Do I miss them? A little bit...but this week so far I have walked twelve miles, had a three hour lunch date with a dear friend yesterday and this morning after walking, I returned my broken Brighton bracelet back to the little boutique that I had originally purchased it and they are going to replace it. Oh yes, I couldn't resist, I had to buy a new one as well.
I've started cleansing my face with oil. This is something I've wondered about for awhile and since have done some research, I've decided to give it a try. True, it's only been a week but I think I can say my skin appears to be more youthful and that's a good thing. My "cleansing concoction " is two ounces of Castor oil, one half ounce each of grapeseed oil and jojoba oil. What sold me is this: even if your skin is dry, it still has oil on it and oil attracts oil. Plus, I've always had relatively good skin, I just want to keep it that way.
Every so often I have a really weird dream. Last night I was at a small gathering and Brad Pitt was there. We talked like old friends and he happened to have the big diamond ring with him, the one that he was going to give Angie. He was very proud of it and asked for my opinion. I love diamonds and I was thrilled to have a peek. The ring was way too gaudy for me but I told him that I thought Angie would love it. And then... I tried to talk him into having the wedding at Ha Ha Tonka State Park. Honestly, that was my dream!
We finally got rid of the yellow! What a big improvement! Today is more shopping; only it's little bathroom paint, ceiling fans for the new office and upstairs bedrooms, and a wireless doorbell. Plus, I need to start thinking about what color I want in the dining room which we may start using once it has had it's much needed make-over. Anyway, the scaffolding has come down and we are beginning to see our house come together. Yay! Next big thing is the new cabinets two weeks away!
To celebrate my next to the last day of subbing, I brought home take-out ribs for dinner. I knew Hubby would like them. Although I don't eat a great deal of meat; I have to say they tasted really good. Tomorrow at school we are celebrating with a popcorn party and the movie, Balto. I love Balto, he's one of my favorite dog heroes. Today was show and tell day and we had quite a collection: a needlepoint jewelry box shaped like an old fashioned stove and filled with "junk," a photo of a beloved lop-eared bunny named Scoup who died of old age on Easter morning, a fake butterfly enclosed in a glass jar that fluttered around when you rubbed the lid. My contribution; two pieces of genuine whale baleen and a shiny Sacagawea dollar which I did not pass around.
He asked me yesterday if He died on Friday or did He come back to life on Friday. I was touched. This was in the middle of a Math lesson. Yes, I said, you have it right, He did die on Friday and then on Sunday, he came back to life and that's why we celebrate Easter. Oh, I knew I had it right, he said.
Because the "Head Shed" gave us Good Friday off, I am down to six days (twelve hundred dollars) left and I will officially be finished with my long term subbing job. That's a new vanity in my little guest bathroom! Besides the money, these guys are really growing on me and I'm afraid that I might miss them when I leave. But I'll still enjoy being home laying around in my pajamas too! Little Sam has done a great job being kenneled all day; no accidents in either his cage or on the nice, new wood floors! That just goes to show you that you can teach a old dog (eleven years) new tricks. My posting has been sporadic lately but I will soon have lots more time for walking, shopping, reading, having lunch out with friends... oh, I'm so glad I'm retired!
