big clematis
got my chi flowing again today via some yoga and a whole bunch of shopping. and cleaning. i feel i have disposed well of most of my cleaning duties for the weekend. i have some carne asada marinating in the fridge for tomorrow. tres de mayo. i actually found it rather hard to pinpoint a carne asada recipe online. turns out there are a million different ways to approach it -- beer, onions, lime, cumin, cilantro, orange juice, you name it. i went with a very basic cilantro, lime, and garlic approach.
i got two great compliments today. one was at ross, where a large but stylish woman in black was behind the checkout counter. she looked at my id and said, "wow, is that you? you look so much better now!" yay. in longs, the checker expressed delight at my recently dyed black and white hair, calling it "cute." also yesterday, when sarah did my hair, she was overjoyed at the results. i can dig that.
i am fretting about hemlines. i find the hemline between knee and calf to seem a little frumpy to me. eros insists it looks fine. i am thinking about enlisting my mom to help raise the hemlines on the two black dresses i got at ross substantially.
cris has a new laptop and is suitably engaged with it and with planning music for the show.
i feel more alive than i have in two weeks. tomorrow i have made my artist date -- i am going to the arcata farmer's market in the morning and buying fresh produce.
i have plans for getting some clematis in the next two months. they now have clematis that have huge 5-6 inch flowers in deep burgundies and purples. they look hard to grow but on the other hand they like shade. i might attempt one. a sample:
this post has been entirely fluffy. i think the anti-asthma steroids are partly to blame. i feel a bit like i am on amphetamines. yesterday i REALLY felt this effect; today i am off the prednisone so it is less noticeable. i still had the urge to clean, however.
