What's Up, Buttercup?

Some pretty exciting times here at the ol' homestead.
First up, I got my hair cut. I had 12 inches cut off. Here is the end result:
I LOVE IT! I was using my old hair as a "security blanket". I more or less hid behind it. It was hot, heavy, and too much, and I was DONE!!!!! I went with my friend Paula from work, and cut it off. It feels so nice, light. The hairstylist straitened it for me, but it is naturally wavy. Now, the waves come out, and it looks cool. I actually look semi grown up now.
As I promised last time, here is the knitting content. I am working on my next pair of socks.
The yarn is Opal sock yarn. I don't remember the exact color number, but it is from the Dream catcher line. The pattern is "Classy Slip-Up" from Knit Socks! by Betsy Lee McCarthy. It has been really easy to follow. I have knit other socks from this book before, and it has been user friendly. I recommend it.
I was going to take more pics of the gardens, but it is raining. Those will have to wait until next time. I did plant a couple rows of corn today. I have never grown corn, so I am excited to see how it turns out. My tomatillo plant has blossoms on it already. Cool.
I have come to a place in my life. I am in a rut that I don't know how to get out of. I need something different, new, challenging. I don't know. I am looking, but I don't know for what. We will see. Stay tuned for updates.
And of course, the gratuitous cat shots.
