wow i feel great right now. i had my hair colored today at spa. i'd had it with trying to get it right myself. plus, i asked for semi-permanent dye, which was such a fantastic idea. now, i won't get nasty roots and my head doesn't stink like chemicals! wonderful!
i've been going to the gym more regularly lately, and it's starting to feel so good. i've been doing weights twice a week, and i find the burning sensation incredibly satisfying. i like the idea of getting stronger, in my muscles and my bones.
i think i might do that surprise proposal thingy at the end of the month, on my birthday. four years ago, brian and i spent my birthday together at the park near my parents house. there was this huge snowstorm earlier that week, so the ground was covered in more than a foot of snow. it was so much fun, so much fun. and really beautiful. we wore snowpants and went traipsing through the streets and the park. i showed him how to swing and jump off into the snow, and i showed him the river, and we sat on a log over the ice and kissed. we went to the village to warm up, and reluctantly went to starbucks for some hot cocoa.
for a long time afterward, even now, brian says that was the best day of his life.
so, i was thinking of bringing him back to some of those places. i want to show him that i want to make the rest of his life as happy as that day was.
