I have to admit I was born with auburn hair, but it was a dark brown with just a hint of red in it. My niece was over the other night and suggested I dye my hair red. I kind of shied away from the subject, until we went shopping the next day. Of course I took her to the beauty supply house, which is where she wanted to go to get some nail polish and other items. I started looking at those little hair swatches they have in the dye it aisle. Long story short, I am now a red head. To be honest…I like it!
A friend coming to visit!
A dear friend who I’ve known for nearly 25 years is coming for a visit. His daughter is graduating this month and though they live so very far away from one another, he wouldn’t miss this for the world. He loves his daughter so much. He will be flying into Chicago, as that is where his brother lives and will then drive to Michigan. Problem is, no transportation and renting a car is another problem, since for his daughter’s graduation present, he wants to buy her a good used car. That way, he will have transportation during his stay, and then give her the car before he leaves. I thought it was a great idea, as there are a lot of people he would like to visit, and places to go. His brother told him about looking at used cars in Chicago. He could buy one there, drive here and not have to rent a car to look for a car. Makes perfect sense to me!
Breanne my friend’s daughter, is the outdoorsy type of young lady. And she is always on the go. She loves to travel and in her old car, I can remember her coming to visit me last year and it looked like she had packed that little car as though she were going on a year long vacation around the United States, instead of on a two hour drive to stay here for week. I had to laugh when she even pulled out a waffle maker, because she wanted to make me “her famous Breanne waffles.” I suggested to her father that he look at something like a Cheverolet Avalance because it’s roomy, looks great and in the QT I called his kid to find out what she really wanted. I’m sneaky like that! 😉
Bless my friend’s heart. Though he loves his daughter so much, he has no clue how girls that age are, and certainly believes his “little girl” is still that…a little girl. Boy do I have news for him. He will soon learn that she indeed is her own person and has unique ideas. She and my youngest daughter are the same age and are great friends also. They both will have their new to them used cars, and I’m excited for this visit.
Jr. Prom!
My niece has asked me to help her get ready for her Jr. Prom. I checked with my sister and my sister is thankful. It’s tomorrow. Because my sister has lots on her plate right now, she can’t afford to really go all out like she wants to, and I’m totally happy to help. I love her and this kid is the bomb, (using a young person’s slang) as she is such a beautiful and happy young adult. Tomorrow we go to get her hair done, and even though it’s last minute, we’ll get shoes, nylons, and pretties that will all sync together. I think I’m looking forward to this more than my niece, LOL! Times have changes so much. She’s going with a bunch of her girlfriends, instead of a date with a guy. I personally think this is really cool. My sister of course will be here at my house for the photos. I’m excited!
New shoes
I’ve decided to take my younger sister out shopping today. She is having a hard time financially, (aren’t we all) but I have saved a little bit of what I call, “shoe money”. She tries so hard to keep up a cheerful front, and I admire her for it. But everyone deserves a bit of pampering. Especially my little sister.
Needing printers ink badly
Okay, so I said I don’t do much on Mondays, but I was sitting here blogging and wanted to check some things out on line about herbs for my garden. Even though it’s raining, I figure it has to stop sometime so think on the bright side. It’s either make some plans for the garden, or perhaps look up how to build an Ark. Not that I want to take care of all the animals of the world, but hey…I really don’t want to row around, since I don’t know how to row, and just end up going in circles. I found some really great info I wanted to print out, got read to print and found I was out of ink jet cartridges. I hate it with that happens.
I’m tired of paying the costly price of ink at the office supply I go to. It’s unreal. I wanted to see if I could find some cheap ink. Which at the stores around here, is darn near impossible. So, I used my fingers instead of gas and leg work. Online I went once again…surfing instead of rowing at the moment.
I compared lots of online stores that had sold printers ink, but most of them didn’t have the ink I needed for my model of printer, as it is, I must admit a rather old one. Okay, it is really almost obsolete and there for awhile I though I really would have to get a brand new one. I was so happy when I came across a great site, with my brand that I need, at excellent prices…both black and color. I ordered a truck load. LOL! I couldn’t help myself. I love my old printer. I know my dear friend, who has been so faithful to me and helpful over the years. I know, I know…I’m a bit sentimental and also didn’t want to shell out the bucks for a new one right now. 😉
