Having a Great Week

Sorry that I haven't been posting, but I have really been having a whirlwind of a week and feeling great, too.


Well, last week started off kind of traumatic. Needless to say, bandannas and baseball caps are now a few new accessories that I've added to my wardrobe. I don't recognize the person that I see in the mirror, so the new accessories really help.

Part of the MAGIC is that I get to decide what illusion of me that I want people to see. I'll have plenty of time to perfect my craft. I'm also glad that I'm kind of artsy - so I can perform some more magic with make-up. Now, where is that handsome prince? Or, doesn't he get up as early as I do? I still want the fairy tale!!!

Enough said. I'll just move on to the fun stuff.

My Mom, Granddaughter and I had a "Girls Day Out" last Wednesday. We went to lunch at the Macaroni Grill and made a toast to "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun". I don't think we ever stopped laughing the rest of the day. We had a great waiter that insisted on singing to us from our salad order to the progress of our meal and every time he went passed the table. He even sang to us as we were leaving.


Then, we went shopping at the Christmas Tree Shop, which just opened here a few weeks ago. We had a cartful of stuff that we didn't know we needed. This is a great place to separate you from your money. Then, it was like Christmas when we got home and started unwrapping all of our treasures.




On Saturday, I spent the day with my very best and dearest Friend, Judy. We went shopping, had a nice leisurely lunch, more shopping, and then we sat in Starbucks having coffee and talking about everything under the sun. The greatest part of having a best friend is the freedom to let Me be Me. No pressure to say what people want to hear. And, boy did we talk.....




Judy gave me this beautiful basket which is perfect for holding my embroidery project. It makes me smile because Judy knows what a "Basket Case" I have been these past few months - so this basket means so much. Thank you, Judy.




On Sunday, Sonny Boy, came over for dinner. It was just the two of us and it's so nice to have him all to myself at times. He also brought me the first two cucumbers from his garden. I had started the plants from seeds and insisted that he plant them and now we are reaping the rewards.


Today was supposed to be Chemo Day (can you believe it's been 3 weeks already?), but they didn't have a nurse to do the infusion, so I have a day reprieve. Any good thoughts coming my way will be greatly appreciated.



Last, but certainly not least, I want to thank my friend and fellow-blogger, Mrs. Staggs http://ahappymiscellany.typepad.com/ for all of her kindness and good wishes that she has directed my way. I'm going to be dancing in those new shoes really soon, Lena - just like Cinderella.
