I'm listening to Sinatra today. Specifically: Wrap Your Troubles in Dreams from the Songs for Young Lovers CD. You Tube Video
Songs for Young Lovers/Swing Easy by Frank Sinatra
"Just remember that sunshine always follows the rain.
So wrap your troubles in dreams, and dream all your troubles away.
Your castles may tumble, that's fate after all, life's really funny that way.
But no need to grumble, smile as they fall, weren't you king for a day?
Just remember that sunshine always follows the rain.
So wrap your troubles in dreams, and dream all your troubles away."

In part, I have been growing my hair out in Seattle because I hadn't found a hairstylist that I trusted enough to "give me a new style." And it was beginning to look awful.
So I took a chance yesterday with a new stylist at a local Bellevue salon and like the results. In case you can't tell from the photo, there's some bold red and blonde highlights... and it was cut to the length of my shortest layer. I still intend to grow it out a bit - especially the bangs, which had been previously mangled by a previous $12 hair joint.

After over 10 years of a warm and loving relationship (1997 - 2008), Michael and I have mutual agreement to call it quits. As always, this is a low-drama household. We still like and respect each other. We want good things for each other's future, but recognize that future won't be together.
Over the next few days, we'll be finalizing the particulars of the physical separation, Michael is contemplating moving to either Seattle (city side) or possibly back to Ohio. I will stay on in the current Bellevue apartment to finish out the terms of the lease.
We'd like to take a moment to acknowlege all of the people who have befriended us as a couple all these years. Thanks for your friendship. We want to assure you that you don't have to choose between us as friends, since we bear no ill will toward each other and will be comfortable with each other in social situations. Also, we want to thank you, in advance, for your support during this transition period. It will not be easy, but we feel it is for the best.
Alllllll day, I've been humming American Boy by Estelle and Kayne.
"Take me on a trip, I'd like to go someday.... I really want to kick it with you. You'll be my American boy. "
"Dress smart like a London bloke.. before he speak, his suit bespoke."

On Saturday, I hung out with the very pregnant Kelli and Dillon. Today, I met up with Debbie, Matt & their 2 kids, who were up from Ojai, CA.
The result of back-to-back nuclear family sessions left me a bit unsettled. The whole mommie thing still scares the crap out of me.
