Mother's Day and stuff

Megs painted me a picture for mom's day. So sweet. She also got me a corsage...something that I've only had once on Mother's Day and that's because Dad got me one. My sweet girl. It was a good day. Had a bbq at the parents' with FHE afterward. Overall, a very enjoyable day.

I'm going to the movie with Jones. We didn't quite get our act together soon enough to go to the early movie, so it's the 9:30 show. I'm worried about staying up that late! Now that I am finally able to sleep (insomnia went away) I'm getting very greedy about getting my 7 hours (at least!) So I decided to wash my hair etc. tonight, so I can have less to do in the morning. My hair looks fabulous now, and I've decided to go to the show sans makeup!!!! I never in my life thought I would do something like that, but I am. I think I look great. The wonderful thing about being older is that I am so much more confident! Love it.

The bad thing about being older...I found my first gray hair this week. (sigh) It was, in fact, pure white. I think it is another side effect of menopause/hysterectomy and huge stress. I'm hoping its an only child. But just in case, I got highlights on Saturday. Ironically, just last week my sil asked if I had highlights in my hair. To answer her, I said no, that I hadn't colored my hair in a year and a half because I decided that I wasn't going to color it until I found gray hair. Well....I guess they know now. But the new cut & color is great.
