HAPPY 30TH BIRTHDAY TO THESON!

Theson has hit another milestone today...the big 3-0!! And I am amazed he has made it this far with some of the antics and scares he has put me through. No, honestly, he has been a wonderful son, doing the strange things "kids" do - to keep their parents on their toes.

To meet him in person, he truly does not appear as he really is. He marches to his own drummer, is quite intelligent, and hilariously funny.

I am also amazed he has made it to this ripe "old age" and still hates to initiate - PHONE CALLS. I think he would rather have a heart transplant than to have to actually call someone to finesse a deal, make an appointment or just shoot the shite.

He is an engineer for a large corporation and travels all around the world - as a matter of fact, he will be leaving for Egypt (for a year) the first of the year (January).

I just want everyone to know how proud I am of my son. He is honest (almost to a fault), loyal and monogamous. To have him as a friend is truly a delight. To have him as a son is pure JOY! He is the best "Uncle" to his nephew (thegrandson), and a true buddy to B-Town Boyz. Emma gets a big chunk of his heart also!

Guess this all sounds like a proud mother's ravings...so be it....enough said.

LUV YA BUNCHES! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MERRY CHRISTMAS, blah, blah, blah!!

time for a change --- and I love it!!

Today, I finally got the haircut I have been wanting forever, but several different operators at several different salons have always cut my hair the way "THEY WANT!" I haven't been this happy about anything hair related in quite some time. And as you can see from my profile pic, I do have gray hair (with a shock of pure white in the front.) So, I also asked for something great in a color change - and I am ecstatic. It is now like a strawberry blonde with lighter highlights. I know these aren't the best pics - but I will try for some better ones later. So far (if my friends are not lying), I have been told I look from 10 to 20 years younger. That is always a nice compliment.

I have to thank my oldest daughter, because after many trips to various salons, I was about to give up on getting what I want. Everytime my daughter and I get together I always tell her how much I love her haircut - and three weeks ago, she gave me a business card for the salon that takes care of her hair needs. I called yesterday and "boom" got an appointment for today. The girls are lovely and tell you what they are doing and how to maintain styles. I am on cloud nine - oh and btw the name of the salon is Cloud9.

I have totally gotten pissed at every place I have gone, because I clearly explain what I want - and inevitably my hair is teased and my bangs are rolled into a little "turd" that lays across my forehead - DUH!?!?! NOT PRETTY. This girl knew exactly what I wanted and helped pick ut a terrific color combination - and all was complete in an hour and a half.

I could go on - but this is for Slyght (theson) and my oldest daughter to see. Thank you baby - you steered me to a place I will stick with!!! Luv ya guys!!

Stay healthy all and TTFN!! 31 days and we are outta here!!
