ALL OVER THE PLACE

Good Evening Friends... Sorry it has taken me a few days to return and make a post , it has been quite the entertaining week already ! Monday  was wasted... as most should be! I spent it in bed with my head under the covers waiting for it to pass ! lol  I wasted a LOT of time on Pinterest...I was trying to find Valentines Inspiration for the Princess for her class at  school and hairstyles for myself ! As, I mentioned before I'm not a trendy , styling kinda gal , so though I love and appreciate many things ...picking things like clothes or hairdo's out for myself is NEVER an easy task ! However ...a few weeks ago...after much nagging by Princess and her "daddy",  I made an appointment with my friend and stylist Nicole  to get myself a haircut !( a late Christmas gift from the before mentioned ear benders)  For most it's not a big deal ...for me it's a HUGE DEAL  , as I haven't had even a trim in over 15 months !!!

These are my before pics ...look how long my hair has grown ...sheesh ! Because of all the meds I take, procedures I've had done and my diseases my hair was getting so thin and falling out everywhere !!! I could wash laundry and find it wrapped up in all the clean laundry , or wake in the morning sweaty with it wrapped around my neck choking me ! So, after hours on Pinterest I had lots of ideas ...which were all over the place and no definite clue as to what to do ! :(

Tuesday Morning I woke up , doubled up my pain meds so I could make the trip to the salon , and be able to sit for a short while to get my hair done !I arrived at the salon and sat in the chair, looked at my AMAZING stylist and after many questions , all I could figure out was that I DESPERATELY needed a CHANGE and because of lack of funds and the ability to visit frequently I needed low to no maintenance ... finally I  said " I have NO CLUE , what to do , I TRUST YOU , SURPRISE ME !" Well and hour and half later , I left the salon feeling like I had lost 20 pounds , and was feeling SASSY and my new mahogany color with plum highlights gave my "sparkle " new life ! The Princess kept telling me all night ..."you don't even look like my Mommy anymore ", "you look like a HIPSTER !" ...I don't know what that really means but I'm going to take it as 9 year old FLATTERY!

That brings us to this morning ...GOOD OL' HUMP DAY !  Today was beautiful , high 50's and SUNSHINE ! This morning I got the pleasure of a 9 am psych evaluation , ordered by the Department of Disability ...apparently just a stepping stone in  road to approval or denial! Anyone that has followed me for quite awhile, met me in person or knows me ...ALREADY KNEW I WAS CRAZY !  It was an interesting appointment to say the least and though I FAILED MISERABLY at counting backwards from 100 by 7's , he did say that at this time he was uncertain if I required meds or additional treatment as he felt some of my trouble is caused not by "problems" but by pain and my health issues ...and that I do have PTSD, OCD, ADHD, and am mildy depressed and have mild anxiety disorder issues ...and something else that I can't remember , that  I couldn't pronounce if I tried ...basically certain sounds IRRITATE ME ! Not too shabby , or at least what I think he said didn't seem too bad....I mean not many could live through and with all that I do and have and remain perfectly sane...however it really doesn't matter to me at this point , but I am highly amused by the fact that my level of CRAZY is now CERTIFIABLE and on paper ! lol Just in case you needed to know ! lol



THE BEAUTIFUL VIEW FROM MY FRONT DOOR TODAY



MADE THESE CHEERIO TREATS FOR SNACKS THIS WEEK



This evening while Princess was out on her weekly date night with Granny and Papaw , I took a few minutes and drug out a few tag sale treasures I got over the summer . Great vintage "creepy " vinyl dolls ...I paid $0.15 each for them !!!They needed a bath , and are on the counter drying , so that when I have a decent day I can create something new with them ! I can't wait !!! The smaller of the two is quite strange and really calls to me, however I'm uncertain as to whether I will keep her whole as is or "part her out" and play with a lil mixed media!  She has a tiny head , pink hair, a normal body and muscular man looking arms , and is NEKKED!!! The larger head came on nicely jointed body with a missing leg , so I "decapitated " her ...she seems to have been a doll of better quality her hair is sewn on not glued, her eyes are bright and gorgeous , she's very detailed ... I have SWEET plans for her ! What would you do if you had dollies like these?

Well I hope my mismatched , scatter brained post , hasn't bored or confused anyone to death! Wishing each of you a wonderful evening ...and until we meet again ...Ill always be ...just a lil raggedy ! hugs
