Now, as you could probably tell, this had me a little freaked out, but I handled it much better then I imagined I would.  I stayed close to my father at first, but got over the whole incident pretty well.  Kind of.  I sort of became convinced that the nurse shark was going to leave its comphy home in the little coral cave and chase me down, so I ( Read more... )

So about two weeks ago I was having AMAZING back to back hair days.  I mean...unheard of good hair days.  Usually the cosmos align and a sacrifice is made but once or twice a year and then and only then would I get a good hair day.

I don't notice things.

For example, I don't notice that I've left the light on after I've left the room.  I don't notice that the cabinet door is still open after I've retrieved my plate.  I don't notice that a hair tie has been on the floor for 3 days.  I don't notice that my nail file has fallen off the counter.
