I finally finished the book. I was feeling a bit down today, unaccomplished as usual. Maybe it’s the aftermath of the multitude of stuff that needed to get done last week. So I did what I usually do when I’m feeling negative: hit the salon. And yes, today, I finally died.. err.. dyed – my hair. I was going to go all out loud orange but the protests were majority so I decided on a compromise. Not the best looking hair I think, but it’s different from what I am used to looking at so nonetheless I felt better. Also, since it was quite a long treatment, I finally got down to reading the book and actually finishing it this afternoon. Not really fond of the so-called “chic-lit” but I found it quite amusing. I remember when I was young, I used to read a lot. But most my books were Nancy Drews, and occasional Sweet Valley Highs, just because all the other girls were reading that one. But I have to say I had more fun reading the mystery type novels. Reading the list book this afternoon made me think back on a list i conjured up back in grade school, which was supposedly my “things to do before I die”. Now I think about it, it could very well be: “Being Nancy Drew”. Yes, I was that huge a fan. Although unintentional, I think i made a step towards that today when I decided to put a “tinge” of red in my hair today :-p.
But seriously, reading the book did get me thinking more about what I’ve accomplished so far and I guess it refueled my goal to create that “things to do before I’m 21h” list again. I will sit down on it, I’ve put some stuff in already. I should definitely work on it more. Anyway, Tomorrow, or should I say today, is the start of another work week for me. I hope it will be interesting. As the saying goes, today is the first day of the rest of your life. I am hoping to make the most of it.
