It was pretty nice, actually. Ten minutes in the dark, with nothing but a chai tea (NOT STARBUCKS) and my kittie. Here’s a snippet of what went down in those 10 minutes of darkness:

Me: You know, Meeno, no one can replace you.
Minden: [kisses].
Me: You’re my baby boy! You’ll ALWAYS be my baby boy.
Minden: Purrr, purrr [kisses].
Me: I love you. I love you so much.
Minden: [yawn] purr, purr, [kiss kiss kisses TONGUE IN MOUTH TONGUE IN MOUTH].
Me: Pft pft, NOT IN MY MOUTH, MEENO! For the love of EARTH, Mouth is OUT OF BOUNDS. Is it 10:00 yet?

Yes. That was one of the most exciting 10 minutes of my life.

Why did I shut my lights, computer, TV off for 10 minutes this evening? PROUD FM made me do it!

I do whatever they tell me to do…. Because they ROCK. I’m telling you, Gorgeouses. You should all live in Toronto JUST for this station. They play the best music, and I LOVE the hosts: I mean, what could be more entertaining than listening to two gay men talk about cottage life on Lake Minnicock (an actual lake in Haliburton, Ontario)?; and the Sunday morning Broadway show?; and did I mention the music?

I hope you danced to that…. I did…. With…. NEW HAIRCUT! Check it:

I was Miss Spontaneous today!

At the end of my insane daily ONE HOUR walk, I passed a hair salon. I stopped, tentatively looked inside, and in I walked — NO MAKEUP, PRACTICALLY IN PAJAMAS — and asked if they could fit me in NOW. Am I a guy, or what? What WO-MAN goes into a random hair salon and asks for a haircut…WITHOUT HER WALLET no less. “I’ll leave my ipod with you! MY CHILD! I promise I’ll come back and pay! I NEEEEED a haircut! Can you?”

They could! ANGELS, they are! And, I LOVE my haircut. Henry at Calia Hair Design did it. He LOVES LONG HAIR and FARA FAWCETT. So, he WON’T CHOP YOUR HAIR OFF WHEN YOU ASK HIM FOR A TRIM. Ahem — I’m still not over my traumatizing pregnancy haircut. Anyway, if you’re in the Toronto area, and you need a $55 dollar haircut (and, I mean, WHO CHARGES $55 ANYMORE? Hello, STEAL?!), check out Calia, and tell ‘em Cheaty sent you. Love!

I’m really into LARGE CAPS this post. Sorry?

Sigh. I’m having more fun blogging since I quit. Refreshed. Less pressure. No gossip to worry about. NOTHING to lose. This was a good decision. And, the whole thing was a good “practice.” “Collapse the structure so we can gradually rebuild,” indeed….
