female coach

finaaaally friday. it is weird, while the months are flying by, it seems like each day is slow. i feel like the last few weeks i've been, how is it only tuesday? but here it is march 12th. seriously! but it is a super yucky rainy weekend here but earlier this week it was gorgeous! so i can't complain. spring is on the way. and this weekend is time change! yesss, not getting dark until later.

earlier this week was winter sports awards and it was a fun night. to hear a little about each other sports season and then each team broke off and we did our own thing. coach and i talked about each of the kids and then their awards and the 2 seniors/captains gave out team awards. and then i was shocked. to thank me (i was a volunteer coach) coach got me new ski poles, reallly nice gloves, goggles and then a ski tuning kit with wax, sharpeners. so now i wish it wasn't spring and i could go skiing to use all my new toys. i can't wait for next season. but the kids all made me laugh talking about me and thanking me. and one of the boys started calling me female coach early on in the season and it kinda stuck. and all the kids were calling me it by the end. and the nickname makes me laugh. i do miss ski season.

and then the other day i got my haircut. and i did something i did 8 years ago when i was a junior in high school. i dyed my hair. i'd been frustrated with it recently. it was dull and just blaaah. my mom suggested some color or highlights to give it some uuumph. so i went to the salon and got it done by the woman whose been doing my hair since i was 13 and wow, does it make a difference. recently i'd been going to a new place because i hate paying $50 for a haircut. but she is so good and it comes out so much better than the cheaper places. so after getting her opinion and her telling me to go with a semi-permanent dye (she knows i don't want to deal with roots) and letting her pick a color. i went with it. and i LOVE it! it is a bit darker with a hint of redish in it.

after before

and this week is quiet, going to the outlets with erin tomorrow in the pouring rain, driving to pa to see twin this weekend and her new apartment! yay! and it is going to be a good week. i have a field trip on thrursday/friday and then RIVERDANCE on saturday with erin. and then matt and i are doing something. and this wednesday is also st. partick's day but i probably won't be doing anything. all i want to do on wednesday is be at sin e with a pint of beamish and listening to a trad session.

any fun weekend plans?
