MEANDERINGS of Margie

Today was a "banner" day. A 1st time experience. THANK YOU, Stacey,Marc n Grands, for my Gift Card to get a Mani-Pedi !! Yep. I  DID it! Arrived 'bout 9:30am. Lady said take the 2nd chair ~~ I looked, how the heck ya gonna sit in that, I wondered !! Simple ~ RAISE the dang arm.....LOL I must admit, I was a bit "apprehensive" w/this "new" adventure.  I began watching other clients....hmmmm, I got this. So it began....the "washing"....then the "prep"...  ..got a pair of slinky flipflops! complete w/paper towel rolls between the toes! Wowsie! My toes ain't nevah looked that good before! NOTE: The whole time this is happening to the feet n toes, I'm getting a back MASSAGE in that freakin chair! It felt wonnnnderful! Then the nails got their "treatment". Most unusual was the hand thang ~~lotion, stuffed into a clear storage baggie, then into a heated "glove" thingy. (was really hot ...

Hit it @ Bed Bath & Beyond yesterday. Picked up a  PURPLE, soft, Turkish towel. It is really nice, ofcourse, was $ more than I usually spend! Ha...I'm worth it, I figured! Now ~~ it  IS  "all that"  I wanted. Until ~~ I read the care label (who would do that w/a towel??? in the store) Read it and weep people  ~~ All was pretty cool ~~ until, that LAST  4 words!! Now. WTH?  Who gonna be "warm iron" on a towel?????? GEEZ!! I do own an iron, small board and even spray starch ~~but I can't tell you when I have actually pulled that mess out of it's "storage" area !!!! and it saw the light of day! I know I'm ooooolder now, but WHO would bother to read care labels on a bath towel/sheet? It WILL be used, but I can  guarantee there WON'T be NO ironing that sucker!! Oh..P.S. I saw it advertised as Turkish Towel ~~figured, ummm, turkish bath houses! They should KNOW how to do towels!!

Lamar bought a GMC, long-bed truck in 1973. That truck became "infamous"  in this family. *big engine & f a s t!!* Lamar & I were dating ~~ on one of those, we were driving thru Montezuma ~~the GMC just quit on him! That truck did NOT like me. (she was jealous of another female!) LOL We married in 1981. When Marc was about 12yrs. old ~ he decided to begin "borrowing" the GMC and taking joyrides. Not to be caught ~he would place two #7 car polish cans exactly where the tires should be, when he "returned" the GMC!! This went on, for who knows how long, before it happened!! Lamar caught him one afternoon coming back from one of his "visits" to his BF!!! As a result, Lamar began taking EVERY vehicle key he owned w/him to work every day!!! Even more ~~on one of Marc's "drives",~making a "hasty" retreat from the yard!, he hit a water pipe and bent the rocker panel on the GMC!! Since childhood, Marc has always "...

Before I got sick, I was beginning to "work" in my lil "garden"/bird sanctuary. My goal was to condense and show more COLOR out there. I added a few new pieces I had purchased to the mix! The last few days, I began to finish this project. I have added some color and changed venues of items. I'm happy w/the end product. All the things I used have been washed, cleaned, and some repainted to freshen up. It was a bit o' work.....  Painted baker's rack ~PURPLE; added 2 purple flowers @ bottom.. Moved small water bowl out front ~ w/butterfly and lil girl..  2 new "entrance" pieces for color...  Painted welcome sign Copper~~birds yellow n red..~~returned flower @ front ..  group of yellows ... "NEW"  area w/majority of items in 1 place.... Redo of area near steps ~~Hunter/Kammie helped w/the rock placements.! PAINTED  fence yellow(was blk); Stone painted angels (to rid of mossy/green patina!); painted gnome... ...
