Oh you're going to see Radiohead? Swooning with envy!!!

She's still pulling out all lashes and brows. My empathy. A habit I've fought with my whole life!

any tips for the trich? what helps you stop? (my beautiful girl :( - but it's better than cutting, she has done that too)

I've read some theories that some people actually collect a yeasty like substance at the roots of hair follicles that causes discomfort and is relieved by the hair being pulled out. I think it might be true. There's a certain discomfort I get sometimes at the line of my lashes that only feels better if I pull out my eyelashes. According to this theory limiting carbohydrates can help. But, on the other hand, it also does seem stress related--particularly to a kind of worrying guilty stress--the stress that arises from feeling I've done something wrong and don't know how to turn it around or turn back ( ... )

oh I like the tweazing! that's a really good idea.

actually - my daughter has had yeast problems since birth so it's interesting about that. I will look into controlling that better...it's so hard with young ones.

It sounds like you'll have such a splendid garden! I look forward to photos. :)

I am so jealous that you are seeing Radiohead! Moonflowers are my favorite! Do you plant the vine kind, or the single ones (or whatever they are called). I think that gardening is different where I live, coleus is an annual here I think.

vine - hopefully one of the flowers that'll be attracting hummingbirds :)
coleus likes cold then? that's good to know - we have so much shade so I'm hoping they'll do well on the porch, haven't planted them before.

I think coleus do best in mostly shady spots. They like cold, but only to a point. They die here in the winter and don't come back. :(
What was a fun surprise for me was a pansy that is blooming right now. Pansies are not supposed to survive the snow!

still snow on the ground here...the rule of thumb here is that we plant on the may long weekend...
