The Not Very Complicated Woman's Daybook

By -

I am thinking: If I was younger I'd have my hair chalked.  
Outside my window - some little thing is chewing up my Joe Pye Weed leaves.....

In the kitchen- there is sunscreen on the counter and there is an OFF personal Fan. 

I am Wearing- my hew hairdo.  My new stylist colored it just about perfectly yesterday. 
The base is ash and the highlights are blonde!

I am creating - this post.....I told you it wasn't going to be complicated! 

I am going- to get the car emissions tested.
It isn't too thrilling either!!

I am wondering-how long it will take Beatles to fall for Pie. Tank already has fallen for her. 

I am reading-up on how to integrate the kitten into the household. 

I am hoping-the coolfront comes in early today and we can enjoy the windows being open and the porch tonight

I am looking forward to- today!  plain and simple with whatever it holds for me

I am hearing- the hum of the floor fan in the kitchen.  

Around the house-the cats are conserving their energy in the  heat

Quote for the day: from Erma Bombeck

• Giving birth is little more than a set of muscular contractions granting passage of a child. Then the mother is born.
Good luck to all the new mom's out there today.

I love this quote, good pick. I am reading blogs instead of doing paperwork. I am working on the Clapo-Ktus shawl and loving it. I am waiting to go to the Doctor's later for a sinus infection. And last but not least I am taking it easy today, a bit too easy, but easy.
Hugs to you and Hooray about your hair.
Hugs,
Meredith

Doesn't it feel wonderful when you LOVE your hair?

I just found a new stylist. He works miracles with my mess of cowlicks!

I was talking to a woman about your age this morning. She had a purple strand of hair falling below her left ear. It was a little distracting but very pretty.

I wonder if the little thing that is eating your Joe Pye Weed plant is the same type of little thing that is eating my Bok Choy.

Enjoy the perfect hair!! May we see?

Good quote!!

Yeah, where's the photo? Ha. Isn't it great when you feel good about the way your hairdresser gets it right!! I also enjoy hearing about little Pie.

Thanks for the info about chalking! I didn't know what those unusual colors were called. Glad you like your "new" hair, too. How about a photo? Have a good weekend.

Wow, that's a rather spectacular hair photo. I think you should go rainbow next time around.

Hooray for the cool front - can't get here soon enough for us! We want to open our windows too. :)

I'm hoping for the cold front, too. Heck, I would accept a not so hot front because I am melting in my house. My floor and ceiling fans are whirring so loud, I can't carry on a conversation.

Every Once in a While I Might Post

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
