Hello friends!
Can you believe we're approaching the best part of the year? From my perspective, Fall's still a fuzzy something or another on the horizon. But I'm counting on it getting here!Speaking of horizons, I'd like a few moments with Mother Nature.
Nice try, 'Mom.'
You certainly were shaking things up during this evening's rush hour.
(Yes, I'm writing this Thursday eve.)
Still, it wasn't your finest hour.
No, that award goes to Haboob 2011
Thankfully, I'd already left the office before it swallowed my workplace.
Perhaps you saw this on the National news?
DH had family/friends from Chicago and Florida calling to see if we were OK!
Dear Mr. Sweet,
Yes, I knew better than to patronize those
strip-center haircutters.
Thank you for not voicing what I'm pretty sure you were thinking.
When you asked, "May I be blunt?" I winced ...
but had to nod at your observations.
Then, you asked if I had any plans for the rest of the afternoon.
You wanted permission to 'play' with some color -
no charge! If I didn't like the result, you'd change it.
I've never come close to winning the lottery before, but in that instant I felt awfully fortunate ...
almost optimistic.
Best of all, I love my new 'copper' curls!
Dear feet,
Once upon a time I suppose you were normal.
Before I crammed you into too-small footwear or pointy high heels.
Unfortunately, I couldn't resist buying a pair of practically-new flats at my favorite consignment shop without first trying them on. Never mind they're larger than what I normally wear.
A little toilet paper wadded up at the toe
and we should be good to go!
You didn't like that one bit.
Well, I didn't like having spent good money to watch them gather dust at the back of my closet for the last 3 years.
What's that saying about a blind squirrel finding a nut every now and then?
I'm pretty sure a podiatrist would give this get-up
two thumbs down, but I wore them all day yesterday with no slippage and no pain!
Who needs a pair of pricey insoles when you've
olden peds at the ready?
Dear co-worker,
Sometimes the generation gap cracks me up!
I've never seen a single episode of "The Sopranos" -
but when you happened to remark how much you enjoyed it,
I invited you to sit down and tell me what was all that controversy about its finale.
"Hmmm", I surmised. "Almost a 'Lady or the Tiger' situation."
...to which you replied,
"I don't think I've seen that one. Who was in it?"
Dear Mr. God,
It's been 4 weeks now, one of Blogville's own has gone missing.
I know you've got this covered,
... but I'm worried.
Thank you for letting her know that she and her family are in my thoughts and prayers.
***
Have a happy Friday and a wonderful weekend, everyone!
Hugs,
Myra
