I don’t know about y’all, but I am so ready for the weekend! Not that I get to do anything fun — studying all weekend — but it’s nice to at least know that I don’t need to go in for work!

Ok, so I was trying to think of the best way to detail all of the randomness that was my day yesterday, but truly, I’m not that good. So, I’m making a list!

1. I got my hair cut!

I know, not so exciting but it feels so much better! You see, I’ve had pretty much every hair style and/or cut known to man. Lest you forget: back in my dancing days, I signed a contract turning my hair over to the team’s salon, and they took full advantage of that privilege! Because of that, I have not touched hair dye in 7 years, and don’t see that changing. Occasionally, I will think about how fun it would be to change it up, but then I remember the mass of straw that used to be my hair…. I’ll stick with what I’ve got going on now 🙂

2. I took Tals for a walk yesterday, and a random wildebeest attacked me! And no, I never exaggerate.

Well, it was really a dog,but whatever…. felt like the same animal! Tally and I were walking down the path when I leaned over to pet an oncoming dog that seemed super sweet. Out of nowhere, the dog snarled and lunged at me!

Luckily, I have ninja-like reflexes and dodged his pointy little teeth, but his claws still got me in the chest. Of course, Tally didn’t like this one bit and she went after the dog and all hell broke loose. I gave the dog owner my most evil stare and dragged my snapping dog away.

Apparently, I am not the dog whisperer I thought I was.

3. I had my first track practice for the Special Olympics!

I don’t remember if I told y’all this, but awhile back I signed up to be a volunteer track coach for the local chapter of the Special Olympics. Last night was the first practice, and I had such a great time!

From what I can tell, the team consists of roughly 10 different peeps with varying ages and disabilities. We will practice for 8 weeks and then finish up with a big track competition. Yesterday was spent with a few laps running/walking on the track, as well as different exercises like high knees, butt kicks, and wind sprints.

And then this storm rolled in:

The girl I was working with was especially interested in the storm and kept detailing the progress of the rain clouds 🙂 Luckily, it held out until just after we finished up, but it did mean that I didn’t get to do my own track workout afterwards like I had planned. Sigh. Maybe next week!
