Pleasantly Pampered

On Thursday I had a NOON hair appointment and ventured out into the WIND that was blowing above and beyond breezy.  SPRING LIKE TEMPS in the 70s, but the wind was more like the month of MARCH blowing in like a lion. 



HAIR was washed, curled and dried under a huge hair drier.  This was how I pampered myself this week.  PAMPERED and rested. To sit under the drier and sip bottled water while thumbing through an old magazine in a BEAUTY PARLOR was pleasant.  Shirley Temple curly HAIR was back with product in my hair.

Last week my PAMPER was a visit to have my eyes examined. WOW that was exciting...not so bad, but not relaxing. Tension.  

Hubby was HOME ill.  We have had a difficult time kicking ear aches and coughs.  He's gone back to the doctor with an ear infection he'd been battling.  To PAMPER himself it was a much needed NAP and antibiotic.  REMEMBER to eat yogurt when on antibiotics since yogurt helps to replace the GOOD stuff back into the gut as antibiotics take away.

We did watch an old 1997 movie in the evening that I thought was very well done, ROBINSON CRUSOE.  Liked it and want to watch it again.

THE WIND HOWLED late into the night.  HOWLED. Today it is calmer with the sun still shining. Noticing some small buds on our trees.  SPRING is way early.  I will need to rake the flower beds and grounds soon to prepare for SPRING.

I stayed up till 1:30 in the morning watching youtube videos of a very southern Lady from South Carolina that I believe the Lord wanted me to find.  I LOVED her clean clean clean uncluttered house she showed the world through youtube.  NOW I know I can do this once again and be pleased as punch that I de-cluttered our HOME.  These videos encouraged me to get it together.

Vitamins and minerals were mentioned on one of her videos and I know full hearted that I have got to get back to taking my vitamins. Especially B12, Vitamin E, D3.  Article later.

So very glad the week-end is here.

The smell of frying bacon is filling the house as we will have Breakfast for our LUNCH.  Fried eggs, toast and bacon.  This really is an economic way to feed your family.  

THE BEST TOAST comes from the oven and not a toaster. Delicious and crunchy!  Soooooo very good. 


A couple pieces of toast, bacon, and fried eggs makes for a great meal any time of day on our plates.  THANKFUL for ways to economize after working on our medical bills.  I am seeing double from all the numbers.  Juggling the accounts to where they will fit into our BUDGET that has no room for these additional expenses. This will pass.  Thankful for that.  

Remembering ways my Mother economized the food for a family of six.  Gelatin cannot be ALL BAD for you when it's so good for strengthening one's fingernails.  I need help with my nails since taking synthroid.  Mom usually fixed gelatin salads with fruit mixed into it.  ORANGE Jello with shaved carrots or CHERRY Jello with Fruit Cocktail.  GREEN Lime Jello with Pears!  Those were the days.



Applesauce as a side dish, Cottage Cheese, COLD Bologna Sandwiches with a cheese slice, crisp Potato Chips, Milk to drink....typical lunch for elementary school kiddos.

TACOS

TACOS were another delicacy.

Now I am in the mood to fix a Jello Salad.

Have a SWEET WEEK-END,
