Surprise!  Red hair.  Surprise, surprise!  I found a great studio apartment.  Surprise, surprise, surprise a good friend sent me sweet smelling flowers.

I can not stop smiling.

Also, I got my bike out today and rode around with my kiddos.  It felt like glory.  Oh, how I love the promises of spring. 

So.  I am moving on Saturday.  I have no furniture, just mountains of clothes and dishes and pillows.  But this apartment is awesome.  Huge windows, exposed brick walls, wood floors, vaulted ceilings, AND a claw foot tub I may have jumped up and down and clapped my hands when I saw it.

It's in this really great spot too.  At the top of Cinderella wooden stairs in an ancient building.  And the best part is I am going to have no television and no internet, just my boxes and boxes of books.  Who knows, maybe I'll get crazy and write a little too.

I am very excited.  My hair is a crazy color right now, you can't really tell in the picture but if I had to describe it I'd call it Indie Red and make a new crayola crayon for it.  But it is making me more bold in class.  I figure I already look a fool, I might as well sound one too.  And it's really growing on me.  

I may keep it for a while.

Alright.  Off to write a critique of Wieland (the first American Gothic novel and wildly intriguing, you should check it out).
