Oy vey and Oy gevalt …in keeping with the little Yiddish I know, I pretty much schlep thru Monday and Tuesday this week. Totally bummed as I managed to catch a cold... I had made it thru 4.5 months of the season managing to ward off all germs and one trip to St. Louis did me in. Trying to be grateful as it’s only a “mild” cold but never the less debilitating. Maintaining the good juju that I’m already on the mend and fighting this thing like gangbusters.
I dunno if it’s because I’ve been feeling under the weather but I certainly haven’t felt like I’ve looked my best (major understatement), maybe more so than in a long while. I guess I’m posting this more for solidarity than anything but I have the overwhelming desire for a MAKEOVER. In an effort to take back my week, after not one but two days of trekking out in public in a disturbingly unattractive state, this morning I was determined to upgrade my look even if I had little to no energy. I’m a firm believe that if you feel good you will feel good…get me?
Being that a new wardrobe isn’t in the budget or even necessary I made up a “new outfit”, a combination of existing clothes and accessories that felt like new. I even decided to slab on some self tanner to warm up my look. Note to self: not something to be done when in a hurry. Potentially regretting the decision given some streaky bits around my wrist and ankles; oh well, nothing some lemon juice won’t erase. I even managed to run by the dreaded WalMart before work and grab some hair color. Okay this may never come to pass but I like the idea of having a little box of affordable excitement waiting under my sink whenever I get the itch. Then again I might be hasty tonight and lament it in the morning. Granted, it’s a lot easier to repair than the fleeting desire for home-made bangs.
Just a few thank you‘s that are proving to repair and brighten my mid- week:
Pandora for your almost telepathic mix of peppy, happy tunes, the steal of a deal $1 gallon of tea that simply warmed and poured in my favorite coffee cup to get a Starbucks-esque comfort, the family size bag of peanut M and M’s for on sale, my trusty collection of headbands to save me from actually doing anything to my hair, not sure who deserves the recognition but in possible collective effort my phone as been eerily yet comfortably silent today, and maybe just a bit preemptive but the option to have a pizza night when all else fails.
