Have decided to go with a blunt cut and still have my shaved hair underneath to help cool me off...trying to grow it out this year. I finally found Vicki Howells Chunky 3 hour cowl, going to try that pattern. I have been wanting to make some really chunky cowls this year with some yarn I have on hand....
I also was able to set up my new waterproof iPod...
So G-boy starts Kindergarten this year, and G-ma wanted to buy him some clothes. We brought him a REALLY cool desk that WGB found for him (as he tells me HE doesn't have any G-boys! wink wink) and G-boy had woken up on the wrong side of the bed. sigh. But he was sporting a new hair cut...BUZZZZZZZZZ
Seems his mom just buys him clothes and if they fit they fit...me I tortured the kid by making him try on the pants and shirts! LOL Especially since the size they thought he was, was not his pants size, he is small. While I tried to encourage him that his uncle Vernon who he adores, does this and has shirts and pants like that too! That it was cool...he had a pout session and learned quickly that drama doesn't phase G-ma and G-ma seems to get her way because she is old and stubborn and has the check book! LOL Plus I was going to take photos of him doing this and he got REALLY upset...he wanted NO DOCUMENTATION that he was having a melt down in the dressing room! (I was giggling under my breath) Oh and did I mention the trying ON of shoes? the world was going to end! Snort Well after all was said and done, 2 new nice pants, 3 dress shirts, 6 casual shirts, 12 socks, 6 underware, 6 undershirts and a pair of shoes! G-ma was POOPED!
After the torture the child episode we went to Staples and we forget HOW LITERAL children can be. We pulled up and the WGB said "Ok were here to Staple you!" as a joke...G-boy thought he was SERIOUS...so I guess we were back to the torture the child thing! Snort
So after that step in the shit moment, we took him to a nice lunch at Claim Jumpers! That at least turned out to be ok, he at least enjoyed that experience and had his drawing item, they gave him coloring books and crayons so all things were good. I had a pomegranet sangria that was HUGE and forgot the bad stuff of the day! snort!
So the biggest hit of the day WAS his desk...
Then off for Chef Chu's take out! The rest of the day was spent doing the book covers! I was able to paint 10 more covers and and now have 10 of them mostly collaged and waiting for their photos. I am enjoying the way they are turning out! I think they are going to be really nice!
portion control, water pill, walking...loose clothes! I am inspired by the way my clothes are fitting me now! This is so big I can't wear the skirt anymore! Yeah! And my hair is growing out and it still looks good! Yippee Today 4,017 steps. At least I am getting some results for my efforts!
I also got a great surprise in the mail today! An altered post card from Loretta! I love it!!! AND my Trumpet plant is really blooming!!! It is so beautiful and smells so good, I am glad that I didn't give up on it, it took two years but I have blooms!!! And the smell until the rotten egg smell from the Bay comes up.
I think I love it! I had wanted the back even shorter...like shaved! But it is more blunt...I just wanted it shorter...we will get there...by the time I do I am sure Winter will set in! LOL I took my breaks at the end of the day to take off early which I didn't need to because I was WAY too early getting there...but with the 4th stuff happening I figured it would be packed! Tomorrow is a holiday so no work! So lets begin the weekend!
Healthy Dinner again tonight: Egg Beaters and bell peppers, Turkey Sausage, 16 grain toast!
A Month of Hands ::Day 2/31::
Ah...got up, readied myself, ran around like a chicken without my head attached. Left and got up to Pleasanton, CA around noon. My friend Fan was ready to go to lunch, she had the rest of the day off. We went to the Cheese Cake Factory and I had a nice salad AND the piece of cheese cake!!! YUM We did some errands...got her a new purse and we went to Michael's so I could get a glue gun, I am standing in line when I realize and scream LISA!!! Lisa Kettell was standing in front of me with her mom! LOL
I couldn't believe it! How wonderful to see her! But sadly it was because the airline lost her luggage, hence our art supplies for class! bad bad airline! It was a direct flight! so WTF was that about!?
Then Fan and I went to her house talked to her mom for a bit then she drove me back to Pleasanton for the Gallery. I got to go to American Harvest bought a little charm and a Paris Eiffle tower...in glitter! It was a good day. I met up with Yvonne and Jennifer who I met LAST year, but they didn't take classes last year, they invited me to dinner and we had a wonderful experience!!! Jennifer paid for me, how nice was that!? It was so fun having dinner with them great great laughs! Great night...even though I continued to swell! Sigh.
When we got back to the gallery Jon had stopped singing, Yvonne is such a kick he said he would sing us one song, and it was the wedding band song. He was SO sweet to do that for us! So the photo has Jennifer on the left and Yvonne on the right!

Ah, Happy Earth Day. It was a decent day, we walked to lunch with the big boss and had a nice experience at Don Giovanni's. Always good food! Swelling like crazy...sigh...tires me out. I wore one of my fav dresses, had to have Sherry zip me up when I got there! LOL And today I was gifted a beautiful perfect purple rose in my garden! Ooosh! So wonderful!
