New Haircut

Yay. No one was smoking in the hair salon today AND it hasn't rained all day. That's a good day.

My new haircut

It's getting pretty cold here, so I had to turn on the heat. Each room has it's own little heating unit, so I mainly just have it on in the bathrooms as it was getting to chilly for Maddie to get out of the bath without some heat.

We're getting ready to head to the states for Uncle Brian's Wedding. Maddie's teacher is all fine with it, but the administration at the school calls it an "unexcused absence." I hope it doesn't go on her permanent record. Gonna begin the process of hauling home Christmas presents. Hit the Haribo Outlet in Solingen yesterday--also home to the famed knives. I don't think that I will ever let Maddie know that there is a Gummi bear super store within driving distance. I'd never get her out of there!
