May Flowers (lighting on fire and dying in the heat)
Um, how did May get here so fast? I realize I’m almost ten days in, but it’s JUST hitting me that it’s MAY.
I swear I just got my hairs did . . . but no, all calculations lead to the end of December which was almost six months ago which means HOLY SPLIT ENDS AND ROOTS BATMAN! I am a huge, lazy, slob.
Being May also means SANDAL WEATHER (wait who am I kidding, I live in Arizona, it’s sort of always sandal weather, but you know what I mean! Summer shoes!) and this also means that I need to get a weekly pedicure so my feet don’t look like walking sandpaper death (didja get that?). I am lazy (as you can tell by the time between hair-dids) and cheap (see above paragraph as well) so attempting to get a pedicure that often just sounds painful in many, many ways.
You know what else the month of May means? Well in Phoenix it means it’s about to get hotter than hell. Me? Dreading that and wishing it would stay 82 forever and ever. I went to lunch in a friend’s convertible with the top down today and I was sweating like a pig. IT WAS SO HOT!!! It’s a new car and he was so delighted to have the top down and all I wanted to do was climb into the back and force the top up. It’s foreshadowing to how much I’ll be sweating this summer in the car with all the windows up and the AC blasting. Good times.
With May also comes good news, never fear. It means that in LESS than four weeks, all my girls are coming to town for our Annual Ladies Soiree. This year it’s being hosted in yours truly’s house and yours truly is very excited. Julia, who is the organizer/party planner extraordinaire, came out a while ago to scope out my digs and we have SO MUCH stuff planned to do.
Until then, I’m totally swamped with new responsibilities at work, play practice, and fighting off some weird laryngitis/cold crap that snuck up on me this week. I’m not sure which is worse . . . the play or the cold. Work is good. I like work this week.
I PROMISE I will get to my Soap Opera this week. I know it’s been hanging out there for quite some time and I just need to get on with it already!
Hope you all have fan-freaking-tastic weekends! Mwwaaah.

I’m so jealous of you that you have friends who will actually participate in out of town girls weekends! It’s like pulling teeth trying to get any of my girlfriends to leave their hometowns for a weekend…
And I cannot wait until the weather breaks 70 degrees here–it’s May, I shouldn’t have to be wearing a jacket anymore!!! Have a great weekend

Seriously? I can’t wait until you start up your SOS again, because I miss it, and I’m dying with anticipation.
And I’ve never had a pedicure before. I know *shock!* Maybe this year will be my first.

about the hair — i need to switch to something lower-maintenance. if i went more than 2 months between colorings, i’d look like trailer trash. seriously.

OH MY GOSH I AM SO EXCITED!!! Seriously, I’m totally with you on the whole, “where did May go?” thing. And THEN I thought, “Holy crap, the girls trip is 4 weeks away!!” Super stoked, but also freaked because I still have so much stuff to do and organize. Good laws - I hope I can pull it off. I am SO SO SO excited to see you!!! Girls Trip, here we come!!
