There are just some things that a girl needs to do to pamper herself

I have been very remiss about doing things for myself lately so I have decided that tomorrow is THE day.

I am considering a change in hairstyle.

I have several in mind but can't seem to come to a decision but since it has been a while since I've had a haircut, anything I choose should be an improvement

If you promise not to keel over with laughter or choke on any liquid that you may be drinking, I will show you why

it's a MUST that I get this done tomorrow



Before I start out on my adventure, I need to bundle up against the cold



My first stop of the day will be at the spa for a nice facial to help my skin keeps its youthful appearance



After the spa, I will stop by for a visit with my girls at the Clip and Curl



Hopefully they will be able to help me come to a decision on a new hairstyle


I'm kind of partial to the braids

/
The perm look is a little too 80's for me


This has that windblown, sort of sexy look about it

Maybe with the new cut, I'll even get up the nerve for a new color



When I get done with my hair, I will flop my booty in the chair to get a well deserved pedicure

Once I walk out of the Clip and Curl, I will be able to hold my head high and be proud of the new me



With the new me, I will stop off for that new show in town



After that enjoyable show, I will stop off at the Thirsty Camel and have a drink or two with my friends, Jake and Henry



After a few laughs with my buds, I'll ease on back home with a huge grin on my face because I will be soo happy with the new look



Later, at home, I will be so overjoyed with the transformation, I will have to share the news with all my friends



I'll be exhausted from the long day and hit the sack early for some much needed rest



Next week.....

I'm thinking about a little nip and tuck procedure

/n

I’m not a big fan of cold weather or anything to do with wintertime, although, I do like to see snow about once a year.

So far, I haven’t been lucky enough to see any snow. Correction, we had a few snow flurries earlier this morning.

Once we get my requested amount of snow, I’ll be ready for winter to be over and will wishing for warmer weather.

 

Wishing for warm weather got me to thinking about the river. It’s one my favorite places to go for solitude. It’s where I like to go when my mind is so full of shit that I can’t think straight or when my emotions are running amok.

 

There’s a bridge that crosses the river where I go. I have to park on the side of the road and get out and either walk out onto the bridge to see the river or go down one of many narrow paths that lead directly to the river.

The bridge is probably not the safest place to be since the cars that cross over try to see how fast they can go sometimes. Although, I have many times sat on the concrete sides of the bridge watching the river instead of opting to venture down onto the banks.

To get to the river itself, I must walk down a worn, narrow path that is just wide enough for a person to walk through. With the trees, bushes and weeds grown up and hanging over the path, it is necessary to turn sideways at certain points so I don’t get smacked with limbs. The path then takes a turn to the left and within about 3 feet it opens into a small circular spot of dirt, that is only big enough for about 3 or 4 people, then it makes its way around an old tree that hangs precariously out over the water. The trunk of the tree is covered in sumac and some other wild vines that snake their way up over the branches to dangle freely. Beside the tree, to the left, are some of the bigger roots of the tree. They edge along the ground and have made a seat for myself many times. To the right of the tree, the bank has been eroded more so here so there is not much growth of plants. The bank here rises 6 feet or more above the water.

 

(This is the same river I go to but a different place in the county.  Where I go looks very similar to this)

Once I reach this destination, the world of the river surrounds me. The bridge that crosses the river is to the left of this spot and visible. With the water cascading over rocks that are just under the bridge, the bugs making their voices heard and the trees and bushes rustling their leaves in the wind, the noise from the bridge is almost nonexistent.

It takes me to a different place. It takes my worries and washes them downstream to another bend in the river. Waiting for me to come collect them when I am ready.

I often notice the differences on the river with each visit. There seems to always be some type of change. Whether it’s the banks that have a slightly different shape, or maybe the water is muddier than usual, the water level might be lower or higher, there might even be a fallen tree floating downstream that could no longer keep it’s grip on the bank.

 

(Same with this picture.  Same river, different area)

These are only some of the changes. I don’t notice all changes, I can’t. Some I can’t see. They may take place far beneath the water where no one can bear witness. But they are still there.

The changes I see in the river remind me of changes that have taken place or changes that I want or need to make within myself. It brings things into perspective for me sometimes. Then sometimes I just want to go watch it do it’s thing and not take anything away from it or leave anything there. I just want to enjoy it.

 

WATER--It is associated with the qualities of emotion and intuition.

 (Maybe this is why I'm so drawn to the water???)

Who knew your underwear could be so revealing--about your personality, that is!

Handbag.com, TheSite.org, and the Arizona State University Web Devil have it all figured out.

Remember, your underwear doesn't dictate who you are, but instead expresses your personality!

WOMEN

High-cut briefs: Ladies who wear "granny panties" tend to be perfectionists, except when it comes to style. They care most about comfort and function. They are practical people who don't dress to impress. (Guess what? Almost all women have a pair or two.)

Boy shorts or thong: Women who don these are confident go-getters who enjoy a challenge. They like to show off their curves, are outgoing, and open to new things. They also enjoy not having a panty line when they wear pants. They like the thong because it makes them feel sexy even when they wear jeans, while boy shorts are cute and feminine--without baring it all.

The need to match: Some women must have a matching bra and panty set. These confident women are quite fashion-conscious and enjoy pampering themselves. Some might even call them spoiled or high-maintenance.

 

MEN

Boxers: Wearing boxers is all about comfort, but men who prefer boxers are generally laidback, not too flashy, and light-hearted. Boxers are the No. 1 choice in underwear for men.

Briefs: Nicknamed tightie-whities even if they are red or blue or some other color, briefs are worn by men who are inhibited and like the restricted feel of this kind of underwear. Hey guys, it's not uncommon for women to think of you as their little brother when they find out you wear briefs.

Boxer-briefs: Can you say the best of both worlds? Men who opt for boxer-briefs are very good at committing in relationships. Hey, they already know how to compromise since they've done it with their underwear!

Thong: Men who wear thongs are tremendously outgoing and some are exhibitionists. Check a male thong-wearer's high school yearbook, and you'll no doubt find "Class Clown" under his name.

No underwear: Either someone forgot to do the laundry or he is very down-to-earth and embraces a natural way of life.

 

I will go on the record as saying, " I do NOT own ANY granny panties!"  That is one style I absolutely cannot abide.  Can you say claustrophobia of the ass?

I'm more of of a boy short / thong / bare woman.  and I don't feel the NEED to match my panties and bra but do so at times.  I am more likely to match when I am braless and pantiless.
