Grey Hair

I think the name of the post says it all. Yesterday I walked in to the ladies room at work. Now I usually don't spent a lot of time in that place, just do my business and get out. But this time it was different. I was glancing at myself in the mirror when I noticed something white in my hair. I took a step closer to see what it was. I was shocked. I am thankful nobody was in the bathroom at that time, otherwise that would hear my "oh no, really? this can't be". I pulled the hair and just stared at it for a few seconds and then threw it away. I decided not to stress about one grey hair, because stressing would only lead to finding more of them.
Fast forward to today's morning, I was done blow drying my hair when I noticed something white again. Guess what it was. Yes, another grey hair. I just hope it is not going to be like this everyday now. Hopefully, tomorrow will be a "grey hair free" day.

One Year Older

Well, I turned 27 years old this Monday. Mr. V and I had plans to grab lunch before his work trip to Boston. But as it turned out we didn't have time for breakfast together, so forget about lunch for sure. Our downstairs bathroom was leaking and it was either fixing it that morning before Mr. V's trip or waiting for a week and let our garage be full of water. So, Mr. V spent around 3 hours taking the tile off,used a special paste to hold the tile, putting tile back on and cleaning, while I was finishing his packing and making him some food to go.
Honestly, sometimes I wonder if he really works with computers all day long. If I didn't know, I thought he works in construction. He had all the tools and materials to fix the bathroom. He said it was his first time working with the tile but he did such a great job that I think it looks better then before. Maybe I should start calling him Mr. Fix It All. This is usually how it goes in my family, I break something and Mr. V fixes it. Although, in this case probably for the first time, it wasn't my fault that the bathroom was leaking :)
I drove Mr. V to the airport and since I had a day off, I headed back home. Later, I visited my close friend. She got a really good cake that we started eating without having diner first. I also received flowers and a balloon from another close friend. I felt like I spend half of the day on the phone accepting birthday wishes. It felt great that people remembered and cared. And in the evening, my family and I went to diner. Overall, it was a good birthday, I just with Mr. V would be there to celebrate it with me.
