D.I.Y.

Today I had a totally lazy day.  I slept in until about 11, as I like to do on Saturdays, and then got up and went for a waffle with Beth.  By the time I ate it and ran a few errands it was 2pm.  Was going to pick up my packages from the post office on the way in to school (yes, I had to go to school for a couple hours to print some stuff off. )  Realized too late that the post office closes at 1pm on Saturday.  Sorry Mom, I'm guessing those are from you.  I hope they're not too perishable.  I'll have to get them Tuesday instead.

Went for dinner with Carol and Karen at a place near our house.  Fun to sit outside - the evenings are lovely here.
 

Beth recently noticed this doggy public toilet, which was near the restaurant.  Good idea, huh?

I thought it was funny how they just had all the veggies stacked up out front.  Pretty chaotic.  Can you see how these people have a wok on their table?  Some people were eating hotpot style, but we just ordered pre-cooked dishes.  

We had some good stuff, lots of veggies too, cause Carol knows Beth and I like them.  Had some bok choy with garlic, roasted spicy tofu, roasted chicken, some noodles - all tasty.  Then we went to another place for dessert.  I got tofu-fa.  Yum!

Angie has noticed my propensity for wanting to do things without help (Do It Yourself) and takes everyone opportunity to tease me about it.   In fact we've added a letter, now it's D.I.Y., F. - which means Do It Yourself, Fool.  Tonight was my first attempt at dying my hair myself.  I started dying the underside red with henna about 6 years ago and up until today I always had Jay do it for me.  (Mom and Cat also helped on a couple occasions.)  I underestimated how messy and difficult it would be, and Angie did help me by holding the mirror so I could see the back.  But I think it's ok.  We'll find out in the morning.  Here's a shot of the henna mix (looks like goose poo) and the gloves I used.  See how quickly they get stained?  My neck and ears may well look like that tomorrow.
