Got a late start since I didn't have my usual market partners and it was thundering when I'd normally go. I need to either go to the pool or go get some plants, but I'm being cuddle attacked by a Loki, so it is hard to get the motivation to leave the house....

Despite the weather, it was pretty busy. Minded the dog-biscuit booth so neighbor could take a bathroom break (I never manage to make a sale, but nothing gets stolen... Oh, and I'm lending him my Firefly set. He has always wanted to see it.

WaitWait is on and it is the one taped here in B'more this week. So I think I'm going to let Loki pin me to the couch for a bit and listen to that...

Timelies all!

Went to see Rush in concert in Baltimore last night. Geddy Lee's upper register is pretty well wrecked, but the concert was otherwise quite good.

Does anyone else find the smell of aveda products awful?

Oh, my, yes. I think it's the lavender scent that I really dislike.

The deep breath gambit is only really useful when you know in advance you're likely to do something that would bring on a gag -- such as taking a large pill, or sword-swallowing, or perhaps an intimate activity that is likely to start tickling the back of your throat. (Ahem.)

Usually I really like the smell of the Aveda salons and their products, and I'm prone to smell-induced headaches, too. Whatever they use actually doesn't bother me, which is a small miracle in itself.

today is mac's birthday and he is 10. Double Digits! I am unclear how this happened and I am pretty sure I am not ready for a tween. Not that I have been ready for any of it.

Wish him a happy birthday for me!

Man, 10.

Happy birthday, Mac!! Wowza, 10 years old.

meara,

I use a couple of Aveda products (hair, not skin) and I like the smell. However, when I first went to Aveda, I smelled their moss shampoo and nearly gagged on the spot! (left thumb in fist!)

So some of their products hit me in a bad way, while others (like the shampoo for black hair color and their curly shampoos) are pretty good.
