i absolutely LOVED the response i got from my post about going insane. i thought you'd enjoy some highlights from my week [it's still incredibly weird to get a real-life response to my blog, rather than an internet one, but hey, keep it coming, i'm glad you read]
tuesday night at salt:
my friend emily tells me she saw my post on facebook ["i haven't had a meltdown...YET"], but didn't read the blog and asks me how i'm doing.
i say, "oh i just wrote about how bryan is leaving me for the summer..." and i'm down, as in, tears are welling in my eyes as students call out my name asking to register for the Salt Retreat. i escape to the bathroom and try to control myself.
wednesday night at craft night:
i'm knitting with gig, victoria, and kaylee. victoria notes the blog and asks me how i'm doing. i talk about it a little bit and joke about my line about constantly being on the verge of tears at all times. the room gets kind-of quiet and victoria so adorably points out, "oh, you're crying now..."
"yep, i am" i respond and proceed to cry it out.
thursday morning at work:
one of our elders passes by my desk on his way out the door, and says, "i read your blog, that was HILARIOUS, but very true, so we'll be praying for you." his good sense of humor and compassion almost made me cry again.
on friday, i was finally able to talk about the impending east asia trip without crying, which was super nice. thanks for all the love and support, my friends, you've proved yourself thus far.
and for the cynics out there, NO, it wasn't hormones. sometimes a girl can cry without that particular excuse.

happy haircut
last sunday, at 10:30pm at night, i gave bryan the best haircut of his life. it looked great, and he asked me to trim the sides a little more. we were watching the oscars, and he was talking about something and then, i gasped.
that just happened.
first, i thought i could fix it, but bryan quickly stopped me after he heard the horrified gasp escape my lips. i said, "don't look at it! i can fix it!" and he said, "i need to look at it." after five agonizing minutes alone in the kitchen after the incident, he came back out and said sweetly, "i can barely tell, it's not that bad. but where's the little mirror?" [for a visual, he said this to his crying wife who had buried her face in her hands]
i helped him look at his hair in the mirror so that he saw "the patch" in its full glory. he continued to be ever so sweet and say things like, "you can't even tell from the front." and "it's not that bad." in contrast, i hurdled myself facedown in our bed, crying, and started to mutter, "it's so bad, it's so bad, i'm so sorry, i'm so sorry. don't worry, i won't ever cut your hair again."
he comforted me until we convinced ourselves that he could go to a salon or something the next day, and this would be something we'd laugh about in years to come. "the patch" only lasted about 12 hours, thankfully and in the end, he's still as hot as ever.
thank you twin image, for fixing my husbands hair.

trailer park life
you know you live in a trailer park when...
you call the city to see why the water pressure dropped dramatically only to find out that the city doesn't provide your water. you then easily connect the dots between the fact that your trailer park has a lake, the fact that you've seen brown water come out of your spicket, and the now obvious reason why water is "included" in the lot rent fee.
