wednesday
I invited art group over to my house yesterday so I could experiment with giving henna tattoos. It was a lot of fun but the tattoos themselves didn't turn out very well - my recipe for the henna wasn't very good - didn't stick well and was maybe too runny. They looked okay when first applied, then some of them spread out too much and I doubt that they dyed the skin very well.
Milo and flea update: The Frontline just was not working. I was putting it on every 2 weeks and he was still swarming with fleas. Last night Gabe and I shaved the top half of him (he wouldn't let us get to the bottom half) but that was enough to lessen the volume of hair and this morning I put a dose of Advantage on him and Oo-tapo. The fleas are dying and falling off all over the place today. Thank goodness. I hated thinking of those fleas on him. They don't seem to bother Oo-tapo - maybe it's the difference between fine extra thick long hair (Milo) and regular cat hair (Oo-tapo) - the Frontline did work on Oo-tapo (I think it did anyway - maybe I just couldn't see black fleas on a black cat).
Last night Gabe and I biked around Lake Wilhelm - 12.5 miles - very little flat terrain - lots of ups and downs. There were about 5 hills I couldn't make it up and had to walk the bike to the top but it was a lot of fun going down all the hills. I would definitely do it again and I think Gabe would too.
I got 4 more jewelry orders in the last 2 days. Busy. Going to take a break and watch Baraka now - looks really interesting - just music and fascinating images from around the world. We watched a little of it this morning.
