I got my wisdom teeth out yesterday. Some people warned me it would be awful, but most said it was no big deal. Let me tell you, it is a big deal! Hubby couldn’t take me because he got called into jury duty. So a girlfriend of mine drove me to the dentist and waited…
Hair 'Do or 'Don't?
Whenever I get my hair cut, I always have this amazing image in my head of what it will look like – funky, modern and FABULOUS! Then as I sit in the chair and get it chopped off, I start getting nervous. The short hair will make my cheeks look chubby! What was I thinking?…
The Sky Is Falling
Today I finally gave in and put away all my Christmas decorations. I was delaying it a bit partly because my brother, sister and nephew were supposed to come into town this weekend to celebrate a late Christmas. And partly because I just wasn’t ready to let go of the season yet! I swear, this…
Reasons To Love The Season
So I was at the gym yesterday (after not going for about 2 weeks) and as you go around the Curves work-out circle, they have little signs on the floor with quotes and health tips – you know, something to read so you don’t get bored doing the same work-out day after day. Anyway, as…
I Have What You Might Call A "Problem"
Don’t get my wrong. I still bought everyone Christmas gifts and didn’t have to leave anyone out to satisfy my own cravings; But I spent so much money on myself this Christmas! I will be out looking for the perfect gift for someone and realize it’s also just what I wanted! Even though I’ve never…
How The JOB Stole Christmas...
The holiday season has always been a favorite of mine. It all starts with that big Thanksgiving dinner (what is better than a holiday that is centered around EATING?) and ends with a party to ring in the new year. The weather changes and you feel that chill in the air. We obviously don’t get…
Cowboys Wear Them Hollisters...
Paul and I arrived in Southern Utah on Thursday in the late afternoon. We didn’t miss Thanksgiving because my Mom usually prepares the meal on Saturday to make sure that everyone has plenty of time to get there and we can enjoy each other’s company before pigging out. Works for me. And enjoy each other’s…
Dangerous Curves Ahead
I have always been envious and resentful at the same time of people who go to the gym. I am envious that they have the time to go. I am envious that they have the money to afford a gym membership. And that they are doing something good for their bodies. That maybe the gym…
9 Years
So I wasn’t really thinking about it because of a busy day at work, but my husband reminded me that we met 9 years ago today! I was 18 and he was 18 and we had been chatting online (AOL used to rule my world) for a little while. He invited me to Universal Studios…
