Well...I don't really have it anymore. I now have bangs. It looks more 50's than anything. For some reason I just had the urge to cut them over the weekend. Something a little different.
Ernie's reaction was, "You look like Robbie." Robbie being one of his ex-girlfriends. Nice. Thanks honey.
Anyway, hair grows back, that's what it does. It grows. So no biggie, just a little change for right now.

No More Banjo Blues
Today I got a banjo!
Soon I will be a pickin' and a grinnin'. I can't wait. Anyone coming to the farm for 4th of July weekend will get a chance to see it in action. I am going to try my best to get through some of the Banjo for Beginners book that Ernie brought home before the weekend. Wonder if I can get a little tune memorized in time.
Not sure why I wanted the banjo. I just always wanted one. My Aunt Marjorie had one. When I was growing up I always thought it was so cool that she could play the banjo. And she lived on a farm too. Maybe I have been channeling her lately.

Josette's Meme
Don't ask me what a Meme is, I don' t know. But Josette threw one my way and it is sort of like a challenge. Reminds me of those e-mail chains that come around asking What is your favorite iced cream flavor? What did you eat for breakfast yesterday? etc. A getting-to-know-you-type thing if you will. Of course, coming from Josette this has a literary bent. So here is everything you never wanted to know about me and my literary past, present and future.
1. Estimate the total number of books you've owned in your life.
This is an impossible question. I guess your intellectual prowess is based on how wittily (is this a word?) you answer rather than the actual number of books you have ever owned. Ernie's answer was approximately half as many as the number of records and CDs, I might have to agree. However, as a kid I was a voracious reader and had many, many books before he and I met that I have since parted company with. So let's just say Lots.
2. What's the last book you bought?
The Time Travelers Wife. Purchased at JFK en route to Los Angeles. Still reading it. Having trouble getting into it. I am just not really that interested in Clare and Henry to tell you the truth.
3. What's the last book you read?
That Mysterious Dog in the Night thing that everyone has read. It was a nice quick read. Entertaining. I have always liked British lit. Good beach read. Though God knows why I see everyone on the train reading this book. It wasn't fabulous or anything. Nothing that will become a literary classic by any means.
4. List 5 books that mean a lot to you.
1. The Complete Works of William Shakespeare, by you know who.
2. Florence Nightingale, don't know who wrote this one or where I got it from. I would guess my Great Grandmother probably gave it to me. I read this book 17 times (literally) when I was about 8 or 9 years old. The first book I ever read more than once. I think it instilled in me that need to always "save" people whether they ask for it, or need it, or not.
3. The Outsiders by SE Hinton. This one I read at least 20 times. I also was a big fan of the movie. Oh yeah. I had posters of Ralph, Matt, Tom, Emilio, C. Thomas, and Patrick plastered on my walls for at least 2 years. When we read this book in 7th grade I got straight As on every assignment. I could identify with those Greasers. Their need to fit in but their inability to conform. Yes, beautiful.
4. Tibetan Book of Living and Dieing. This book has gotten me through lot's of tough times.
5. I can't think if a 5th. Everything I want to put stems from my youth: Chronicles of Narnia, Charlotte's Web, Are you There God? It's Me Margaret, My Friend Flicka. It is so sad that in adulthood I haven't read many books that mean anything to me whatsoever. Maybe I have become so jaded with age that I am unreachable? Or maybe I just always choose to read crappy books.
Next I am supposed to tag 5 people with this Meme. I only know one other Blogger who hasn't already been tagged, and that would be Steph. So go for it girl!

It's Been So Long
Geesh. It has been so long since I posted anything that I almost forgot how to log in. What the hell have I been doing?
These past few weeks have been busy with coast to coast travel for the E3 Convention (see pics in previous posts) , and visits with my sister and brother, weekends at the farm dealing with things like a busted water line, moving and staff changes at work, you know, the usual.
If you didn't receive an E-vite, you are now officially invited to 4th of July weekend at Adzentoivich Woods. We are having an open house type of weekend where everyone is welcome to show up Saturday, Sunday, Monday, or any combination of the three. If you are interested leave a comment here to let me know and I will send you the E-vite with the details (please include your e-mail address. If I didn't send you one it is because either I have an old address for you or I have no address for you at all).
Hopefully I will have some things to write about in the near future. I know simply posting pics is a lame way to keep a blog up. These days my brain just feels fried from the heat and the humidity that I don't have a creative thought to contribute. Sorry!

Ernie Plants Tomatoes in the Rain
Thunder and lightning too. Which ended as soon as we finished planting and putting our supplies away.
