what have i done...

I woke up Saturday morning with a *pet project* in mind.  I thought, today I'm gonna give the dog a haircut.  Poor dog.  Okay, it's not that bad--she's still cute.  I think she sort of looks like the dog in As Good as it Gets.  Anyway, she was due for a grooming.  I've done it before...and it wasn't such a bad experience.  So, I started off with her ears.  What you can't see in the "celebration" photos are the patches of matted and tangled hair on her ears.  A few snips here and there with the scissors, then the electric shaver to smooth things out and voila!

I hadn't planned on cutting her ears so short.  I felt terrible and couldn't bring myself to trim the rest of her body.  After I put her on the floor, she gave me a look like she was relieved, like a massive weight had been lifted off her little shoulders. I'm sure she was mostly relieved that I was done and that she didn't hear anymore buzzing and snipping.  Poor thing.  She scampered off and went back to playing with her favorite toy (bobo from Petsmart).  Which reminds me--she needs a new one.  I don't think it will survive a washing and I've already sewed parts of the body back on since she refuses to play with any other toy!

So, that was my Saturday morning.  After giving Poa-poa her trim, I started on laundry and tried to watch another episode of Taken.  I love watching movies with my brother since he's a sci-fi fan but he didn't seem all that interested in the show a few days ago so I decided to watch without him.  It started to get a little more interesting by the 3rd episode.

For dinner, I made deng jang chigae (Korean miso soup) and rice.  I love my mom's recipe but I never seem to have the right ingredients.  So, I made mine with tofu, spinach, onions and mushrooms.  One of these days I need to hit the farmer's market on Buford Highway for supplies.

After dinner, caught the 9:50pm showing of The Illusionist.  Crystal, I agree this was a great movie and it exceeded my expectations! 

That was my Saturday and now it's Sunday morning.  I have a lot of magazines I need to catch up on, but today I'll focus on September issues of Discover and Scientific American.  Later, maybe I'll run a few errands and finally use my Christmas gift card for The Container Store.  I love that store!
