Monday already?

Well I didn't get to make the trip to the country. I did get to my meeting on SAturday morning and now I'm signed up to sell PartyLite candles. I go tonight for new consultant meeting to order my starter kit. I'm totally excited about this. I'll still be able to write but I can make some extra cash on the side.

I decided that it was time for a change. And I really went all out. I got my hair cut. First time in...4 years? Now for people who know me, getting a hair cut is like just wrong. I called my SIL and told her I wanted it done. She freaked, "are you ok? Have you got a fever? What's happened?" I calmed her and went to her house and got it done. I still have the length, that wont change, but It's layered and I now have long bangs. Once I can I'll put a new photo on here. But it doesn't end there.

Back when I went to Branson with my mom I dyed my hair. Well, I went to do the touch up...and added more to the rest of my head. I came out of the bathroom. All three of my dogs barked and growled at me, my little Cairn bit me. They didnt recognize me! Of coursew my DH laughed at me...He almsot got to sleep on the sofa.

Getting ready for church yesterday morning, I came out feeling all great...once again DH laughed. My DD just kinda sighed and went "Umm ok" (DH took us to lunch at Pasta House to make up for laughing at me...) In the truck, I pulled down the visor mirror to put on my lipstick and it was a jolt, LOL

Then at church yesterday, my one aunt and her daughter were there when I walked in. I smiled at them...they didnt recognize me either! They had to take a second look! It was amazing the reactions I got! People were just completely shocked at the transformation. I felt GREAT! I've lost a bit of weight, not alot, not enough, but some. I feel like a new woman!

Yes my son is still gone, but I have finally talked to him. He tells me he'll be at the family Christmas gathering, but I'm not holding my breath. I think my breakdown last week was something I really needed. Am I going to keep up feeling this good, maybe. I know as we get closer to the holiday I'm going to struggle, but I CAN survive this and I will.

In writing news, I'm still working, but I'm not rushing through this. I've slowed down, the pacing is still a little off, but I am working on it and it is getting stronger. Besides, the longer it takes me to write this, the longer I have to observe men in uniform and the actor I'm using as a physical base for my hero (my CPs know who this is...). And let me tell you, that is just such a strain...yeah RIGHT!

I need to find a shut off switch for my brain. I'm coming up with more ideas than I have time to write. An odd occiurance (for me this doesn't happen often) I dreamed a story idea. Another suspensful type idea. Guess I really do have a twisted mind.. LOL

I need to get moving have to get more writing done before i have to take off for my meeting tonight.

Happy READING!!!
