Two Lips

My DH bought me red tulips at the Farmer's market yesterday. They started out looking a bit limp, but have perked up wonderfully since I trimmed the stems and put them in water. Now I am waiting to see if they will grow. About 10 years ago, I had a mixed flower boquet with tulips in it, and by the end of a week they were a couple inches taller than the rest of the flowers. It's the only time I've seen cut flowers actaully grow.

No I Didn't Fall off the Face of the Earth

I just had some stuff come up that took my full attention and was too personal to post on a blog.

I am finally back to normal, after nearly 4 weeks of wackiness. I'm getting back into bellydancing, with the help of my DH and some DVD's from the library.

I've gotten in touch with someone who I went to collage with--she was doing her masters while I was an undergrad, and now we both live in the same town, within a mile of eachother. Go figure.

An old friend of DH's is in town and we may be going to dinner with him later this week, or I may let DH go while I stay home. Trying to decide. Hmm.

Oh, and btw, I'm selling my kayak and all the gear: if you know anyone who might be interested, let me know. I'm quite flexible on price--just want the stuff off my hands and out of my home!

Goose

I missed a turn today, and chose to park a block away from my destination and walk back. On the walk, I had to cross a bridge, and on the rail of that bridge was a goose. Just standing there. Serenely watching the cars go by. I gave it as wide a berth as I could on the narrow sidewalk, and it tolerated me, too. Wow. It was really cool. Maybe you had to be there. But it was really cool.

No Sodium

Never thought how hard a no sodium diet would be until I forgot the salt in my bread recipe. Ugh. I can tell it *would* have been delicious if only I had remembered that tiny amount of salt. But as it is . . . Adding salt on top just doesn't do it. Maybe I'll try making it sweet--execpt I usually don't want it sweet. If I wanted sweets, I'd make cookies or cake--and even those have some salt! I feel for anyone on a restricted salt diet.
