a haircut and apple cider....

Yesterday i got a hair cut! First time i had my hair cut by a man! they are the best! Since I was 14, i had my hair cut from the same person at the same salon.... Even when I lived elsewhere, I returned to her. Last September, she cut my hair so bad, she didn t even care to apologize... and she even charged me more.... ouatte de phoque????

So, i let my hair grew , grew and grew until I was fed up ! So yesterday I went to HIM!!!! He`s probably gonna be my new hair dresser for the future!!!! Thank you!!!!

With my new career comes regular paycheck!!! thank you!!!! I figure that by next June, my debt should be gone!!! Yahoo!!! So, yesterday, i went shopping: 2 bras (smaller size but high quality), 3 dress-shirt and one very slimming dress!!!! Yes!!! all that under 250$ (hair cut included!) Thanks to It`s all Maya, for the Sears clearance sales.... YES!!!! Best of it, I went to Sears and got an extra 5$ off for just watching a 10 minutes fashion show! :) Plus 20% off because it was Saturday!

I went out with new friends, resto, bowling, arcade and a fine bistro where I drank fine Apple cider!!!! Came back home at 3 am.... ouf!!! in 25 days, i`ll came closer to be 40.... well 4 more years to go.... I look younger now than I did when I was 25.... 10 years ago.... go figure!!!! but I like it!

On that, have a good week!!! week # 7 :)

le 1er avril!!!

Yes, today is a fun day!!! It`s April fool`s day! In French we call it Poisson d`avril.... (april fish!)

I don`t remember the origin of this celebration, but let me tell you what happend to me more than a decade ago...

It was when I lived in Estevan, Saskatchewan. I was working as a French monitor in an anglophone school... As the French monitor, I was in charge of organizing french activities... So, in late March, my students and I made a giant mural that look like a fish tank. All my students created their own fish made of paper, etc... The funny thing is that they didn`t understand why they had to made a fish and a huge fish tank... and I kept telling them, "well it`s for the 1st of April!!!!" anyway, they went along with my project... and i would tell them: it`s to celebrate April fish!!! til a grade one said to me : Oh, Madame you mean April fool!!! I guess the joke was on me!!! We all had a good laugh about it!!!

I should`ve taken a picture of that mural back then....

On that, Happy April Fish day everyone... I mean April Fool!!! ;)
