Hair

OK, so I got this great haircut on Wednesday, so I instinctively wanted to dye my hair to go with the new “look.”

But luckily, you need to have clean hair to dye, so I jumped into the shower only to discover that the process begins with dry hair. Then I thought about it some more, and I realized that it was certainly laughable that I was dyeing my hair, when I have so few hairs that I could pluck out the offending parties.

So I have my dye, but I really don’t think now is the time.

I imagine there will be some morning where there’s more grey than I’m comfortable with, and then I’ll do it. It’s difficult, trying to understand the ageing process. Wow, all these words that end in “eing.” It’s making me uncomfortable.

Had a good weekend, saw “Be Kind Rewind,” a silly Jack Black film, but one that actually left me with a tear in the eye. Mowed the lawn — at our house at this time of the year, that’s an achievement, let me tell you. Last spring, we put it off so long that we literally had to scythe it down in May. It was an unfortunate situation. So getting the lawn done today was a major achievement. And hubby did all the dishes.

While I made a yummy mango-blueberry-blackberry-strawberry-banana smoothie. Sounds great, huh? I buy frozen berries so I get the insta-cold temperature. And hubby is trying to eat more calorically-nutritious things, so I added a scoop of soy protein powder, vanilla flavored. You wouldn’t believe how delicious it smells!

So I had lots of salad greens, after making my favorite Jamie Oliver Asian salad. Delish!

And we had a wonderful not-Easter brunch of:

two egg omelettes: mine with zukes, pepper, and cheese

hash browns from fresh potatoes

Kona coffee

fresh orange slices

It was a simple day full of simple food, but it was far from ordinary.
