...these are a few of my favorite things!

Today was a full day. First, I ate oatmeal. Not just any oatmeal; it was Kashi's honey almond oatmeal mixed with regular oatmeal, AND I ate it in one of my new bowls from Anthropologie.

I needed that oatmeal to fuel the rest of my day, because... by 7:30am, I was out the door with Lucy to get her spayed. After dropping her off, I got a much-needed oil change for my car. Then, killed some time at Target before my hair appointment.

Yes, I got another haircut AND I like it! No, I love it! Never again am I going to cheap Asian places. Not because they can't cut hair, I just think their sense of style is different. If I let them do what they want, they inevitably give me shaggy mousy tails, and I don't like mousy tails, at least not on my head. I'm anxious the whole time I'm there and I give them all sorts of directions that I think I want and I end up with something I only complain about. But Michelle—I totally trust her, and she explains everything she's doing! I was actually just going in for a bang trim, but I asked her what she would do if she were to cut my hair short (something I've been aching to do), and she described all the neato things she had in mind, and I said, "Okay, let's go for it!" She snipped, razor bladed, and calls it a "shattered bob", inspired by Lily Allen's new 'do... and the whole time I didn't flinch! (Sadly, Michelle is actually moving back to San Diego at the end of this month... WHY?!?)

Then, I "ran errands" at Nordstrom Rack and Nordstrom (aka "shopped"). Then picked up Lucy, who, poor thing, is still super groggy and uncomfortable.

And then tried my hand at risotto for the first time, which, I think, turned out really well!

I just realized this post is full of my favorite things—food, Lucy, and shopping. hm, I should include Wayne in here somewhere... uh... Wayne mowed the lawn and pulled lots of weeds while I was cooking. Thanks, sweetheart!
