Shades of Grey

Good morning dear friends.  We had a gorgeous weekend here in the Northeast and the Mister and I took full advantage of it.  No day trips, but multiple trips to a kaleidoscope of nurseries.  By the way - we weren't the only ones who thought it was a good idea to tackle our gardening.  The lines were long, but after all was done, it was well worth the wait.

  

Love update.  The marathoner did indeed hear from someone who knew this dashing smoocher - his wife.  Evidently, she was a good sport, though.

Didn't Kate look beautiful leaving the hospital with her new bundle of joy!  Lucky for me no one took a pic of me when I left the hospital after having #1.  I left with maternity pants stained with mustard still stretched to the limit, mascara stained face, matted hair, and a look of don't ever touch me again, Mister plastered on my face.

Has anyone noticed the new trend of grey hair among young women?  My 30ish hair stylist is even wearing it.  I don't get it, I do every thing I can to get rid of mine.

Speaking of grey hair, I ordered this powder on line. You take the little brush and apply the root powder to the part and hair line when grey hairs make an appearance, which is about 2 weeks after I get my color done.  I think I have the fastest growing hair in the world.  I was skeptical, but curious.  I think it does a great job to get me through in a pinch.  It's suppose to last until the next shampoo, but I wouldn't go that far.  It did get me through the day, though.  You can find their website here.

My #1 introduced me to these make up blending sponges for liquid foundation.  You wet the sponge, squeeze out the water, and dab the foundation on your skin with pats - no blending.  It makes the skin look airbrushed.  I will say that it looks a lot more airbrushed on a 23 year old than it does on a 30ish woman.  There is an improvement though.  I bought mine on Amazon.

Just finished this book.  I have read almost all of Sue Miller's books because I enjoy her writing and character development.  This one is a great story, but I do feel that the story ending fell flat. 

The Mister picked this movie out On Demand the other night.  I did not have high hopes and the reviews were not stellar.  But I have to admit that I really enjoyed it.  I even shed a tear at the end and it wasn't for John Travolta's bad face lift, either.


Until next time...
