Adam's littlest fan

Adam Lambert's Littlest Fan - this is the cutest video.

The lovely weather does bring its casualties. M has already scooped up a dead bird in the backyard, we get at least one a year. Sometimes it's a squirrel in the road, that type of thing. One year, it was a mourning dove with a broken wing. We took it to the wildlife centre but they ended up just putting him down. Last year we got rid of our swing set. K noticed that a rabbit still comes to lounge on the spot where there was a bit of shelter under the swing. I suppose he's been doing that for many years...he must wonder what happened.

Well, I got a hair cut and colour today. I'm experimenting with various shades of brown. It's medium brown today and seems to work. L got an eyebrow- waxing, she now prefers that to threading, a lot less painful. I'm experimenting with some whole tilapia fish today. I understand from the fish monger that this variety is to be steamed rather than oven baked. I think I'll try microwaving it. We also have the promised take-out chicken wings. Earlier on I was checking out some baby toys for gifts...it brought back a lot of memories. I settled on some rattle type things, trying to remember what stuff my kids actually used. I bought them so many educational toys and they never used them, I was the one doing all the shape sorters and puzzles!

Glad you like your hair, its a never ending journey that. I have been all colours but always go back to blonde. Its more me I guess. Babies, oh its so long ago I woul not know where to start although I am looking forward to being a grandparent I have to say.

I have no real comfortable choices for me as far as hair color goes. I used to envy Caucasians who could choose hair color anytime they wanted with an array colors to choose from. Now that I could choose to color my grey away, I'm too lazy. Ah well...

Threading is less painful than waxing?!?!? Wow, we much have very different technicians! I can't bear waxing. But then again, I gave up on threading too and now have a great woman who tweezes. In my case, I can't tweeze my own brows with my reading glasses on and still be able to do a decent job-- Isn't getting old fun : )

Coloring my hair is next on the "to-do" list". I've put it off as long as possible and it's time to finally start. Any suggestions on the best way to go about it. I'm actually a little about it :-)

if you're like me, you'll recall that we were able to raise our kids without a lot of stuff. i'm amazed these days at the large number of things it takes to carry, tote and entertain a baby. i had none of this stuff and managed to raise two very intelligent, creative and independent children. oh well. i'll get off my soap box now. hee hee

Lilly, after many years of hair colouring (due to greying hair), I'm at the point where I think staying close to your natural hair colour is likely the best thing.

Kay, you don't seem to have a lot of grey as it is, lucky you!

Joanna, L finds waxing less painful than threading. I had to laugh about the tweezer dilemma. Hair colouring is not so bad, they recommend going a shade lighter than your natural colour. I do think it's important to match your skin tone, red is not for everyone!

Julie, you're so right, kids don't need all that stuff, especially at the prices they're charging for it.
