I'm allergic to Mondays....
Saturday was busy. I picked up my niece and the baby, and we hit the mall. That baby is a doll to take anywhere since she is always pleasant, never fusses. I know that's bound to change at some point, but right now, she's just a delight. At almost 7 months old, she is 18 pounds and 29.5 inches tall... what a monster!

Out of the mouths of babes
For no real reason, I decided to colour my hair this weekend. Fall fever? Just a 28-day rinse, but something to brighten it a bit. I picked up the colour I have used before - medium auburn. Quite close to my natural colour, but a little more vibrant. The box said "new and improved"...
Uh huh.
Medium auburn, no. Metallic copper-orange-pink, yes. ( Read more... ) -
Of cats and mice ...
Fabulous weather over the weekend again, so I was outside for most of it. On Saturday I picked up my niece and the baby, and took them out my aunt's place, so they could meet the baby for the first time. The baby is the first "great great" niece, so that was fun. My aunt and uncle have a summer place right on the Bras D'or Lakes (salt water), so it ( Read more... ) -
I'm alive
I promise I'm alive and well ... just horribly AWOL and playing catch up on everyone's posts. Absolutely nothing is happening in my life, so you're not missing out on any news. LOL!
Will post a real update when I can. Heat wave is over, so I may be able to type again without melting into the keyboard. *grin* -

What. Have. I. Done??
I was never athletic, never involved in sports at school, didn't even have a bicycle. Of course I ran and played with the other kids, but was just as happy (or happier) to be under a tree with a book. (I'm a redhead and there was no sunscreen "back then ( Read more... ) -
HABEMUS PAPAM FRANCISCUM!
Once a Catholic, always a Catholic. I'm "lapsed", as we say, due to my many personal disagreements about the church, yet I do still identify with being Catholic. I couldn't watch the Oscars, but was mesmerized by the Conclave. Funny, isn't it? And when it was announced that "We have a Pope", I couldn't turn away.
Pope Francis I. The first non- ( Read more... ) -

Warped Perceptions
I was in the mall and saw some pretty sundresses on sale - not for me, but they caught my eye, so I wandered closer. What I saw shocked me. They came in sizes 2 (S), 4 (M), 6 (L), and 8 (XL). When did size 8 become XL? In what universe is a size 8 an extra-large?? What are we doing to our daughters? When a sweet little size 6 girl needs to ( Read more... )
