Hostess with the Mostest

Cnady Bar Bingo - Bring it on!
I decided since the past few posts have been profound and deep, I needed to lighten the mood a little. I have learned so much over the past week with the posts and am really trying to apply thme to my life - thus "I Am - happier" "I Am - the master of my own destiny", "I Am- in control"...We had our annual dental office Christmas party at Dr. Wells house again this year. I have to admit it was a little different. It seems this year is not quite like years past - I can't put my finger on it - it is just different. Not in a bad way, and not in a good way, just different. Is that a sign of aging? I am not sure. I do know this, that 'things' are not as important as people. The ones you love to spend time with, the ones that make you smile, the ones that can put a tear in your eye one moment and chase it away the next. Today is Sacrament meeting two sisters played a duet on the organ and piano and seriously it was the most moving thing I have heard in church ever!!! And I have been going for along time! It was like ushering in the holiday gladness, the magic of the season, the miracle of the Lords' birth. I was over whelmed and lifed up. Anyway back to the party. It was kind of thrown together at the last minute but the food was really good, the doc's wife Mandy made her rendition of Cafe Rio and it was really good. We toppped it off with a slapstick game of candy bar bingo (we so have to play this with you sometime), and a round of Nativity Present pass, with the story of Christmas and every time I said right they passed the gift to the right, and if I said left then to the left, it was a fun way to exchange a litte better than white elephant gifts. Hey what do you think of the new me? I went to an awesome hair salon called Beauty Mark Boutique right here in Hurricane, (Cami Stratton) and she did just what I wanted without knowing what I wanted or being able to put it into words. The dark hair for me is gone, too much gray now and too hard to maintain, at least the blond weave will go a while longer before the roots raise their ugly heads. Who knows I may be a really pretty gray and leave it that way - not for many years my friend!! I am growing out my bangs though and my hair for at least a couple years. Now don't laugh that is for real, Ok I will make a pledge with you that I will. I may have the very ends trimmed along the way but my goal is to have hair about half way down my back in layers so that I can pony tail in the summer for hikes and bike rides etc. I had to talk like a dutch uncle but finally took mom to the store and got her a perm. I did it for her and it looked so good when she left my house. She said she was going to go have it done, and I told her I would do it and save her $80. She finally consented and it turned out really good. I then styled it for her and put some Freeze Spray on it so it wouldn't blow out right away. She really looked good, now how it looked when she got home I can't be responsible for but she sure did look nice leaving my house. She said she was going to have it cut before the perm and I told her NO. After the perm I trimmed the end a little but it sure looked better than when she gets it whacked off. Anyway cut dad's hair too. I said "And I am not the one you paid to go to hair school either - LOL" I sure do love you, this blog is so fun. Where did you get that last post? Is that one of your own thoughts? Take care, talk soon!
