"HAIR"

I wrote a post the other day about the change in my hair color....funny thing is nobody notice...How can that be...it is dark red. How can you sit in a room day after day hour after hour & not notice..not one person has said anything, zip, nada. Not my daughter, not my brother,not my parents not even hubby..OR maybe they have notice but thought it best to keep their mouth shut in fear of hurting  my feelings...in any case by the time they do notice it will be gray again...& next time I will think before I waste 10 bucks on hair color that no one will notice anyway...except me of course & thats all that matters anyway..right. :o)

My "Hair"

Every once in awhile I get in the mood to do some changing in the way I look....so I decided to do away with the gray that has been bugging me..I pretty much like my gray hair but in the winter I look washed out, dull ,frumpy whatever. What was I thinking when I decided to do this?  I got a wild hair & now my hair is wild & a dark red....really, I bought a box of hair color that said light brown...but somehow I forgot the fact there is a red tint to my hair & before you ask.. there will be no pictures ! Why oh why didn't I just let my girl who cuts my hair deal with this .So anyway I'm going to head over to my parent's house & get their reaction..& tonight I will get hubby's reaction, he might not even notice, but he will, thats how different I look. It makes me look younger & if you see me walking down the street you might think there's a new girl on the block looking good!!!!!!!

Birthday Wishes

I was waiting 37 yrs ago for my 1st born daughter...she was 2 weeks late....I don't blame her for not wanting to come out, it was a cold , winter day. It seems like only yesterday that she was placed on my chest for a few short minutes & I named her right then & there but it wasn't the name I had picked , I changed my mind just like that...I'm sure she's glad she didn't have to go through life being called Heidi...what was I thinking but hey it was the 70's & I was young very young in today's world where women are waiting later in life to start a family but on the eve of her Birthday I wanted her to know how proud I am to be her mother & that she is everything I hoped she would be & more...Happy Birthday Angie !!!

Death To Life....Sister's

I wrote this almost 11yrs ago when my grandmother passed away.......Hard to believe it's been that long. Time has a way of moving on but some days it's harder to live without "Mammaw". I hear her voice, I see her in the beauty that surrounds me, she is in my thoughts. My sister's and I come together to remember things that one of us has forgotten, it's putting pieces of a puzzle together. Sometimes I just forget or maybe I blocked it out or whatever the case may be they fill in the blanks..We help each other cope with a lost that almost devastated us in a way no one can understand except the 3 of us. Mammaw's death gave us a connection we never had before...don't get me wrong, we have always been close but it's different now...somehow I believe it was meant to happen that way. We go about our lives every day but we come together every now & then to remember, cry, laugh & mourn a woman who knew she was loved by everyone but most of all by 3 sister's who wanted her to stay a little while longer,....Today we are very STRONG women...Thank you Judy & Cindy for holding me up when I couldn't stand on my own...

Sleep vs No Sleep

Well I did it...made it all night for the pre party & BREAKING DAWN premiere. Will I do it again, I doubt it. I can't stay up all night without paying for it the next 2 days..It was fun to be caught up in all the hype but I just need to face the fact that staying up all night isn't for me at all...You see I was born old, I like to sleep, always have from birth till now, in fact I want to lay down right now. I slept for months after I retired, I was making up for all the years I didn't sleep...so unless it's something really important to keep me up,just let me be....

Madness

Twilight is finally here....& I must be crazy to sit up till midnight waiting like all the other Twilight fans. I can't make it to New Year's so what makes me think I can do it tonight..My daughter's think I need to live a little,excuse me but isn't that what I'm doing right now? Any way I'm going to the party before the movie & then head over with about 2000 other screaming women & girls. My hope is I can sneak in a nap this afternoon but if that doesn't happen ( I will be with the grandaughter's) then I will need a cup of strong coffee...I am looking forward to stepping out side my world & live a little as my girls put it....Will update tomorrow but if not.. it's cause I'm ASLEEP!!!

"Me & Twilight"

I don't know how this happened or when.. but I became a Twilight fan, or Twilight Mom thanks to my oldest daughter. I have read all the books, and now I'm going to what they call Twilight Tuesday leading up to the new movie (BREAKING DAWN)  that comes out on Nov.18 @ 12:01A.M. which means I will be up all night for this one, got my ticket so I'm already planning my nap for the day. How in the world did I get caught up in all this? For some reason it takes me back to a long ago time when I would rush home from school to watch Dark Shadows...anyone remember that show?  It was really creepy, so now it's a new vampire that is Hot  & now I find that I have to be on team "Edward" or team "Jacob." (he's hot too & a werewolf) I had no idea that middle age women go for this kind of stuff, really, who knew?
