys went to Phil's parents' lake house for the weekend while Lady Jane and I stayed here and did the party circuit. Yup apparently it's bday time in her Kindergarten class. 2 this weekend and 1 next weekend and 1 more coming up and then there's hers which she waffles back and forth over where she wants it and what she wants to do. Craziness I tell you. Anyway, we're doing good. We had a good time and so did the boys.

Yes, There are Gaps

Sorry, my mind has not been on blogging. For those concerned, I have not heard from the editor yet and probably won't for a few weeks. Way of the world and all that. Let's see I had a birthday, we bought an office chair and Rock Band 2 for me. I just spent the week up in Kewanee with my mom and dad and my kids. Mom and I kicked an old bathroom's *ss by ripping it's inurds out to make way for the pantry it used to be. Soreness and bruises are a small price to pay for the happiness that is a job at least started. :-) Found a really cool idea to solve our pantry issue.

Bought a fridge to replace our 9 year old first fridge. It has an ice maker which has been dropping ice and sucking water every 3 hours. No it's not one of those in the door type things. Got an excellent price on the model I've been eyeballing because it was on clearance. I have a part time job as an accountant. It's been interesting and nice to use that portion of my brain.

Yep, life is just chugging along at this point.

I just submitted my full novel to an editor. My panic button is set to high and I'm having difficulty concentrating, but it feels really good to get my novel out there. Now for the waiting game. It can take days, weeks, months to hear back. I'm still psyched.
