Two Out of Three Ain't Bad

I have embarked on a few new endeavors as of late.  Some of which have been successful - others haven't.  You can probably guess which are which by looking at the pictures.
 
New Haircut
 
I am calling it a success, but I guess that's a matter of opinion.  It had been a long time coming.  I needed a change and "Jacque" gave me that change.  Sure he smelled like cigarette smoke, had bad breath, and was an ultimate queen, but I left Salon Professionals not wanting to put a bag over my head (and $40 poorer).  That's all you can ask for.
 
Dwarf Japanese Holly Bonsai
 
This also goes into the success category, because it has made an interesting centerpiece for our coffee table, and that was my main goal.  I've been looking at all these books on bonsai and still have no idea what to do to the litte guy other than water it, so hopefully that's enough.
 
Oatmeal Cookies
 
Not a success.  I have no idea what happened.  I just followed the recipe, which usually produces fairly good results in my experience, and then this happened.  They don't taste that bad believe it or not, but I have a feeling they're not going to get eaten.  1)  Because we bought this cool cookie sampler from Aldi the other day that has tons of cookies.  2)  Because there are a ton of oatmeal cookies.  3)  Because they're too ugly to bring to work and pretend that I'm treating everyone.
 
So, as far as new endeavors go, I'm two for three.  I can live with that.
