HoMe HaPpEnInGs




I'm shaking my head when I see that it's the 20th day of the month ALREADY!!!
Mercy me...where has the month gone? Flew right passed me.

Today was Hair APPOINTMENT Day. I was pleased with the new stylist...she was nice, well groomed and very much a contemporary young Lady with her brownish hair streaked with blonde highlights in a high point ponytail with...I don't know what others call it...but there are SPIKEY STRANDS of hair pointing perkish about the head. Can you imagine this...sorry no pictures today of this big event.

I left with having had her do exactly what I had asked.
Wash my hair.
Cut several inches off the bottom.
Layer the bottom.

She used such good smelling shampoo and applied a mousse afterwards to help control the frizzies.

I left and went to a quilt shoppe



to see the neatest material with funky prints on the fabrics. Off to pick my hubby up to go eat at a new restaurant. Had a California Omelet. Dropped hubby back off to work and went to Ben Franklins. Then time to go home for nap. 30 minute drive and did my best to keep Junior Miss awake till we got home. Success!!! Hurray. She took a 2 and a half hour nap.

Junior Miss was ready for her nap and I was ready for one as well.

I woke up from my nap and looked like I had stuck my finger in a light socket...the frizz control product was not evident!!! I look a fright!!! It will wash out tomorrow or I will just pull my hair back in bun or ponytail. I asked my hubby if I could cut my hair short and very quickly he blurted out, "NO!!!!!" I guess I will have longer hair for a little while longer.

Tonite I had dessert before the meal. This is permitted. My sweet daughter brought home from her workplace a BROWNIE! O Momma it was just right. Moist and delicious. Since it wasn't very large...it was guilt-free.



For Supper we had:
Hamburger Steak
Cooked Carrots
Homemade Gravy over Rice
and Coffee with Creamer

Update on kittens! They're doing well. The neighbor man gave us an update. Yes, the Mother Cat was killed and there were 4 kitties in the litter. The neighbors had been feeding the kittens...they let the kittens out and that is when they ventured out into our backyard. They weren't born in our garage as I thought beforehand. Shucks I was wrong, but glad I was...because these sweet kitties weren't without food for a week.

My Daughter said she'd take care of the kittens...so she has adopted them and named them Pinky and Tootsie. Tonite we had them in the familyroom to play and they are the cutest little things...so playful and fiesty.

Went through some paperwork and here I izzzz typing.
I love you all and pray you are well.

Sounds like a good day. I had a great day too. Met with my faith group for a discussion of the changes in the Catholic religious communities and how to increase their numbers. I don't know the answer. Young folks are not much into the celebrate life any more. Well God will work in his way.

Dd,

You're hair looked great! She did a really nice job of trimming and layering it.

The food at the new eatery was very good. Having lunch with my sweetheart was superb!

The kittens are too cute for words. I love the way they jump at things and run in short bursts. Toddler was having a ball with them. She is a very instructive little momma.

The brownies were good, ate mine on the way home. Didn't feel guilty at all, probably should have.

Thanks for the comment Deanna. I enjoy Wednesday's Walk with Jenilee...she's a sweetie.

Sounds like you had a full day with the hair appointment and the food and the shopping fun...and the nap and the nice dinner and the brownie! Hope the hairdo will work out for you.

Kittens are fun...but their little claws can get ya!

Have a Happy Wednesday!

DECORATING

I knew a very frugal Lady named Edith that shared with me a excellent guideline for decorating. She said with ease, "If your room has clean ceilings, floors, and walls, and the windows have nice curtains, you'll have an attractive room."

As long as I live, I will have to continually submit to God's plan for my life. You will be blessed because you turned your life over to God. Be confessing how good God is and tell Him you agree with who He says He is. BELIEVE and watch miracles happen. Be not afraid. ~Deanna

FUN FACTS FOR CHANDYS

FUN FACTS FOR CHANDYS
SELECTING THE CORRECT SIZE CHANDY TO USE IN A ROOM MADE EASY. FORMULA MEASUREMENTS: Measure the room's height and width. Add together the numbers. Example: 8' x 10' room is 8 plus 10= 18" Use a 18" wide chandy. OR Take width of room calculating 2" for every foot. Example: 15' wide room. Take 15 times 2 = 30. Room needs 30" wide chandy. Standard distance between the bottom of the chandelier to the top of the table is 30 inches. When hanging the chandelier, make sure to hang it at the proper height. The bottom of a chandelier over a dining table or kitchen island should hang 30 to 32 inches above the top of the table or island. Most rooms call for at least 7 feet of space between the bottom of the chandelier and the floor.

WISHES

NO MATTER HOW BADLY YOU WISH with all your might that the something devastating that happened in your life hadn't happened and want so badly to go back in time to prevent it from happening...it isn't humanly possible to do this. You can't change the fact that it happened. IT DID. But JESUS can change the MEANING of what happened to you and give you PEACE. He can show you the way in which you are to go. God richly BLESS you. ~Deanna
