- Oh, the randomness of family life.
- I’ve given up on regular blogging and surrendered myself to the idea of random blogging.
- So there you have it. Irregular posts it will be.
- As if you haven’t figured that out already. Ha!
- I went to get a manicure/pedicure for the first time in a million years this past weekend with a sweet friend, Kelly.
- Ok, so maybe it wasn’t a million years…but it was about 4.5 years…since S had been born.
- It showed.
- My first klutzy move was to dump half of my purse contents into the foot tub thingy as it was filling up.
- Oh yes, I know how to make everyone around me feel coordinated and classy. It’s what I’m good at. :D
- Translations of services and language barriers were left to Kelly. ”Yes, what she’s doing.” Scent? ”Yes, what she’s doing.” Deluxe? ”Uh, yea, sure, whatever she’s doing.” I am my own person that way.
- Then there was the awkward moment when Kelly was gone getting her eyebrows waxed and my lady (I think) asked me if I wanted mine done. ”No, no thank you.”
- Two minutes later, the lady next to her, thinking perhaps I misunderstood, asked in clearer English if I wanted my eyebrows waxed.
- I was beginning to feel self-concious.
- But firm in my desire that my hair dresser is best at this skill, I stated again, ”No, no thank you.” *big grin with my now big bushy eyebrows raised loud and proud*
- I clearly need to get out more and do more girly things.
- Kids are doing great, always keeping us on our toes.
- We love G’s sensitivity and sweetness and S’s zestness for life is such a joy to behold.
Giggles-n-Gulps
A life of laughter, wonder and surprises!
I have been lusting after a pedicure. I used to get one at the start of each spring/summer, but I am behind.
Two things: One? You make me giggle. Love that about you. And two? You are way too hard on yourself my Friend. You are lovely- as are your eyebrows! But I’ve gotta tell you, I’ve only had one mani/pedi and I was sooooo awkward and uncomfortable the whole time. Felt like a giant monstrosity, lumbering about and laughing like a wild woman because the act of de-crusting my feet drove my ticklish self completely over the edge! The sideways glances and muttered Vietnamese between all the employees didn’t help. I stuck out like a sore thumb- er, big toe. And not surprisingly, I haven’t been back. I have embraced my crusty feet and my overgrown cuticles! I can totally live with hobbit feet! ;0)
Hey Stranger-Lady! How are you! Irregular blogging is much better than the MIA blogging I have been offering up for the last little bit. hoping to change that soon though! Check out my new post!
Saw the pics of your butterfly garden. We have most of that stuff and in late summer it is like a butterfly swarm down the side of our house. Watch out for the monarchs. They will dive-bomb you! We get these little bitty ones that are super cute tho. You will probably get giant bumblebees too. We do anyway.
I am too embarassed by the state of my heels to go get a pedi, and the last time I got a full-set mani, a week to the day I dropped a bed on my thumb at youth camp and lost my REAL nail. Yep. I am always bringing the excitement.
Fun girly thing? flea markets and garage sales!!
Shalom – stopping by to share something interesting
The State of Israel was established in the year 5708 to the Creation of the World – and the 5,708th verse in the Torah reads, “And G-d will bring you to the Land inherited by your forefathers, and you will take possession of it, and He will do good to you…” (Devarim/Deut. 30,5)…
I was so excited when I saw this statement that I wanted to check it out for myself (and to have grid available whenever I wanted it). I created a spreadsheet for the 1st five books that would do the calculation for me as I entered chapter, verse, count, total count from Genesis/ Bereshis.
BORUCH HASHEM! I WAS SO HAPPY TO SEE THIS FOR MYSELF! If anyone would like this table (5 books) in PDF form – just email me and I will be happy to send it to you free of charge.
