Happy Wednesday!

I’ve been such a busy girl this week.  I’m going thru more stuff and getting rid of more things.  I made a run with stuff today and it feels quite liberating to let go.

I picked up my new frames last weekend.

I like them, but there is a bit of an adjustment.  The distance is perfect, but reading presents a bit of a struggle.

While it’s not too bad, I feel it’s just my eyes getting used to the new prescription.  I’ll give it a couple of weeks to adjust.

I’m a busy girl today so I don’t have the free time this afternoon to post much.

Looking forward to the hubs getting home from work and chilling with him this evening.

It’s that time of year for an eye exam.  And the time when I’m eligible for new frames.  I’m glad of that, as my current frames have caused a few minor frustrations.

Yesterday, I went in with hubby (as he filled his prescription) and checked out a few pair that caught my eye.

This frame is the one that I slept on all night.

After my eye exam this morning, I tried them on again.  I was just as pleased if not happier with the decision.

But then, this pair caught my eye.  I asked to try them on too.

It liked to really frustrate me as I like this pair as well.

So I grabbed my camera on the cell phone and snapped a pic of each pair.  These are not great shots but it gives me something to think about.

I’ll be sleeping on this over the weekend.  Hopefully I’ll be ready to make my decision Monday.

A panic attack is when the hair salon calls first thing this morning to announce my hairstylist is sick.

It’s the call a girl never wants to receive just before a trip.

A panic like this can cause for millions of things to cross a girl’s mind in a flash.  Amen?

I won’t even go there as I don’t have the time to get into all the things that crossed my mind.  And I’m quite certain you’re not up for the list.

What I did say is that I’m so sorry, I hope she feels better soon.  When they tried to work me in for a later date, I kindly asked if there was anyone in the shop that could take me today.  I did quickly explain that I was going on a trip.

It’s so cool how the girl on the other end of the line completely understood my urgency to get in right away.  And I was accommodated by the manager who saw to it that my hair was all one color again.  Whew, all is right with the world.  I know, this is just small potatoes, but it sure does make me feel a lot better having it done.

I’m thinking…

of several more things to cross off the list before our trip.  I certainly don’t need any more panic attacks.

Tonight, it’s a dinner and shopping date with the hubs.

And tomorrow it’s a day to pack and get ready to fly away from here.

Cheers to everything else falling into place, I hope.

Well here it is already Thursday.  As I turn around to see where the week has gone, it’s quite puzzling.  For whatever reason, I still feel lost back in Tuesday.  Is it just me?

Breathing a deep sigh today as yesterday did not go so well.  It was something I read online that caused for such disappointment, to the point it hurt.  It hurt so much that by the end of the day, I wrote a little note to the author stating how their words and actions hurt.

It was a day where I could just close the chapters of the internet for a while.  But as I thought about it and talked it over with the hubs last evening, I can see where there is a lot of good out there.  And just like life, there will always be an amount of unpleasant things.   But we must not allow them to rule our heart and destroy our soul.

So for today, this is the verse that I cling to.  Philippians 4:8  New American Standard Bible:  Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things.

I’m dwelling on my good night of rest.  Isn’t it amazing how good we feel when our bodies are rested?

I’m dwelling on the fun evening I had with hubby last evening.  We even cut a rug dancing the East and West Coast Swing in our living room.  With a nice little slow dance too.  LOVED THAT!

I thought about that open-faced yummy peanut butter and banana concoction I had last evening.

In fact, it was so good that I had a full sandwich for lunch today.  Don’t let this little thing fool you as there are a whopping 550 calories in this sandwich alone.

But good and yummy calories, yes I’m counting them every day.  Another good thing, as I’m back to my lowest weight after all the yummy things we’ve had going on.  Our trip, that BBQ and my Birthday celebration.

I’m dwelling on how beautiful the weather has been.  Even today, we still have our windows open.  And thus far, we have yet to turn on the AC this year!

And enjoying the sound of wind chimes coming from the great outdoors thru the open windows and sliding glass doors.

When all is said and done, I’m thankful for the good things I have to think about.  I have so much to be thankful for.

It seems the roots are in need of care, more often than not these days.  And I’m not talking about the garden, rather the top of my head.

Taking care of root rot has become a serious matter in the last 6 years.  Come to think about it, it’s like my roots turned against me overnight.

Yes, it was a cold, dark, spooky night when the root forces joined together and said “let’s go two-tone and see if she notices in the morning.”   Notice?  Would she notice?  Are you kidding?  I’ll never forget that day!  And of course the rushing to the phone to schedule my very first color ever.

Not cool the way it went down.  It nearly left me scared for life.  If I sound bitter, don’t worry, I found the key to make it all go away.  Cause today, I sat in that chair once again and all is right with the world and my roots.
