you know how it is when one morning you wake up, look in the mirror and realize you need a haircut really bad? that was me today. then i realized it's been since the end of april since i had one.
no wonder i was eating bangs with my cereal. i'm going to try to squeeze one in this week, but it may not happen. too bad it's not stocking hat season. i could drag this bad 'do out for at least a week and no one would ever know. i do love my stocking hats...

in other news. i am not taking a picture cuz it's kinda gross. but...sidney got her leg amputated and she really seems happier. we're pretty excited for her, she's got a little giddy-up in her go again.
she was in so much pain that she wouldn't even attempt to get up if someone threw a ball (which is pretty serious if you know labs at all). her first day home, i took her outside and she went right into the garage and grabbed a tennis ball. it was so cute. another week or so and i bet money she's chasing that ball all over the place.

other than that, we had a small taste of summer on saturday with a day at the big (heated) pool ini mitchell and a night of waterskiing. we didn't get off the lake until 9:45...that's a record, i think. sunday the clouds and rain were back. on the bright side, this place looks like ireland.

i'm wondering if my mom earned her pilot's license this weekend? i should say, i wonder how WELL my mom did on her pilot's test. anyway, i'm proud of you mom. i know you aced that thing, with FLYING colors. you are da bomb. next up? barrel racing?
