• Saturday morning was the belt ceremony for DS1's tae kwon do school, so he finally got the white belt that he successfully tested for. Now, he just needs to learn to tie the darn thing.


• I finally got a haircut, since it had been over a year since the last one. I even have the disembodied ponytail to show for it. I should remember to donate it at some point. Anyway, now it's nice and short and out of the way. It's funny, the last time I this much hair cut off, I felt a real sense of loss. This time, I just felt relief.


• DH has re-organized the big code I've written. Here's where being married to a computer scientist comes in handy! It practically looks like a software package a code developer might have written! Until you look at it closely and realize that no, actually, it's still spaghetti code that a scientist hacked together, just served on a fancy plate with decorative drizzles of sauce and sprinkles of garnishes.


• DS1 had his first sleepover Saturday night. Two of his best friends (twins) live just down the street, and they had been begging their mother to let him sleep over. Now, I suppose, we should invite them over. Except that those two boys are normal, rambunctious first grade boys, while DS1 is a quiet, well-behaved, bookish boy. So having them over here will be a significant perturbation from the status quo than DS1 going over to their house. I am afraid. For now, I still have the excuse that we don't have a fully working bathroom...
