Another leisurely day in the non-existent, but peaceful lives of Tom and Jodi. Ah, but we sure did a damn good job on the smashed potatoes we made for people who hate to cook. I peeled, he cut, then I whipped. It wasn’t until they were starting to boil that he pointed out that we had no milk, so I made him run to the store for some. That worked out ok, though, since Jesse had our net/phone bill waiting in the box for us.

I dyed my hair light brown yesterday, though I’d say it’s medium brown. This Color Silk dye is the best I’ve used so far. I have some streaks of gray at my temples and that can be hard to cover, but this stuff, as cheap as it was, really provides good coverage.

Got a card from Mary yesterday. She’s both excited and nervous about re-entering the real world, but definitely ready. She thanked me wholeheartedly for the goodies I sent her and said it’s awesome I’m learning so many languages – you go, girl! Lastly, she’ll call or email me soon.

I took several pictures with my webcam showing my weight-loss progress even though I still have a long way to go if I could ever stop eating, plus some shots of me with the rat. I’ll be sending them to my folks. I’m going to load them into the end of the “Me” album on Webshots soon.

I should have our rather strange and hectic time in the mountains of the Klamath Falls Forest Estates posted on Blogger within a week.
