Dad-a-thon and I went to see this movie last night. The subtitle is "True love goes beyond romance." Well put. It was very very good. Bring tissues, but please do find it and go.

Update: Here is the trailer.

A Very Very Bad Hair Day

I decided to shape up the 'do. So I had chosen two hairstyles--one that kept the length and one that returned to my very short hair. I decided to go with the longer one for now. That way, I could always go short afterward. My stylist and I also thought it would be good to make my hair dark and put in some big chunky dramatic highlights.

HMMMM......

Somehow a hairstyle that looked fabulous on the model looks like some kind of trailer trash-barfly-rodeo queen combo. It's so very sad. Thankfully my stylist is a gem. She told me to come back tomorrow (today) and we'll go for the very short, very blonde look I have had before and know works well on me. In the mean time, YeeHaw!

Fun and Beautful Jewelery

My friend makes this gorgeous jewelery and I thought you might like to take a peek, since Christmas is coming up. I have a couple of her creations, and have given them as gifts, too. They are unique and creative and very individual. She is a stay at home mom and makes all the jewelery herself. She ships to the mainland, too. I added her website to my links but here it is as well.
UPDATE: She has named her pieces, and you just might recognize a few :-)

So Many Topics...

So little time.
Blogging is somewhat of a therapy for me. (It is probably a big therapy for my husband and friends, too, in that I (might) yack a little less at them!) Lately, I have had a plethora of things to mull over through this medium of blogging, and conversely no time to do it. The result is that I am fried.

I am learning--through the cactus and glass route--that I am a mere mortal. For the first time in my life I am finding myself saying, "I just can't do it all." Generally I have been able to finagle my life in a way that I can do just about everything that I take on. I have learned not to take on as much as I used to, but even that seems to be a steep learning curve for me.

The problem, as I see it, is that I have lost my groove. I'm in a funk. Not depressed, just...well, something's not quite right. It's like a little sand in my shorts, or a small rock in my shoe...something's not quite right with Mama's world. And you know how THAT goes!

I'm deep in scripture, so that's a plus. I'm even making myself read something mildly funny and interesting that will likely not grow me in any way. I'm trying to get some exercise now and then. I don't know what it is, but something's not right in my world....Until I get that straightened out, my heart just won't be in my work. And that is simply unacceptable to me.

So! To recap: I have an unidentifiable issue that is frustrating my ability to think and focus on my work and responsibilities, which causes me to do them half way. In turn this is frustrating because I hate to "phone it in."

OK then. Welcome to the crazy train :-) Keep your arms and legs inside the ride at all times.....
