Changed my playlist...again. I put up some of my favorite songs from my favorite band, in honor of my birthday! Sunday made it two weeks to go. My parents (more specifically my mom) understood how upset I was about not having a big bash for one of my milestone birthdays, so she asked if I'd like to invite two or three friends out to family dinner with us on my birthday. So, that's my little bash right there. I'm really glad, especially since I was scared of having a depressing birthday.

Set up my birthday wish list... and my mom was asking why I trusted shoes online, even though they were a name brand. I used to always ask for whatever fancy popped into my head. Originally, I set up a gift registry via Sephora...but after looking at my list, I saw that I didn't even need half the things. So, what did I ask for, via that super deluxe beauty store? A gift set/trio of hair treatments (for damaged/dry hair...thanks to two rounds of bleach and two applications of a color glaze), as well as a compact push-out brush. Two things I could use to keep up my new short 'do. There's other things I asked for too, but a lot of the things I asked for, I wondered over if I really needed them. So, I went for a practical (and less packed) wish list.

Today's the day when my friend Maggie invited me over, after hearing how I was a little down and missing her company. She was the one I called when I wanted to hear from one of my genuine friends from home during my Vacation-from-Hell in Baltimore. So, she invited me over at 1:15...why not 1, I have no clue. Something in the back of my head is suspicious, and wondering if it's about some kind of surprise party. Another voice says 'She loves ya dearly, but there's not enough people around to invite!'. So, that's true too. We'll see. Either way, I'm excited to be going to see her. We live in the same town and rarely see each other.

Tomorrow morning, at this time, I'll be at the hair salon, getting my hairs-cut. See? Not hair cut. A single hair follicle cut for $30? A little crazy :P Still, I'm anxious to see the result. I was browsing through Vogue at 5 AM (due to hormonal changes for this week that make me miss sleep...but not lack in wakefulness later on), I found the picture of my dream haircut. I remember finding my look almost delightfully French, so, a cut to go with it! Everyone will just have to wait and see  I'll post pictures as soon as possible, I promise.

I can't believe that a week from today I'll be in school...twenty minutes from now, I'll be finishing up my first class, I believe. Pretty daunting, but I know with God's help and through the prayers for success from all of my recovery buddies, I'll make it through. I can still be nervous though . Nothing wrong with that.

Well, I'll do a short entry if there are any updates (like that surprise party! Damn, I still want to know what's going on! Why 1:15?!).

Time to get going for the day :) I'll post pictures tomorrow!

Blessings for today and the everyday,
