Things may be looking up . . .

• Have you ever seen "Little Shop of Horrors"?

I've discovered something about myself: I love movies that you can tell were plays, once. Or you imagine they could be plays.
And dark quirky musicals? With Steve Martin revealing the truth about dentists? Oh, honey, right up my alley.

• I have 78 research papers to grade. 

Are you envious?
You totally should be.
Or not.

• Speaking of papers, one of my students posted this on my FB page . . . 

Ha. Ha. Ha.
No.


Not only does it feature the worst of the Star Wars films (Episode III as an example of power? Pfffft please, child), but, when you realize this student still hasn't turned in his paper . . . that I've been walking them through step by step since January . . .  I'm in that odd place between laughing and fury.  Foolish, foolish child.
"You can't win, Darth. Strike me down, and I will become even more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Dang. Straight.

• I chopped my hair off two weeks ago.

I've been wanting a pixie cut for years . . . but I always kind of thought that I'd end up looking like a pumpkin.
Then, the Saturday before Easter, I took the plunge. Mostly.

It went from this . . .

Featuring the squid mug I painted for my birthday at All Fired Up Pottery . . . I'm kind of obsessed with squid at the moment . . .
Oh, and P.S. This is the only pic that really turned out . . .
Case and Point:

And that's a really good one. Oi.
The hubs should never be a professional photographer . . . Not because he's not any good, but because he gives confusing instructions and seems to prefer taking awkward pictures than cute one . . .

To this:

All dressed up in Easter duds!
With half my hair! Whoo! Love! 

Not quite a pixie cut, but it's the shortest I've ever had it, and I love it.
I honestly didn't realize how short it was in the back until I was in a dressing room with one of those angled mirrors so you can see just how BIG those pants make your butt look.  I then realized I hadn't seen the back of my head in weeks. And my hair is as short or shorter in the back than the hubs' hair is . . .

So, now, when we accidentally wear the same colored tees, jeans, and black chucks . . . and square glasses . . . we look like ying-yang clones of each other.
No, seriously, we're not THAT couple.
It's a total accident.
So we're that other irritating matching couple. The accidental one. Not the intentional matching kind.
. . . I'm not sure if that makes us better or worse . . .

Chris had an interview today . . . 
For a possible new job . . . that would be pretty awesome in lots of ways . . . more on that once we find out the results . . . Whoo-hoo!!!
We've loved his time at the bookstore, and, really, if this doesn't work out, we will continue to love being there.
. . . . Still . . . the opportunities presented could be pretty sweet with the new gig . . . ;]
