Projects completed this weekend, which are lacking illustrative pictures:
1. I gave Andrew and myself haircuts. Our hair is almost exactly the same length right now, and I was worried we might look alike, but I think the sixteen different hair goops I use on a daily basis will differentiate us.
2. A late birthday present arrived. (Five months late, but who's going to complain about a gift, especially when your expectations have disappeared because it's been, like, five months?) It was a recipe book for Australian food, which seems to be mainly food with English ingredients, except [fill in your own English cuisine joke here]. I made a pea and mushroom lasagna, which was delectable. I must admit that I didn't really trust a recipe where the only flavorings are salt, pepper, and cream, so I added some onion, garlic, sage, cheese, and a lot more cream and that, um, may not be precisely what the recipe expected me to do. Nonetheless, it was delicious and it was quite fun to eat a bright green lasagna.
3. I painted a bookshelf, although it's not done until I decoupage the sides.
4. The window seat is looking distinctly more seat-like. It is now the skeleton frame of a box, and I have high (and perhaps foolhardy) hope of some sides appearing in the next few weeks.
Any fun weekend events at your house?

I bought my flight to Cyprus. Those people better get married now!
Oh I love the idea of green lasagne! my weekend was filled with bday stuff. Very fun but not incredibly productive!
Weekend project one definitely calls for photographs!
I'll try the lasagne - as long as it's not too heavy on the onions! Do we get to see pix of the hair cutting endeavor?
His and her haircuts, somehow I don't see Wife and I doing that. I find that lots of ingredients don't guarantee a good dish...vive la technique
