V is for Victory

So, after about seven years of growing my hair out, I finally got it cut. The woman who cut my hair gave me sidebangs, and I'm not sure how I feel about this (I told her that I hadn't had bangs since middle school, but I was willing to give it a shot), but otherwise I really like my haircut. She took off about 12 inches, which was a little sad, but not really. Although, I can JUST pull my hair back in a ponytail.

I Work Hard for the Money

I'm up to 20 hours and counting...I woke up this morning inexplicably at 5am. There was no good reason for it--Mark suggested it had to do with the time change, but I normally get up at 7am (6am with the time change), and it wasn't like I had gone to bed really early or anything (11pm). So I went to work (in front of my computer with a latte in hand by 7am). Then I had to be at Oasis by 5pm (12 hour mark) and worked until close. Luckily tonight everything kind of worked out, and we clocked out just after 1am (just a measly 4 hours away from the 24 hour mark). I just had my pre-bed snack, and now I'm about to take my shower and try to get some sleep before tomorrow....

....Because tomorrow I get to do it all over again....
