Metamorphosis

Back in January, I quit my full time job of 13 years to concentrate on my at home business.
With so much more free time, I spent most of my time on, manicures, hair appointments, eyelash extensions and leisurely brunches and basic lazy days.

During one quick shopping trip I dropped by Wal-Mart to pick up a few things and I was surprised by it being a “different place”.
It was a lot of moms with their kids and retired people.
The pace was SLOW, no one was rushed and I felt totally out of place.
I was in full makeup in my faux fur jacket looking at laundry baskets.
But hey that’s me, no reason not to take care of you first!

Another time, I picked up mom in hot diva car to go shopping and despaired we were dressed alike.

But today, something happened.
I had on my not so dirty only wore them once Capri’s
My good t-shirt, by good I mean it is long and covers my big gut (no control tops for me!)
A banana clip in my hair
No manicure
No make up
Glasses on as contacts are a bother.

Me: Does my hair look alright in this clip
Her: Ummm
Me: Ok, it’s out. Better? (Wild hair stands up all over), do you have a comb?
Her: No
Me: Looking in vanity mirror, well shit.
Her: I know
Me: Wth (*&,#) when did this happen?
Her: I think it’s been coming on a while now.
Me: Well………………………sh*&t

LOL

Monday, we are going back to high maintenance.

Tuesdays Around Town

Today on Tuesdays around Town, we are not going far from home.
Pictured is my own old crappy house that I actually managed to get some flowers planted
We even got the flower beds cleaned up, weeded and threw some mulch in to cover the other flaws.
WOW
I know
Be kind dear internet.
Martha Stewart I am not
But I am quite proud of them.
I think they turned out pretty well
Plus I can actually cross it off my to do list.

Tag You're It

I worked all day yesterday
Then I did a couple hours this morning
I lie back down to get some sleep and couple hours later I hear a knock at door.
Goober is going bonkers, bouncing up and down and barking.
I open door, hair standing up all over, with a sleep filled head.
It’s a cop there.
WTH?

Officer: I am afraid someone has put gang graffiti on your garage
ME: We've been tagged?
Officer: Afraid so mam, we have some suspects in mind
ME: Who is it? (Bloods, crypts, who, wth I live in Mayberry)
Officer: We think it’s a kid two streets over
ME: Erm ok so I’ll get the old man to paint it then
Officer: That might be best mam
ME: Erm ok
Officer Can I see your id card?
ME: Still in fog thinks wth where my business cards, oh wait I don’t have any
Scribbles name on index card and hands it to him
Officer: Looks confused
ME: I am out of business cards but that’s me, been here 20 years
Officer: Have a nice day mam
ME: You too

If we end up in the paper I will scan it and put it up for you

Adventures

Something has happened to me today.
I have thrown off my lazy diva ways and have all sorts of plans for the weekend

Here is todays

Get dressed, put on make up, do hair, and even wear contacts!
Hit all the garage sales in town
Plant flowers in my flower beds ( a first in 3 years)
Make dinner and have company over
Work on line job for 3 hours tonight.

Wow
What do you think?
Can this former work-aholic transformed into a sluggish stay at home mom
pull it off?

Updates to follow

Tuesdays around Town

This is how all the streets look in my town.
Its just crazy how all these big ole trees are all over and canopy the streets
Which is not the norm in most towns around here as home owners replace them with different smaller trees.
Its not a town ordinance or anything just everyone here loves their old monster trees in front of their house despite the fact we get horrid thunder storms that wreck havoc and send them tumbling on to our heads
Awesome.


Also visited the brother and his finace while out and this is their lovely dog Riley
He was saved from a shelter and we think he has irish setter in him and maybe some golden retriever. Goober and him are exact same colour.
He has his own lovely look though.
Note the troll hair.
Troll hair better seen in this picture. It will not stay down no matter what!
He a big lovey thing too.
So fun
