Happy Monday!!The weekend after a holiday weekend always seems so short! At least it didn't rain TOO much this weekend... and it's not supposed to rain today! I took advantage of the non-rainy day Sunday to FINALLY get my herbs in order. I ended up having to replace all my "old" herbs... they did not ever recover from the winter above-ground in pots. Not too surprising, really, since for almost a month the pots were completely covered in snow. So I took a trip to the local garden store, and spent a $15 gift certificate my mom had gotten from one of her students. THANKS MOM!!! I'm hoping there'll be enough light to keep these guys going... notice the cat paw prints in the basil?
So I'll cross my fingers and hope these little guys thrive in the apartment. I LOVE having fresh herbs to cook with... plus, I love having plants around, so if I can make them culinarily-useful plants, even better. Of course, Cricket would argue that the fern is VERY tasty... I did (surprise surprise) get a good amount of knitting done this weekend too... although no pictures. On Saturday night I watched Billy Elliot... a charming movie... and got a good deal done on another swatch. On Sunday, I watched Bourne Identity... I started the movie working on my mom's vest, but quickly realized the movie was WAY too gripping for something I needed to concentrate on... I'm at the decreases for the armhole and v-neck, so lots to keep track of. So I switched to a sock, and knit away like mad, especially during the exciting moments! All-in-all, a VERY enjoyable movie. On Saturday, I finally got sick of my hair, and walked over to the Hair Cuttery to take care of it. My hair is perfectly straight (just try to curl it. With anything. It will LAUGH at you.) and very fine... I think the stylist called it "baby fine." ANYWAY, when it gets to a certain length, the ends get too thin, and it breaks off. So my hair pretty much trims itself... but eventually, the ends get gross. Anyone with long hair will understand what I mean. Also, since my hair is so thin, NO volume or body. AT ALL. So I got about six inches chopped off, and got some long layers put in to give it some "oomph." So now I love my hair again. :) Lest you think she wasted the brief sunbeams this weekend, Cricket submits as evidence: 
Shortly after I took this picture, I gave her a good rub... and almost burned my hand! One advantage to being a black kitty is that she can make full use of solar energy. I'm actually surprised she didn't start to smoke. 0 comments || # |
