Pretty cloudy....and I don't move very fast when it's not bright and shinie ....thus the late entry again today. I stayed up late last night....couldn't go to bed after all the excitement of the evening. I stayed in bed till 9 a.m.....so I got my 8 hours in.
I was getting ready to go shopping yesterday when I got a call from Jan Ranum (long time friend and beautician). She said she had a gift for me that someone had given her and she thought I should have it. I scarfed down my lunch and headed over to pick it up. OMG it was a beautiful one-of-a-kind and limited edition textile art-to-wear. (that's what the tag says) It's actually called a shawl but hard to explain unless you see it. I told Jan I was going to the college foundation event and would wear it...and I did. I got so many compliments on it....it is shades of green, and I wore a goldie green top under it....along with my cool green boots I got at Tom and Karen's store last winter. I was told I looked like a fashion plate....and felt really good in-spite of my very very thin hair...which is also very gray. I'm afraid to have it colored and lose what little I have left. Now that I'm done with chemo for awhile, I'll wait till before I go to Georgia. There are a few fuzzy area's where new hair it coming in. Not that it will be much longer three weeks from now.
Besides looking great, or my outfit looked great, I had a great time last night as well. I bid on about six items, but only came home with one, a restaurant gift certificate. I bought a mum plant they were selling after using for decorations, and then I got to bring home this huge bouquet of balloons. It's Matthew's birthday party on Sunday, and I'm hoping they still look great then.
Along with all of that the food sampling was good and the visiting with people I hadn't seen in ages was the best. Some I didn't expect to see and others I knew would be there. All and all it was what I needed to boost my spirits!
Not a lot planned for today, cept shopping for a shed for the cabin with Doug. He said he would let me know when he is available and meet me at Menards. Also have to get a list of wood for the floor that Jimbo left for us. (Jim and Ann are in Cleveland watching the Twins this weekend) Jimbo emailed yesterday and said the permit for the landscaping finally came through, and he had called to get the utilities marked so the landscaper can start next week....finally!!! I thought it would start the first of September not October. The guy who was supposed to take out the stumps two weeks ago hasn't done that yet either. What is it with these guys? The weather this week hasn't made me miss the cabin. I'd prefer being there when the sun is shining and it's warm. But looking forward to seeing it when the landscaping is done.
That's it for today....love and prayers, m
