Two: I started following the Curly Girl method of hair care as of Saturday night! No more shampoo or hair brushes for me! For those of you who haven't heard of it and are naturally curly, wavy, of have always wondered why your hair is what I call "foofy" (a mix of poofy and frizzy) and wouldn't lay as nice and flat as 'all the other girls' hair', I would recommend checking out YLCF's 'Got Curl?' page to learn more about the Curly Girl method. I'd never heard about it until I clicked on the Got Curl? link one day after thinking, "Hey, I'm part of the curly 'club' now!" After reading through the links and then getting a copy of the Curly Girl book for myself, I decided to give it a shot and see what happens. From what I've read, CG doesn't work perfectly for everyone, and I may have some discouraging 'bad hair' days in the process, as my hair has to get used to not being stripped daily by the sulfates in most shampoos, but we will see in six weeks what kind of an impact my new routine has had on my hair. I'm hoping it will be quite a bit less foofy. I'll keep everyone posted, and will try to post pictures along the way! If you decide to give it a try, please let me know!
Three: Peanut Butter Cup experienced the wonderful world of crayons for the first time yesterday! Boy, was he excited about coloring! Obviously he doesn't quite have the concept and coordination down yet, but he make some scribbles. :-) He only tried to put a crayon in his mouth once (that I saw), but I'm sure the more he plays with them the more often that will happen -- for a while at least. It was exciting to see how his eyes lit up when I first gave one to him and showed him how to draw on the paper. Unfortunately I didn't take any pictures because I didn't want to leave him alone with the paper and the crayons (since I already know he likes to eat paper, ha ha). Hopefully next time!
Four: I pulled my fiddle out of it's case and played it for the first time in about a year a couple of weeks ago! It felt good! I've missed playing it . . . I just wish I had more time -- and could find all of my sheet music, as currently I'm only able to play whatever I can remember. I think I know the general area where my sheet music is hiding, but haven't had a chance to go digging for it as the only time I have really is after Peanut Butter Cup goes to sleep for his naps or bedtime, and searching for it would make too much noise.
Five: DH should be done with his progression as of tonight -- as long as the weather holds! Basically what that means is that instead of always having to fly with an instructor pilot (IP) he will be able to fly with any (progressed) pilot. That is pretty exciting for him! So, we are hoping and praying that the weather will clear so he will be able to fly tonight (he's been flying nights lately) and be DONE. It will take a LOT of extra stress of of DH to be finished with progression . . . Lord willing it won't be dragged out for another week.
I hope everyone has had a good start to their week! :-)
P.S. I'm such a Ditz!! I went to link up at Lowercase Letters and titled my post as "Miscellany Monday" instead of the title of my blog! :-p HA HA!! I was wondering how everyone else's links were the title of their blog -- I just read "Post Title" and took it literally! Well, at least I know now! :-)
