today's nice things:

* lunch with a friend/colleague: hot dog and coca cola. and the new white + dark daim for desert

* left work 2 hours earlier than scheduled (okeyed by the boss)

* had a haircut. really needed it. i said, as i (almost) always do: you can do whatever you like, i don't care. normally the result is that it looks exactly the same, only a few centimetres shorter. this time she cut off half of it :) she seemed to enjoy it, and it was fun watching her cut off long strands of hair. she seemed pleased with the result, and as she's the professional i hope she was right.

* had (my very first) capuccino and cake at the "youth cafe" with another friend/colleague (i don't know if it's officially a youth cafe, but the friend/colleagues daughter had said it was. we figured we are both quite youth-ish, so it should be ok)

* the husband and i went to look at a few more houses:
- first this one. it was ok.
- then this one. i didn't really like the way it looks (windows are important), but the owners had sent us a couple of more photos, and i thought i might be able to live with the ugly windows. but it turned out the side facing the road was extremely ugly, so it wasn't even worth slowing down.
- i fell in love with the third house before i'd even seen it, just by looking at the path leading up to it. it was perfect. not at all the kind of house i'm interested in, but somehow it was perfect. i'm not going to tell you which one it is, because you'd all fall in love with it and someone might buy it so i can't get it and then i'd be sad and heart broken and never ever be able to be happy again. probably. but i'll blog a photo once we've bought it :)

* the sun is shining

today's bad thing:

* we have no water. at all. and i need a shower. and tommy does too.  ¶ 9:45 PM
