Today I am celebrating an interesting year. I am not a mathematician by any stretch of the imagination, although I have managed to solve a quadratic equation. Still, numbers fascinate me.
It started the year I turned 49. It was significant as a jubilee year. Forty-nine is also a square number. But squares are so even, so that year I was square and odd. I went to Paris and got my hair done!
I actually went to England for a week and took the bus from London to Paris. I wanted to see the “White Cliffs of Dover” and Dover is where we got on the ferry! What an adventure.
I spent the morning at the Cathedral of Notre Dame, just sitting, knitting and thinking. It was good. Then I went looking for a hair salon to get my hair cut.
The salon is located on the Louvre side of the river. It is on a street that had a garden center on the left corner. I bought some lettuce seeds there – they were a great souvenir. There was also a grapevine outside the store.
Getting my hair done all those years ago is one of the best adventures of my life. It is a great story and I am glad I went to Paris just to get my hair done. Everything else was gravy!
I bring this up because today I begin my year of being both square and cubed. I’ll leave it there, but the idea of that makes my heart do a little leap of joy and I have been humming songs about it all day. I have also been working on my vision board.
Today I worked on rearranging my personal space (See top right corner) to accommodate a DIY Murphy bed. I got the hardware from Easy DIY Murphy Beds, The lumber finally got ordered this week and should arrive tomorrow! I am so excited to see this happen in the next week!
Stay tuned for the rest of the adventure. I will keep you posted!
Cheers,
Marcia
