One size fits all......apparently not!

Ok ladies, i need to get this off my chest, so to speak. 

I'm the type who likes to keep "like" items together.  Tops in one drawer, pj's in another, you get the idea. Well,  I have this nice dresser that has a lingerie drawer.  You know its the top drawer,  very convenient to keep those "items" we wear everyday.  I wear fiber lined bras so my nips don't show, you get me.  The cup is very perky even when empty, due to this I can't closed the drawer.  Apparently, my dresser is made for C cup or smaller. 

Just a tip if your in the market for a new dresser.  One size does not fit all.  In the meantime I have to mix my undies with outside clothes. :(

"shell of a woman"

So my husbans says to me the other day, "you're a shell of the woman you used to be".  I was shocked! Not at his comment, but how spot on he was.  I've been leaking, not in the Depends kinda way,  but in a way that  I can feel the hormones leaving my body, the essence that use to drive me.

Gone is the metabolism
Eyesight...Hearing
Passion -  I can't get too worked up about anything.  Life is short
ambition - I look back at the positions I've had and I think who was that person

The metamorphiose has turned me into a  person that is very grounded.  Gravity.  I go to bed with the chickens (as my mother says) and get up before dawn. I wouldn't know what to do with an evening out and this is from a person who quite often went to bed very late.

Don't get me wrong, I love this new chapter and look forward to how it will deveolp. I use my energy now for myself, family and friends. I enjoy every single day.

Its just different and it seems  not much is said about entering into a senior.  Which I guess is the term, I'm certainly not middle age.

Moral of this story, I don't have one, expect to say.  Life is alway changing enjoy it all.  

I almost forgot, went to the doctors the other day for my yearly woman's exam, and was told I really don't need these yearly anymore.  Every 3 or 4 years will do.  Medical prove that I am turning into a  Garden Nome, friendly soul with no real purpose. Ha

stay curious my friend

Curiosity is a wonderful thing.  It can be a driving force to propel us into action.  The desire to learn something new is what keeps our brain active and our minds alert. 

Theses days my curiosity is focused on cooking, gardening and sewing.  The thought of trying a new recipe is so exciting, planting something new to see how it grows and the act of creating something from fabric is so much fun.

Its interesting how my brain refuses to give an good energy into a job search, its like done, done, done with that!  Ha!

I'm taking a computer class in the evening and just loving new things.

Yet, I notice on all these activities my interest is in the "how" not so much about the end result.  Its like the right side of my brain has checked out and I'm just in lala land. 

Anyway...........

"Green" with envy

I just spend the weekend with one of my girlfriends and were my eyes ever opened.

She didn't use paper towels, zip lock bags, plastic drinking bottles among other green alternatives.

I guess since I recycled some of these products I was "doing" my part.  When in reality I should not even generate this waste.

I outta admit, its easy to grab that zip lock bag, those paper towels, drinking out of a plastic so now I just feel guilty.

I am trying to make a conscience effort to use the alternative to those products in hope that will be become a habit. 

I on purpose ran out of paper towels and I kinda say its a pain in the waste hahaha not using them.

Its really just a mind set.  So before you go for the plastic think if there's another greener way.

I wonder if the guy who invented plastic could see the wide effect of this product.  Proably not. 

Remember it just takes one person to make a difference.

Fake Fake Fake

Tif-phonie, Kalin Kline, knock offs.............I don't get it.

I was at a party the other evening and a gal proudly showed me her "fake" coach watch, only $35!

Then I got to thinking, what is the appeal of the "fake" product.  Are you actually buying the same quality, craftmenship, and design of the designer brand ?  In that case I would say thumbs up. Or is it a "cheap" poor quality piece of crap that just looks like the "real" thing so you can impress strangers of your wealth.

I'm not saying that spending a lot of money and in some cases it can be a lot of money on designer brands is the way to go.  But you are buying something of value, just don't pay full price.   The piece will be timeless, unlike the fake that will undoubtly be toss in 6 months time by saying it was cheap.

To be there's no value in the money that was spent if you turn around and dismis it after you get bored. 

There's a saying : if you buy quality you'll never regret the money spent,  if you buy poor quality you are constantly reminded of the waste of money spent.  Or something like that.
