Happy Birthday to Me!!

Another year older for me and my twin brother today.  Still spending it recovering on the couch but that's okay as I'm catching up on all my Hitchcock movies I've only seen ten or 12 times.  Gonna make up by celebrating my 53rd this coming weekend!!

Lula Oh Hell No!

Time and time again I see more and more people extolling the virtues of Lula rose leggings, shirts and dresses.  Oh the comfort!  Oh the style!  Um, have you taken a look at these??

They are leggings with unflattering patterns matched with striped shirts. Or some type of A-line short sleeve skater skirt dress in these same abhorent patterns that do nothing to complement a fuller figure, to whom it appears they are marketed.

Just say no to this design line.  These styles will not make you look chic, hip or cool.  They will make you look mismatched, sloppy, and out of touch.

If I'm missing something here, please fill me in on the secret!

No Fun Just Flu

Such high hopes for my weekend went swiftly down the drain. I was feeling nauseous on Saturday which quickly led to full blown flu, including lots of trips to the bathroom.  Thankfully Sam was able to stop by and bring me 7up.  But it was a really rough day.

Today is better but not by much. No more bathroom trips but suffered raging heartburn after eating some toast.  7up continues to be my staple of food. Tired, achy, and just feeling gross.  At least I had enough strength to brush my teeth.

My early birthday wish is that this bug dissappears in the morning!  Ugh - enough of this whiny post!!

Glorious Gray

First off, this will probably not happen but it doesn't make me stop investigating potential. I'm talking about hair color. Now that gray is an "in" color, it made me wonder what it might look like on myself. Especially since, without dye my hair would be entirely gray.

Here are a few ideas that would be funky and fun.  Love the silver. Would not be a way to go gray; would be a way to have a cool hair color.

Awww the Weekend

Along with a very busy work week, I also filled some of my evenings with rock painting. This new hobby has been so much fun!  Painting then hiding rocks in various spots for people to find. Some even comment on the Facebook page Cowlitz County Rocks when they've found one of my creations, such as below:

Finished up last night and ready to hide them today!

As an early birthday present, decided to take Monday off to make it a long weekend.  Here's to sleeping in!!

Making Kids Smile

Today's rock adventure turned out great. I stopped by Castle Rock elementary to hide the painted rocks, then messaged the mom to let her know they were hidden. Steve and I then departed.  A short time later, she sent me a message with pictures saying how much fun her sons had finding the rocks. Awww...was so happy to hear it was a success!!

Heart Burning For A Couple Reasons Today

This morning I woke up at 5am....why does my internal clock do this to me??  Got up, cleaned the kitchen, then relaxed.

Sam stopped by to chew the fat. Apparently he was out last night and ran into his former stepbrother Dylan. He said he looked familiar then when they realized who each other was they were shocked. Sam remembered Dylan being older and taller (which of course he was that many years ago.)  Dylan remembered Sam being shorter and chubby which of course he was. Dylan couldn't believe Sam was taller than him, thin, and 21. Kind of gave me a warm fuzzy to hear that story

At noon met up with Lynn and Arlene to celebrate her birthday at the Castle Rock mexican place. Food was good, company was great and it was an enjoyable visit. Well, except for the hideous heartburn I suffered, probably due to my peach margarita. Had to double the dose of medicine to fight it.

Returned home to find Steve and Stubbs bonding on the couch.  Looking forward to a relaxing evening and a more enjoyable type of heart burn. 😆
