Exhibit 1: Me, looking rather bleary-eyed about 10 minutes ago at midnight after working on my minor's counsel paper for a solid seven hours. Todd got home from work (Sharks match in San Jose) and he took a picture of my new bangs in all of their disheveled, tired glory.
But it's nice to take time - once in awhile - to get a cut and color, and just relax in a chair with a tabloid magazine and a very chatty stylist who is an expert at scalp massage, and happens to be three and a half months pregnant. Thursday afternoon was very enjoyable. Even though it meant that working on my paper is what I'm doing Saturday night!
Last weekend, before seeing Quantum of Solace, we took a loooong walk all over San Francisco (Chinatown! North Beach! Financial District! Ferry Marketplace Building!) and everything was becoming so Christmas-y. There was even quite a nip in the air!
We gazed off across the Bay behind the Ferry building...
Saw the just-opened ice-skating rink in the middle of union square (with scads of youngsters lining up to skate before it opened!), which is reminiscent of Frog Pond on Boston Common...
And saw a brave team of tree lighters/ trimmers attempting to corral the massive Christmas tree, shape it, and put millions of small white lights around all of its branches... 
Next week is Thanksgiving and as of Monday, when I turn in my final paper (at least until December 5!), all I am going to be thinking about is Disneyland, Thanksgiving at Knott's and at the apartment with the most wonderful Mr. and Mrs. Enlow (can't wait to help with those Gocco-ed menus! and Todd found a great recipe for a spin on cranberry sauce in the new Food Network Magazine!), USC football with Todd's family, and cruising down PCH in a Mustang convertible (we feel slightly guilty about diverging from our usual Prius-renting ways, but hey, being able to put the top down is just too tempting!).
