Wake Up and Make Up

60-something year old Granny to her 18 year granddaughter "Where are you off to?"

"Nowhere, why?"

"Why are you wearing make-up?"

"Because it makes me feel good"

*HUFF* "You kids these days wear far too much make-up"


Granny is wearing make-up, but not going anywhere. Her foundation is so thick she must've used a pallet knife to smear it on - and it's two shades too dark with heavy powder and blusher.

18 year old is wearing a light foundation that perfectly matches her fair skin and some light powder to counteract the shine.  Her eyes are defined with black eyeliner.  

When granny kisses anybody, she leaves a lipstick smear behind.  18 year old, either wears no lipstick at all, or wears a natural lightly applied lipstick that stays on her lips.

 (Da daa da daaaaa …. A hula hoop post) You’ve heard all the talk… hula hooping is a great exercise and gets your tummy in good shape (and all the other good stuff that goes with it)… You’ve tried hooping with your child’s hula hoop, and failed… miserably…  Then you went off to a department store and found a hoop in the gym section, and thought you’d give that a try too.  Maybe it worked, perhaps it didn’t.  You try and try and try… And the hoop keeps falling.  You want to give up.  I nearly did, but I persisted. Next step.  You google hula hoops and discover that hula hoops aren’t all the same.  You actually get such a thing as an ADULT HULA HOOP.  So what’s the difference?  A small kiddies hoop is made of very light plastic and is teeny tiny.  I know many kids who can’t keep a kiddies hoop up!!

In general I'm much happier these days.  Busier. Hectic, in fact. Life waits for no-one. This week I'm having a particular bad week.  I'm feeling terribly down. Everything is getting me down. Artist unknown. If you know of the artist, please let me know so I can rightfully credit them

Life is Wonderful

This month has been a bit of a hectic financial month. It started with a vet visit for my Bionic dog, Bella. I nicknamed her Bionic Bella, not because she has any robotic parts, but she's looks like she's been through 5 different wars. She's always been the dog to come out second best in a fight, but she's also made it through some situations other dogs would not have. Bella and Koda (my 3 year old pup who is about 5 times her size) had a fight one night. She had a few scratches but nothing serious. The way she is, she carried on like nothing was wrong (I once came home to find half her cheek hanging off - her and her brother Odie had been in a fight). She developed an abscess and I had to take her to the vet to get her on a course of antibiotics.
