I just recently made some lavender syrup by simmering 1 cup of water with 2 cups of sugar, adding 2 tablespoons or more of dried culinary lavender, and letting that sit for a few minutes. It is sooooo yummy.

Why haven’t you done it? </span><br /><strong><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Let's see.... I've wanted to go to Alaska for a very long time, among many other places... too many reasons for not doing that, the main one being money. </span></strong><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><strong>I've also wanted to try being completely vegan... the reason for not doing that? Because I'm a wuss, lol. And because I'm living with my family, it would be more difficult.</strong><br /><br />If you could make any fictional character come to life, which one would it be? </span><br /><strong><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Okay, well it would depend on what "come to life" means, but.... how about Winnie the Pooh? or Gumby? or, to be a bit more normal... Minerva McGonagall, Emma Peel, Miss Marple, or Mary Poppins.</span></strong><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">If you could have a $10,000 shopping spree to one store, which store would it be and how long would it take you to spend the $10,000? </span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><strong>Ermmm... do online stores count? Amazon, obviously, because almost everything is on there. Orrrr..... Sock Dreams!! Holy cow that would be awesome.

Devastatingly, and with no warning? Where would you go for books instead? What would you do? If it was a local business you would try to help out the owners? Would you just calmly start buying from some other store? Visit the library in the next town instead? Would it be devastating? Or just a blip in your reading habit?<br /><br /><strong>We're talking about Grass Roots, obviously. It actually takes me a minute to think of any others. I shop at Borders occasionally, but rarely for books, more for movies and music. If Grass Roots disappeared? That would be horrible! My family knows the owners, and my cousin worked there for a number of years, so it's a very special place. And what's a hang-out-downtown-day without a stop at Grass Roots? It's like a landmark, practically. Soooo, it would be horrible. All of the other locally owned bookstores are second-hand, which only work for some of the time.<br />Don't even ask me about the library. As a homeschooler, it's been a major part of my life for as long as I can remember. I'm always seriously shocked to find out that someone doesn't spend their life there. =P<br /><br /></strong><br /><br /><br />from http://www.hairmetalqueen.com/3xThursday.html<br /><br />1. Do you ever have 'ghosts from the past' pop their heads in to say hi? Has it happened to you lately? If so, who was it? If not, is there anyone you wish you could find?<br /><strong>Not very often. But a lot of people that I knew from like, pre-school, are now high-school friends of other friends of mine, which is funny but strange. I never know if I should just be like "Hi! Remember that time you lifted my skirt in first grade?" or get re-introduced and pretend it never happened... haha.<br /></strong><br />2. What do you think of Facebook? If you're a Facebooker, have you had any contact with long lost friends of the past?<br /><strong>I love facebook. Everything's sort of out in the open, which I don't know for sure is always a good thing or not... But yes, I did just get "friended" by someone I haven't talked to since I was 9.<br /><br /></strong>3. Pretty much everyone is easily found these days. Do you miss the days of not being able to be found, or do you welcome people finding you? Why/why not?<br /><strong>New friends are good, though new-old friends can be awkward, but cool nonetheless. It's also great for stalking... cousins you haven't seen in years and such. =P<br /></strong><br /><br /><br /><table cellspacing="0" align="center" border="1"><tbody><tr><td align="middle" bgcolor="#ffffff"><img src="http://intricateart.com/blog/thursdaythirteen300.jpg" mce_src="http://intricateart.com/blog/thursdaythirteen300.jpg" /><br /></td></tr><tr><td style="BACKGROUND: #ffffff; TEXT-ALIGN: left" align="left"><center><strong>Thirteen Smells that mean Summer to me.</strong></center><center><strong></strong> </center><center><strong></strong> </center><center><strong>1.

Oh, and she's amazingly talented, versatile, often nude, etc.<br />2) Meryl Streep - Brilliant brilliant brilliant. She can do ANYTHING. She does accents like nobody else.<br />3) Dame Maggie Smith - 'nuff said.<br />4) Alan Rickman - I find him incredibly interesting. He seems a mystery, but really nice. He's very british, and sexy in a odd sort of way.<br />5) Zoë Wanamaker - She played Madam Hooch in the first Harry Potter film, and is currently playing Susan Harper in the britcom "My Family", which is an awesome show, you should check it out.<br />6) Dame Diana Rigg - Both my Dad and I have had crushes on her character Emma Peel from the '60s show The Avengers, LOL. I've always found that amusing. She's a great stage actress, and I would LOVE to see her perform some day, even though I'm accepting the fact that that will probably never happen.<br />7) Harrison Ford - Han Solo, Indiana Jones... okay, so I haven't really seen him in much else, and I wouldn't call him an amazing actor, but... he's INDIANA JONES, ya know??<br />8) Megan Mullally - I learned a lot about myself through being a fan of hers, and even though I no longer follow her every move, I still greatly admire her. And she's back to singing on broadway again, go Megan!<br />9) Dame Judi Dench - Legendary.<br />10) Imelda Staunton - Terrific actress. I love her hysterically funny characters. She may be shrimpy, but boy she has presence!<br /><br /><br />10 Places You’d Take a Tourist to See in Your Hometown<br /><br />1) The Courthouse, expecially between 5 and 6pm during the daily Peace Vigil.<br />2) The waterfront. Fountains, statues, etc.<br />3) OSU Campus. Specifically the MU, quad, library... <br />4) Nearly Normals, the only entirely vegetarian restaurant in town. YUMMM<br />5) Something at The Majestic or CHS Theater.<br />6) The library<br />7) Avery park. We have awesome parks here.<br />8) Folk dancing!<br />9) Various places downtown... Burst's Candy, The Book Bin, Northern Star, The Darkside...<br />10) The farmer's market. Or any other events that might be happening, such as Fall Festival, daVinci Days, Pride Week, etc.EccentricSimplicityhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10986303870247612801noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8031600798021694881.post-11532157739504683382008-06-17T17:18:00.000-07:002008-06-17T18:04:56.134-07:00Mexico trip - Day 6<span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;">Dad rented us a car, and we took a trip to Sayulita, a cute little town north of Bucerias.
