Life seems but a quick succession of busy nothings

Thoughtful Thursday

Well still no books or games yesterday... but that only means a greater chance of something arriving today right? And still no response to the emails about the ring. Last night as I was painting my nails I had a brilliant idea how I can "fix" the ring myself if they won't own up to their mistake and let me exchange it for the right one. Yep that's right - I'll just grab some nail polish and a toothpick and paint a heart over the butterfly and seal it and be done with it. Of course, genius though that may be, I'm not really happy with the thought of having to resort to that but it will work. That will wait a while though, just in case they do decide to get back to me in the next couple of weeks about it. I'll give that till the end of the month and if three weeks have gone by without a response it should be safe to assume I can try my handy work with the ring.... right?

My hair has been nothing but an annoyance lately. It's finally long enough I can no longer just leave it down when I go to bed; if I do then it's a huge matted, tangled mess in the morning. I've been somewhat obsessed with "is it waist length yet? what's taking so long?!" - the unpredictable nature of my waves/wurls is getting on my nerves... I'm not happy with it at the moment as you can see! I am very, very tempted to cut it, or at least just put in some more noticeable layers. But it being playoff time has saved my hair from that doom, for a couple more weeks anyway. Once playoffs are over though there's no telling what I may do! So with all the annoyances over it, I'm trying to just "forget it" and maybe that will take my mind off how long it is (or in this case, isn't) long enough that one day I'll just suddenly realize it's grown a few inches and be thrilled over it. In the mean time it's been in a braid four days straight. And it's going to stay in a braid. I don't know how long - but for quite a while. I take it out in the morning just to re-do it and get rid of the bed head, or to wash it if it needs washed. I leave it down or do something else with it when I go out too, just because I think I look ridiculous with all my hair pulled back. But as soon as I come home it's combed and back into a braid again. Boring perhaps, but it keeps it out of my way and keeps me from thinking about it too much.

Well I have some things to do today to try to keep myself occupied while I wait in hopes of getting my books or games today. Best to actually do something and make myself useful rather than stalking the windows looking out for the mail/ups truck. haha.

Before I go though... I found Alana's video for Obsession rather amusing so I thought I'd share. Enjoy!
