hayley had her first day of school. i was really worried because she had such a hard time in daycare. she got kicked out because she wouldn't stop crying the whole time. i sent her for about a month, 3 times a week, 2 hours each time. she screamed right through the whole thing until they couldn't stand it anymore and sent her home. but she likes school. she went in and didn't cry at all. and she's going back tomorrow. she's in the special-ed pre-k at public school. lots of hyphens. there's only one other kid in her class, but there's three teachers. they might get more kids later on. my mom's going on a cruise next week so i have hayley all to myself. yay. my mom doesn't like curry, so i'm cooking a massive amount of indian food on tuesday. my brothers and my dad really like it and i've been wanting to see how i do with "ethnic" cooking. i'm gonna make moloi kafta, palak paneer, naan, chicken vindaloo, and some other things i can't pronounce. i bought actual saffron. it costs $12 for half a teaspoon. i feel so indulgent. i wanted to buy the cheaper substitute, turmeric, but oddly the HEB doesn't carry turmeric, just saffron. i have to go to austin for the cheap stuff this time. i feel all weird and reversey. and who in killeen can afford saffron anyway?! why is it being stocked? why? its one of the great mysteries of the universe. i need to make more protein bars. i have two left. i have to go to austin for dried fruit and soy powder and wheat germ and oat bran... and some other things. i have realized one of my life's ambitions. i now own a push-up bra. yes, i have dreamed of this moment for about 7 years. they never seemed to have one in my size, but yesterday i found the miraculous object at a wal-mart of all places and have purchased it. i will now wear it proudly. under a shirt. one without buttons.
