A Better Conversation.

Good morning (lol).

The agenda today is a good mix - productive mixed with fun.

Downloading a book for bookclub on Thursday.  I stopped going a couple of years ago - didn't love it, but now that I have the time - why not?!?!  There are a couple of ladies I enjoyed and I wouldn't mind trying to connect with them again (expanding that friend base - saying YES).  The book is a quick one (stories centered on wine).  Shouldn't have a problem finishing.  Best part - author visit.  I really enjoy listening to an author speak about her work.  Fascinating.  So I'm saying YES, making an effort and going.  Yea ME!

Productive stuff ... getting a package ready for mailing (bff b-day next week), paying bills (computer makes it so fast), washing sheets (almost done), return some emails (done).  Dinner is already made for tonight (thanks hubby for grilling chicken yesterday).

Fun stuff.  Nails and eyebrows (hopefully).  I planned to go to my usual place for my manicure and an eyebrow but they had a pipe burst and are closed until repairs are done (bummer for them).  I have a trust issue with eyebrows and fingernails lol ... so dilemma.

I think the collagen is making my eyebrows grow.  I usually get them done with my hair appointment and pluck between.  I can't wait this time - can't keep up with the tweezers!  A friend recommended a threading place for eyebrows - not sure if they are open on Mondays.  If so, I'll give them a try.  I've done threading before and a place that specializes is usually good.

Now nails.  MHP list includes trying the powder polish - no lights, and should last much longer.  Downside is it's more money (but if it lasts, it evens out the price).  I still have money left from a gift certificate - I could use it to try the powder (but a lot of the techs aren't great - and I'm picky).  I could try the less expensive salon near me - don't know how good they are at the powder, but they are good at everything else.  Game day decision.  Maybe I'll call both places and ask a few questions.

A friend from VA just texted me and we're going to catch up via phone in a few minutes.  Then off to workout.  It's going to be a good day (after all) ... probably because I'm making it one!!

Later gators.
