I Want Your Horror...
It is a beautiful day outside! The weather is around 0*C, the sun is shining, and not a breeze to be found. I'm almost tempted to go for a bike ride. However, I have more fear of drivers now that the snow is out than I would normally. We'll see if I do go. Maybe I'll just take the dogs for a walk or something.
Speaking of the dogs, I'm trying my hand at making them a treat that I loved as a kid...deer jerky! Obviously, what I'm making them is bland and not full of spices and deliciousness that my Dad used. I'm sure they'll love it either way since they really want to eat it raw.
I am so glad Alfred Hitchcock Presents is on Netflix now. I remember watching some Hitchcock shows and movies as a kid. Yes, that probably had a part in the molding of my morbidity along with the fact I loved Beetlejuice (movie and subsequent kids' TV show) at a very young age. ;)
I know I've repeatedly said I'm going to grow my hair out, and I am. But I think part of the problem with me not sticking to it is that I just go all out as in minimal to no trimmings/shaping as it grows. Thus, it ends up looking kinda blah and I get bored of it very, very quickly. I think after I get a bit more length I may go for a cut like this. It will grow out nicely and it'll still be punky. She has more recent pics of her hair on her blog and it's still looking great as it grows while keeping texture, the sidecut, and the mini fringe. Also, it's inspired by Rooney Mara's look in Girl With The Dragon Tattoo which I previously thought I'd like to grow towards. I don't think I'll try my hand at cutting my own hair for this one though. *lol*
21st book of 2012 completed. Calm Surrender: Walking The Path of Forgiveness by Kent Nerburn.
Likelihood of me recommending this book to anyone (out of 5) - 3, maybe. It had its moments, but I found the author just repeated the same point over and over again per chapter. I get the sense of space filling, quite frankly. There are also a few Christian related references which kind of irked me because I was not expecting that. It's not an overwhelming amount of references and it's not like, "God forgives us all!" sort of stuff, but still. I think one can discuss the topic of forgiveness (both of self and others) and how it impacts the forgiver without falling back on Christianity. I did, however, get this wonderful quote from the book:
"I could not have dreamed this life, could not have invented it from the whole cloth of my imagination. It is a miracle in its uniqueness, a treasure of unexpected grace. Though I am not what I thought I should be, I am more than I might have ever hoped. As I survey the landscape of my life, I am overcome with a sense of wonder."
I think that's lovely.
