In the Swing of Things Again

I hope I don’t get arrested for stealing the photo from Facebook. It made me laugh. I had such a wonderful Friday, yesterday. I did errands at the pharmacy and everything on my list was buy one get one free. While getting a mani/pedi, I couldn’t take my eyes off a young woman who should be the poster girl for cosmetic surgery gone wrong. I have never seen such huge lips, cheeks, or boobies on anyone that thin or young in my life. Afterwards, I was praying that the little boutique, called WOW, I discovered last year was still in business. It was and I lugged home a gigantic bag of goodies. Date night was wonderful as usual. Today, I’m returning to WOW for the newest items that will be out of the boxes in the back room. I don’t want to miss a thing from that shop. But best of all, I have an appointment at WOW to get angel hair. It is strands of sparkles and or colors permanently put on hair, which remains until the hair strands fall out naturally. My husband will certainly be surprised. He knows I’m going to have something done, but I didn’t tell him exactly what. He was adamant about not cutting my hair, not changing my hair color, and not braiding my hair. I love being in the swing of things in Florida. Never a dull moment!

Your cartoon is hilarious! Actually made me laugh out loud! Happy Saturday to you, and I hope your hair looks amazing after you get done at WOW. Please post pictures!!! I do have to ask, why wouldn't your husband want you to braid your hair? I love girls who braid their hair!

Glad I could make you laugh. Judging from your avatar, it looks like you need a good laugh. Happy Saturday to you, too! We shall see how it looks. My husband was thinking along the lines of Bo Derek braids. Even I know I would look foolish and ridiculous in them. I do love braids and have worn them before when my hair was longer.

@DianneN Oh, Bo Derek braids. Yeah, I never liked that look, although I was in love with Bo Derek after "Ten" came out!

Hopefully, unless I ruin my hair! Wish me luck on the hair. I don’t need luck on the clothes there. Everything always fits! Love that store!

I remember a girl I went to school with who had very large lips, the poor thing was the victim of so much teasing about that back then, I'll be now she's thrilled to be in vogue without needing any kind of surgery

I can't wait to see the picture of you in angel hair. I have to say, you're doing exactly what he told you. You're not cutting, coloring, or braiding. I wonder what she hoped to accomplish with that 'look'. I'm sure it was hideous. Have fun at WOW.

Exactly! He was very worried, but I do hope he likes it. If it comes out okay, I may post a photo. Oh, I only wished that you could have seen her! Hideous freak!

@DianneN She would probably make a good cartoon character. Do you remember Roger Rabbit and that one dame the detective thought was Jessica Rabbit?

Is that a Gary Larson cartoon (The Far Side)? It sure looks like one. You are such a shop-a-holic. You didn't share with us what you purchased. Definitely let us see your hair after it's done.

I have no idea. Could be. Shopping is my favorite hobby. I bought so many gorgeous and unique things from dresses, to pants, capris, tops, and jackets. That store is fabulous! Everything fit and I bought everything I loved in the store. My camera can’t capture my hair, but I did get a couple of strands. I will post it once I complete my notifications.

@LindaOHio Thank you! I only leave the old ones in Florida, but never wear them. I’m going to give a lot to a consignment shop. I ship the new ones home to wear in the summer.

Ha ha! Another wonderful Friday in Florida - shopping, pampering and date night! I just have to wonder about crazy plastic work . . . I mean, it looks so strange and unnatural. Hope you have a fun filled weekend too!

@DianneN If only all days were fabulous - that'd be more than fabulous ! We see photos online or on TV of those plastic goofs, but it's another thing to see that in person . Gosh I don't know why people feel they have to go that far .

I wish every day could be lived like Friday. Today hasn’t been too far behind, however. I really wish you could have seen her. I’m surprised her plastic surgeon didn’t talk her out of it. Boy, was she a freaky looking horror!

@much2say It would be so much fun, but I suppose it would get boring after a while. I put all my new clothes in my closet and won’t look at them until I need to. That’s how I surprise myself all over again. Seeing it in person was a shock to me. I tried so hard not to stare, but I couldn’t help myself. She caught me several times.

I just looked it up, too, for the first time, and saw half my wardrobe hanging up. The best thing is that her clothes fit! I went back for more today. Her sister has a very large shop in Boston. I have to visit it sometime. Many thanks!

From what's been said previously since mylot doesn't get outside traffic what pics are used shouldn't be the issue they are on other sites. But some should label their folder that way so they don't accidentally use them elsewhere where it might count. Have fun getting your hair done. I'd have roo grow mine or to do something like that.

The cartoon is cute. Your husband will love your new look. There is a WOW in Eugene. We are going there this summer. My cousin told me where it is. Eugene is the closest big city around. A two hour drive.

Thanks! That’s some drive. I hope you stop into Wow! I didn’t realize there were more than two until I looked online. Our younger son is in Boston for the second time this week. It’s a good 2 hour 30+ minute drive. I don’t know how he does it.
