On the drought, clean hair, Bradley Cooper, and spiders.

It’s Talk To Us Tuesday and it’s Random Tuesday, so let’s kill two birds with one stone and link up with both!

• Remember yesterday, when I was grumpy about having no water to shower with in the morning and having to come to work feeling like a scuzzball?  Well…nothing like absence to make the heart grow fonder.  When I got home last night, the water was back on, and that shower felt glorious.  I will never take it for granted again.
• I’m still very much appreciating it this morning.  I can’t stop running my fingers through my silky, smooth hair.  I even let one of the guys here at the office touch it.  He agreed, it’s very very nice.  After a full day of my hair feeling like straw, I now FULLY appreciate my clean head of hair. ;)
• So.  I’ve kinda been laughing off this drought, telling people how much I love the heat and the sun and who cares if it ever rains again.  Well.  When my town starts running out of water, I start to take it a little more seriously…My morning shower is très important.  Bring on the rain.
• I may be a little behind the times, but last night I finally rented The Hangover Part 2.  I’m a fan of the original, and I must say, I thought the sequel was pretty good as well.   The one thing it does seem to have done successfully?  Finally won me over on Bradley Cooper…

• I know, I know.  Who doesn’t love Bradley Cooper?  Well, me.  Kinda.  I didn’t dislike him, but I never really got on-board the Bradley Cooper train.  However, last night, while watching the flick…Yeah, I was kinda diggin’ him.

• There’s this song…I heard it months ago on the radio, and it was literally one of those pull-over-and-have-a-good-cry songs.  I’ve avoided it ever since, because it’s literally that heart-wrenching.  The last couple of days, though…I can’t stop listening to it.  It pretty much captures exactly how I feel about the loved ones I’ve lost in the past few years.  And that line… “Mid-February shouldn’t be so scary”…it’s like it was taken straight out of my head.  Beautiful, bittersweet song.

• OK!  Enough of the sad stuff!!
• I think I’ve mentioned this several times lately, but I seriously can’t wait to get the hell outta Dodge.  Road-trippin’ with my momma to Belleville next weekend for a wedding?  Should be perfect timing.  Then my holidays start at the end of the month.  I’m so ready.
• Despite longing for my holidays, I feel July is going too fast.  Which means my birthday is coming too fast.  I’ve always loved my birthday, but I’ve officially reached that point in life where I hate getting older.  Last year, I decided not to go up in age.  I think I’ll do the same again this year.  Just stick at 27 again.  27 is a good age – not too old, not too young.  29 is definitely too close to 30…
• Anyone recall my ol’ pal The Spider?

• Yeah.  He was big and nasty.  But my bloggy friend Nadine assured me that if you’re all Zen with the spiders, you can co-exist quite peacefully.  She claims to shower with one every morning.  I don’t think I could handle it.  Anyways, Nadine’s post this morning proves that even her “Zen philosophy” has been shaken after she had a far-too-close encounter with a spidey!  Eeeeeek!!

Happy Tuesday, all! :)
