I got a haircut! Yay. I know I'm growing it out, but a haircut like the one I had, when it grows out, can grow into a very scary thing. In fact, since some portions of everyone's hair grow faster than others, mine was turning into A MULLET. You couldn't tell this from the way it looked when I fixed it properly, but to wear a hat, I was flipping the bottom layer out so it would stick out from underneath a hat...and it looked VERY mullet without the hat on. Not cool. The stylist agreed with me. It was a simple trim; she took 2 full inches off the bottom layer and then evened the layers up so they were more cohesive and not just a bunch of weird wispy things all running in different directions. Probably photos for you tomorrow.


Just back in from planting more flowers (which is why you get no photos NOW). I have a basket on my porch, hanging from one of the rails. It's a metal frame, so it has to have a coconut fiber basket in it, and last year's was totally eaten by birds. Momma brought me a new one, as well as some of her old hanging baskets from last year, and a flat of begonias (half of them with the GORGEOUS bronze foliage I love so much). So my total is this:

2 hanging baskets with 4 begonias each (1 on each end of the clothesline)
1 impatien (variegated coral & white!) in a gnome planter on the porch
5 begonias in the porch rail planter
3 impatiens in a porch bowl
4 impatiens in each of 2 large planters at the front door
1 large round planter & 1 long narrow planter of Red Sails & Black-seeded Simpson lettuce on back porch
Impatiens, begonias, and asiatic lilies in flowerbed below back porch

And on the swimming pool deck, the only place I have full sun:
1 Cherokee purple tomato
1 sweet basil
2 black opal basil

YAAAAAAAY! If I had my way, I'd line the walls of the swimming pool deck with planters and put all the full-sun flowers I want up there. I may run the idea by Momma; she's as fond of plants as I am. I'd really like the deck to look like the hanging gardens of Babylon, honestly. ^o^


Tonight we're going over to Momma's house to eat steaks & french fries (I think I'm gonna bring over some broccoli too because I feel like eating some) and watch "Rise of the Lycans". Fun times.


Did you know that Hershey's brought back the Reese's Darks? OMG so much yum. They don't say anything about being limited edition, and it's a DARK CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER CUP.

You see this? It is my day being made. O yes it is. Now Ganon & I will BOTH be on a constant quest for "cupcups." Yes, we still call them "cupcups", and no, we do not baby talk him. Cupcups was just too cute not to keep, and we're allowed ONE silly, adorable word he made up. It won't ruin him for kindergarten. ^o^

OMG HE'S GOING TO BE 3 IN JULY I'M SO FREAKED. What happened to mah bebbeh, and where did I get this little boy? This little boy who, when Mama is not looking, climbs into the barstool where I keep my laptop to play with it. How do I know this? Because I did not help him take these photos. To the contrary, I did NOT KNOW he was taking these pictures until I sat down earlier and looked at Photobooth. This had to be days ago; that's the last time he wore this shirt.

Me: ...shut up.

I'm envious of your flowers, they sound lovely.
