That's right... now I remember.
May. 30th, 2009 03:39 pmWow, the rest of the world sure is lucky... you all get this every week?? Two days off, in a row?? To relax, or do stuff around the house, or go shopping, if you want? WOW.
I am having a wonderful weekend. All sorts of good things are happening. I think my brain is back. I finally (after 2 years) made it to the Farmer's Market in town this morning, and came home with three different varieties of cucumber (an heirloom mini white pickling, some other sort of novelty pickling, and a modern Marketmore 76 for slicing), and a 'Pineapple' tomato plant. Also an heirloom variety, it's a yellow/red bicolor, supposedly attributed to the Amish. The grower who sold it to me grows about 95 different varieties, and he says this one is his favorite. It's a beautiful little plant... a softer and nicer looking green than many of the others. Excited, I am! I think the garden is pretty much planted, now all it needs to do is GROW. The peas are starting to come into it a bit, after three days of rain...
Finished pseudo-sleeves on three dresses for the local dance troupe's upcoming performance and visited rehearsal to see if they actually fit the ladies who are supposed to be wearing them. They do! With a few minor tweaks. Not bad, for being my first time working off measurements only, on people I've never seen before in my life...
Went off to the mall to find some hairsticks, and do a little bit of retail therapy... I did find hairsticks, and a jacket that is quite simply made of Awesome. At H&M, a store I have never heard of and probably never would have gone into had I not seen a mildly interesting dress in the front window... Then I saw The Jacket. Black (also in khaki, but not anywhere near as fantastic), big brushed brass buttons up the front, on the sleeves, and on the band in the back, with asymmetrical closure and pockets that are actually functional. It didn't take much to talk myself into it. Eee! Jacket Love! (H&M is apparently a European chain, which explains why things actually fit me, and the styles were different than things I've seen recently.)
In kitchen news, the honey wheat bread is excellent, the chocolate chip oatmeal cookies I made last night are delicious, and the strawberry rhubarb jam that will shortly be bubbling on the stove is sure to be tasty as well... Amazingly enough, I think the kitchen is actually cleaner and more organized now than it was when I started all these projects yesterday. Hrm...
Edit: Almost forgot... lunchtime Good Thing: I got an extra piece of salmon with my sushi order. And the sun came out halfway through lunch. Made my day, seriously. Doesn't take much at the moment. :)
