It is gorge outside, just to die for.  Went back to the Bel Air Market this week and picked up flowers for the yard.  They still don't have anything else yet other then herbs, greens, flowers, cakes and meats.  So no fruits and veggies that could make me a happy girl.  I did pick up some hamburger meat, BBQ, sausage and cheese along with the flowers.  It's local support, non hormone injected and cruelty free, so it was a semi win day.

I had to stop by and take care of the Bel Air Lucky Cats on the way back.  One of the girls needed her shift covered.  It appears that one of the older male kitties did get adopted.  So yay!

I returned home and spent several hours mowing, weeding, trimming and planting.  My Yard = Pretty and Pruned now.  I've got some marigolds, pansies, climbing vine flowers, some spiny weird looking plant....  Most of my flowers from last year are coming back so I didn't need too many.  Oh and a baby tomato plant.  Some of my indoor herbs are starting to sprout but I am worried about the outdoor ones.  I have a back up seed box just in case.  Lesson to you all, it helps to germinate the seeds if you can, seems to make a difference.

For those of you that were wondering about the hair cut that went a little wrong, here is a picture.  I asked for bangs yes, just not so short.  I asked for highlights yes, but not so many.  That odd angle cut shaping the front of my chin, no that I did not ask for.

I guess it's not the best picture because apparently everyone else thinks it is cute.  It is in a modster slash porcelain doll combo kinda way.  I don't think that was what I was going for though.

Good news on the beauty front is the fact that I have not bitten or peeled my nails in over 3 weeks.  I have nails!  I credit Sally Hansen  Maximum Growth for getting them there faster.  Whenever I do manage to keep my nails away from my mouth this product does make a huge difference.

While we are on this mini beauty review I might as well add that Magic Hands Workshop has a vanilla body butter that is to die for.  Smells like cupcake batter, yummmy.

Speaking of yummy, if you are looking for a nice cool drink this summer you should try this tea recipe I just made.

2. In a glass add pomegranate seeds and crush slightly.
3. Add ice, lemon and vodka to glass.
4. Add the tea sugar mixture to glass.
5. Stir and enjoy!

I'm off to get ready for Shaun's belt test tonight.  We are all about support yo, but man I am not looking forward to sitting through the test.  When I took martial arts at the exact same school it was long doing it, let alone sitting through it.  Maybe I'll get lucky and it'll be a smaller testing class this month.
