The Results*
When I got home from visiting with the fam, there was a message from my doctor waiting for me on my answering machine. No details, just brief message asking me to call the office when I got a chance. I was curious all weekend, even though I knew the message would most likely be something less than good. I mean, really now–how often do doctors call you after an appointment just to tell you how awesome and amazingly healthy you are? When I finally got a hold of her today, I learned that the results from my blood work were in. She was a bit concerned as I have low…

She was out shopping with her mother and happened upon a huge selection…

I’ve spent time with Mom and Big Dad, played with Pingo and Hugh (last night Pingo and I shared a bowl of “Pop Pop” and watched American Idol), and I finally cut my hair. For the longest time cutting my hair was an absolute nightmare. When we first moved to B-town from the Great White North almost 10 years ago, I managed to find the best hairdresser here in town. His name was Jeremy and he was…

Thrifty Thursday – The Red Purse*
This was a very exciting thrifting week for me, and I only went out once! I finally found something that I have been looking for for a very long time: The Red Purse. I’m not talking about any old red purse–I’m talking about a red purse in the right shade of red, in the right size, in the right design–one that I can wear with multiple outfits when I want to add a punch of colour. I did find a really cute red Radley Handbag when I did my accessories challenge a few weeks ago, but it’s more of an “outfit purse”. It needs to be worn with a specific…
