I found it!

So I found a dress. A dress that I love and that I feel comfortable with. It fits great and best of all it was way marked down from $180 to $55. Been smiling ever since. I made plans to get my hair colored this weekend and then I made an appointment to get "wedding hair" the day of. Now I need some help with accessories. I kind of want something to cover my enormous "wings". I look at the pic and all I can see is ARMS. So maybe a shawl?? A shrug? Jewelry? Shoes? I am thinking grey. Tell me what do you think.

Speaking of my kid. He got hit in the head pretty good today at work. He is at the E.R. now. Seems like everything is fine. My daughter is looking for a new house. Some where that she would be able to build a GeGe apartment. Just in the thinking about stage right now. Something to think about. They really need a bigger house. This is the time to buy for sure. She is getting smoking prices, so we will see. She is excited.

I went to the Dr. today. I needed to get my lab work and BP checked so they will refill my meds. I found out that my cholesterol isn't as high as I thought. Felt good about that. Plus I have "tennis elbow" from pulling L.L. up in the bed and chair. I also got my back adjusted. I am laying here on an ice pack. I went to work today after calling in sick yesterday. Sick with a pretty bad cough. Pee in your pants kind of cough. I am not contagious so I figure I sit on my butt most of the day anyway, so I went to work. I manged to get her out for a brisk mile, but not much more.

I weighed in this morning. No longer in Onderland. Such is life. I will just press forward. If I can get back into the 190's before the wedding I would be happy. Just making better overall choices about what goes in the old pie hole would do it. That and a butt load of water. I drank an entire gallon today. Feel so much better then even yesterday. I sweet young mother saw on FB that I was feeling icky and she dropped off a "flu care package". It was just so nice. They are a struggling young couple with 2 kids. It meant alot to me. I don't even really know her that well.

Well I just took a little muscle relaxer and I am feeling "relaxed" so I will end this. I feel good about today. I am feeling less foggy. I feel like I have more energy. I might just pull out of this funk yet.....HOPEFUL!

    What suzi said. You do look gorgeous and the dress is fabulous. As you know, I'm a big fan of the pashmina (shawl) and I think grey/silver shoes would look great with the dress. I have no idea as to jewelery, however. I think I own exactly four pieces - three of which I'm wearing right now.

    Beautiful dress! I agree, you look fantasic. I think gray would be a good choice.

    Congrats on the cholesterol not being as high as you though! That's a great victory.

    Hope your son is okay-scary!

    Pretty dress and you look great in it. Almost any color wrap would work: gray, navy, metallic. You can't go wrong. Hope your son is OK.

    So happy for you. I know finding a dress takes a load off your mind. Beautiful and perfect for you! Silver shoes - or metallic pewter color which is a bit more trendy right now. Silver jewlery maybe even a few rhinestones. Drop earrings for sure - that neckline can handle them and they'd look fantastic.

    I would go with a silver/gray wrap too. Simple (not patterned) would be best. I am going to message you on FB about the other suggestion.

    I saw NO WINGS! What I saw was such a pretty happy smile and cute cute hair! I say get some bitchin' cool shoes and some sparkly jewelry and dare them to give you any trouble at all. (I have wanted to say the words "bitchin' cool" all day. So here ya go!)

    I think you are beautiful. xoxo GP

Contentment at last

Oh my goodness!!  I can't beleive how long it's been since I haave posted here.  So maybe things have changed.  The month I moved in with my son and daughter in law, a friend from high school asked if I wanted to be a "Granny Nanny" for her 86 year old mother.  It would mean moving back to my home town and living with the woman.  I didn't hesitate.  I had a good feeling about it from the start, so I went for it.  So, as of the first of October I have been residing in a cozy little home in Orem, UT.  The woman is just a sweetheart.  So easy to please and I feel so comfortable.  The pay is great too.  I like living with someone and it has just been a win/win.  I love my surroundings.  I love the mountains, the memories, being around my extended family.  My sister lives here, as does my aunt, a ton of cousins on both sides of the family.  Of course the downside is I am away from my kids and my grandkids.  I m...

A Traditionally Built Woman

I am listening to the latest No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency books. Blue Shoes and Happiness. They are sweet simple stories about a woman in Botswana Africa. She is a "traditionally built" woman. This means of course that she is heavy. I have never seen the show on HBO, but I love the books. In this book she decides to go on a diet. All her litle "insights" about going on a diet are cute....and so true. My favorite is how it's human nature that when you decide to restict ANYTHING you always end up wanting more of it. How she thought that was funny, until she herself was on a diet, now not so funny. How she gets crabby when she's hungry. I could so relate and it made me smile. People, we are more alike then we are different. The book is written by a white man, which I think is great. See, more alike then we are different. I have my grandkids birthday party today. My daughter, "C," is doing 2 kids in one party. They are still young enough that they don...
