feeling shaggy

About a month ago, I had to bring in a rolling pin for work. Today, I brought in a straightening iron – something that most girls would use on their hair. Not me. I will be using it to develop some new air bag technology. Mwahahah!

Old Navy had summer stuff on sale for a dollar this weekend. So I bought a pair of shorts and a tank top. I also bought 2 turtleneck sweaters (dark brown and a dark muted purple), a v-neck sweater (sea foam green), and a short sleeved t-shirt (rose), but those were not as deeply discounted.

I also got some stuff at Barnes and Noble. I loooove their bargain book selection. I found a book of 90 classical piano pieces for $13 (you could expect to normally pay $30-$40) and a book about 6 scientists (Copernicus, Newton, Curie, Einstein, and 2 others I can’t remember but are still important) and their struggles and discoveries.

I cooked dinner for Joe and Angela on Friday night. I made catfish soup, sort of like what they serve at Mi Pueblo near Case, and something I call “hot salad”. It was fresh baby spinach (sans e. coli), warm white rice, with warm stir fried ground turkey, ginger, garlic, green peppers, scallions, and mushrooms. J and A are fun to cook for because they are appreciative and not picky. I made my mom’s best caramel brownie recipe, which is so good that I added it to my personal cookbook.

I finished sewing all the patches for my shower curtain together. Now my problem is that the edges are really uneven and I need to make a hem all the way around. More thinking time is needed. (Besides the unevenness, I think the fabrics look GORGEOUS together and I can’t wait to finish it and hang it up.)

I need a hair cut.
