FOUR Day Weekend!

A few points at the closing of my week:

No. 1: You have to have a Carter to get a Reagan.
(I wish I was clever enough to have come up with this, but alas, I was not.) This phrase has been on my mind a lot in reading the news and such, for sure.

No. 2: There's a new penny! It was unveiled today, right here in Springfield, and it's supposed to be in circulation for the next 50 years!

No. 3: Alexander McQueen was found dead in his home early this morning. I'm not a huge high fashion person, but I definitely have seen his designs. He was extremely creative and made some very cool pieces - some extremely bizarre, but others very stylish. It's rumored he committed suicide. I find that so sad. I'm sure among many others, Lady GaGa will miss him.

No. 4: There are some sick people in the world. A man in Louisville, Ohio was charged with a felony after tattooing the letter "A" on a 1-year-old girls bottom. I hope he's never allowed to come near children ever again, let alone procreate. That's just so disgusting. For the life of me, I cannot understand some people.

No. 5: I'm getting a hair cut tomorrow and I think I'm going to get bangs. Ever since I chopped off my hair a year ago this time and gave it to Locks of Love, I've been so much more daring with my hairstyles. When I say daring, I mean daring in my terms, which means not afraid to do something a little different than the last time, not something drastic type daring. Each time I've gotten my hair cut after donating, I've done something different in the way it's cut each time. Before, I used to say "Hi Will, just the same regular trim. K, thanks!" Not anymore, and I LIKE that!

And last but not least...

No. 6: Tomorrow starts my four day weekend!! You have got to love state holidays and being employed by such. And it's pretty cool that my birthday just so happens to fall on one of those days off, I must say. I'm so excited to go up and see friends and the boyfriend, then back home to have a birthday dinner with family and friends there. I miss being around the people I love so much!
