Ups and Downs

Up: I unintentionally cut off my hair. Well, not me personally -- the renegade stylist did. The jury is still out whether I love it or not, but hair cuts are always fun. I'm sure it will grow on me (har-har).

Down: My permanent retainer broke. It is a painful reminder of the brace-face-ache of childhood. However, the impossiblity of scheduling an orthodontist appointment and the dental insurance hassle have shoved me back into adulthood. Me: "Ack! I have a loose piece of metal in my mouth that is shredding my tongue and gums." Receptionist: "Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that. The doctor will be able to see you in about two weeks." Sigh.

Up: I ended my lame rental car streak! Goodbye, Lumina/Cobalt/Taurus. Hello, Mustang.

Down: Friends that don't act like friends.

Up: Despite her insanely busy schedule, Becks has called me almost every night this week just to talk about nothing.

Down: The agency arranged for a car service to pick me up from the airport after my trip to AC. I never thought I would see a limo driver at the airport holding a sign with my name on it! As I approach Maris, the driver, he looked surprised. Maris: "Oh. I thought Leslie was a man's name." Me: "Oh. That's funny. I thought Maris was a woman's name." Ok, I didn't really say that, but seriously...

I don't think I realized that my name had officially been changed to Becks. Oh well, you can call me whatever nickname you want, so long as you promise to come back to Dallas!

I want to see your hair cut. Post a picture. I enjoy reading your blog. Aunt Jeannie and Uncle Jim too.
