Stiff upper lip......

Ok.. I am going to try not to be a big Thanks to some very good friends.. I am feeling alot better.... at least in my spirit...I don't really know what to post about...but in this case it is because it could be about any number of things... I could post about Gratitude...About how when everything around seems so bleak... you dig a little deeper and find that, there are alot of people so much worse off then you. That often it is darkest before the dawn.( I know very cliche.. but true! )
How friends and loved ones don't often realize how just a simple gesture or word can open your eyes and heart, to the power of love, or how that we are never really alone.
I could post about all that.. but I won't...That would be exposing alittle too much of the soft fleshy side of me, and frankly I am not ready to do that .... at least not here on this blog... Suffice to say I am one lucky person.

Instead I will go to a very important fundamentally riveting topic ... This blasted cold.

My nasal passages are another story... it seems like I keep recycling the same cold.. just when I think it is gone for good... Bam ! Phlegm city... sorry about the visual but if someone told me they could suck all this gunk out of my head in one easy step... I would go for it... Ugh...

Instead... I will dazzle you with a little preview of my day... ( knowing full well this could all fall through and that in reality you probably don't care...)..As you can see I was up at the butt crack of dawn.. 4:00am... ( I have even talked with my friend Lori already....in England via the computer) it's a beautiful thing...I simply could not sleep after I got up for some water.

I have to get some of the bags of clothes ready for the charity truck today.. of course I am not fully prepared, I have so much more that can go... and not just cloths...I have vowed that I am going to slowing purge so much of the unnecessary "STUFF" in this house...

During the move SIX years ago ... while in the midst of trying to combine the two full households... I swore I would never let it get so bad again... all the extra STUFF that piles up... The I may need it some day kind of items.. Mamma was even worse then me... in one of the drawers downstairs.. I found so many bottle/can openers...

that I lost count.. Ummm can you say twist off caps????. You almost never need one of these any more...and I think after 10 you can rest assured you have enough....It became a joke. The funny part is..... my family doesn't even drink!
Anyway... the clutter has started to build up again... just odds and ends that very slowly start to pileup... and the books... oh my gosh.. why is it so hard for me ( any everyone else in this house) to part with books.. It almost feels like you are parting with a friend ..... DRAMA !!! over books??? what 's that all about????

I am also excited to get my hair colored.... I know you thought I was a natural... cough cough...My dear sister in law is a beautician and gets the job done... only today we are trying something new.... something I haven't done since I was newly married... ( Get your minds out of the gutter) it's a perm...

That's right... I am taking a small step back into the 80's .... only this time I will not be getting the poodle perm..You know the one followed by the mushroom cut...Some day I will be brave enough to post pictures of how I rocked that fashion look....

Only a light body wave, since my hair is poker straight... I really do wonder sometimes where I came from.. I am the only one in my family with stick straight hair.. and tree trunk thighs.. Sometimes...... I think some one's not telling me something...

From there an exciting excursion to Sam's Club... I have some "Church Ladies" coming in the morning and need to find sustenance for them. Those "Church Ladies" can be a rough crowd you know.. and if hungry... look out... A quick pick up of the house, dinner, laundry and viola... that is the awe inspiring plans for my day...Don't you just feel better knowing all this???

Have a good one yourself !!!
