Gray Hair

Some times I think, wow, I can't believe I'm actually 50 something! I really don't feel that old! Well not all the time anyway! I look in the mirror sometimes and am really shocked to see the person looking back at me! Who is that???? Of course getting older means wrinkles, gray hair, sagging "stuff", I mean really... what else is going to start sagging??? No don't answer that ... I think I'd rather wait and see. I like surprises. 


Yeah I have gray hair....I'm not afraid to say it! I color my hair! No, it's not naturally blonde, red, brown, dark brown, and let's not forget...brown with blonde highlights. I've been coloring my hair since I was 25, that's when I started turning gray.  And it's difficult to keep up with coloring the "new growth".  I used to call it "roots" instead of "new growth" but I got fussed at by my ex-hair dresser for saying "I need my roots touched up". She said, "well I can't get to your roots, they're under your scalp"! And yes folks....she was serious! I wanted to smack her!


Coloring my hair is easy. Now I am considering getting an eye lift. I've actually looked into this. It's pretty expensive but it seems like a fairly simple procedure. But I'm afraid I won't stop with my eyes...because they're not the only things sagging!


And don't get me started on facial hair! Please! It takes me longer to get rid of my own unwanted hair than it does to groom most dogs!

My first blog entry

My very first BLOG, yes, I'm nervous...that's kind of an understatement. I don't know how to write and I'm sure no one cares what I have to say. So why am I doing this??? I need to empty out my brain! I am looking for an outlet to de-stress, to let go, to vent.  I think this is a perfect way to express myself, my thoughts, my worries, my obsessions! 


Don't worry I have no delusions that anyone on earth might find this the least bit interesting or amusing or informational.  If by chance someone might want to read it, I hope they enjoy!


I have recently began cooking a LOT. Pinterest is a great avenue for recipes and since I am addicted to Pinning....I have found some great recipes to try out. My poor sweet husband is very happy to eat all these wonderfully delicious dishes...of course some of them are not so delicious! 


The one I fixed tonight was a dish I saw on Paula Deans TV show. The dish is called Grouper Fromage. So as you might have guessed there is a lot of cheese in this particular dish! It's good, not great but good! He hasn't tried it yet....I'll let you know what he thinks.


I really don't understand this recent obsession I've developed for cooking.  I've gone for years without cooking meals. My husband was just beginning to realize he may never eat a home cooked meal again (except from his mother)  of course I made salads or scrambled eggs, but never really had much time or desire to experiment with so many different types of dishes as I do now.


Well my husband just got home from work and is eating the fish...."it's different ain't it?" Ok well I guess I won't be making that one again!
