A few sentences about each day...

February 26, 2020 - March 3, 2020

26/Wed ~ I just don't know what to do with my hair!  I don't like my current style.  I can't decide if it is the cut or the highlights.  I might go tomorrow and get "something' done but I'm still not sure what!  I wish I could find a cut/color that I like and just stick with it!

27/Thurs ~ I decided to change up my hair color.  I got rid of my blonde highlights and went with an all-over "mocha".  The highlights are shining through as a reddish color that I love!  I decided to keep the undercut (for now) but let the top layers grow to about chin length.  I have 3"-4" to go.  The stylist did a great job!

28/Fri ~ After school Laken and a few of her friends walked to a nearby coffee shop.  She thought she was big stuff!  hehe  I'm glad she had a good time and it is good for her to spread her wings a bit.

29/Sat ~ Doug worked on the bedroom closets today and we made a trip to Ollie's to look for curtains for on the closets.  Success!  Today is "Leap Day"!

1/Sun ~ February is FINALLY over and my Birth Month is here!  Happy March!

2/Mon ~ My mammogram came back normal.  Hallelujah!  Good to go for another year.  I fasted this morning so I could get my routine blood work done as well.  Now to wait for the results...

3/Tues ~ I have to make it an early night tonight.  Laken and I have to get up at 3am to her ready for the Science Olympiad.  The bus leaves the school at 5am sharp and we have a 30 minute drive to get there.  Laken is so excited about this trip!  She loves science!

Until next week,

Colletta

Tuesday Talk ~ Lately ~ 2/19/19

Today I'm joining Ashley and Erika for Tuesday Talk!

Things I'm thinking about lately:

1.  I have a mammogram scheduled on February 26th.  This is not a new thing for me.  I've been getting mammograms since I was 35, so for 5 years now.  Early screening is kind of a big deal in my family.  Breast cancer is prevalent in our family history.  My grandmother, Audrey, ultimately passed away due to breast cancer complications of breast cancer.  I get a little scared every time I have a mammogram.  The "What Ifs" kick in and stay there until I get the A-OK from my results.

2.  We're having a Family Night on Saturday.  Once a month we make it a point to go out as a family.  It might be for a sit down dinner and a movie at the theater or it could be fast food and a Redbox movie.  I think the consensus amidst the family is to go see "How to Train Your Dragon 3" at the theater.  So I need to quickly catch up on "How to Train Your Dragon 2" or I'm going to be lost!

3.  Every year come February/March I start to become dissatisfied with my hair.  I'm currently trying to grow out a terrible pixie cut and it is taking way too long.  This is about the time that I say "chop it all off!".  I hate the awkward stage of growing out a short cut.  It isn't too bad right now style-wise but I'm getting antsy about the color.  I have a few grays that are coming in and all my color has grown out.  So...should I let my hair go natural (mouse brown with grays and all), color to something like the picture below or get highlights to brighten my hair up overall?  What do you think?

What have you been thinking about lately???

Journal Entry ~ 2/14/18

Happy Valentine's Day!

It has been a busy, busy day.

~I had my yearly bloodwork and mammogram done this morning.  Apparently, I don't drink enough water and my veins weren't "well hydrated".  It took a while to get all the tubes of blood they needed to check whatever it is they are checking.  The mammo was fairly painless.  At least as painless as it can be.  I didn't stick around to get the results.  They'll be mailed to my house.  I pray all is well!

~I stopped by the mall to get my eyebrows done and decided to run into Wal-Mart and get some hair-coloring.  All the coloring that I had from before had grown out and too many grays to pull out were popping up.  The color I picked out isn't extremely different from my natural color.  It just has a bit of red tinting amidst the brown.  It is called Raspberry Truffle and I quite like it.  Now if this horrible hair cut would just grow out a bit faster..

~When I picked the girls up at school, Kaylee informed me that her ear was hurting.  I decided to take her to Med Express and get it checked out.  She does, indeed, have an ear infection.  They prescribed an antibiotic for the infection.  We got to the pharmacy and they had a 30 minute wait.  Ollie's is just down the road, so we decided to head there to kill some time.  I didn't see any books that jumped out at me and it is just as well, because I have a ton of books and haven't even been reading all that much lately.

~Doug went against our agreement and got me a Valentine's Day Card!  Unfortunately, I didn't know he was going to go against our agreement and I didn't get him one!  He also got me some Reese Hearts.  He knows Reese's are my favorite.  He has such a big heart.  Love him!

~The only things I didn't get to on my to-do list today are reading and crocheting.  Those two are always pushed to the back burner as they aren't "necessary".  The new Moogly 2018 CAL block #3 comes out tomorrow.  Hopefully I'll get some time either Friday or Saturday to sit down and crochet.

For now,

Colletta

Journal Entry ~ 2/13/18

Today was a good day!

~I got Dex on the bus, took the girls to school and then hung out with Damon all day. 

~We all had our 6 month dental cleanings and check-ups at 3:30pm.  Doug was the only one that has to go back for dental work.  He has two filling that have chipped and need replaced.  The rest of us don't have to go back until August.

~Tonight was the Harvester's Meeting.  The Harvester's is the ladies group at our Church.  We meet on the second Tuesday of each month for a meal and a meeting.  The food is always wonderful and I am so full!

~I'm behind on my RTW Word reading.  I should take some time before bed to catch up.  I think I will do that.

~I have to fast tonight and in the morning.  Tomorrow I get my annual bloodwork and mammogram done.  My mammogram is scheduled for 9am.  I think I'll get the girls to school and go straight to the Diagnostic Center for my bloodwork before the mammogram.  I don't mind getting either one done.  I just hate waiting for results.  Even though I have no reason to really worry, I still do until I get the "OK".

~Doug and Kaylee are binge watching the show "Jericho".  I'm catching bits and pieces while I'm on the computer.  I might have to start at the beginning and catch up to them.  Right now I'm still trying to catch up on NCIS before starting to watch the new episodes.  I miss Tony and Ziva, but I am enjoying Quinn and Torres.

For now,

Colletta
