If I Lived Here...
...I'd shave my head every summer.
And buy warm, wooly hats for the winter.
We're in the Boston area. Land of humidity and hair that curls and clings.
Tomorrow we go to Maine for yet ANOTHER family celebration - my mother-in-law's 70th birthday (Happy Birthday, Helen!). I've never been to Maine before. It sounds very beautiful and romantical.
Maine has over 60 lighthouses along its coast and we'll be staying two nights in a faux lighthouse - photos to come soon.
Meanwhile, here's me and my MIL on Duxbury Beach (MA) this morning:

It's Party Time!
Reason #1: I graduated from physical therapy today! I have done TWENTY-SIX WEEKS of P.T. over the last 14 months! That place became my second home. For awhile there, I thought I'd miss it so much that it would be hard to leave. But I am done. Over it. Adios. It's been nice. Just got to keep eating my spinach and pumping the weights so that I can play with the big boys again.
Reason #2: Saturday is party day. We're leaving for hot, humid, Kansas tomorrow - going to my aunt and uncle's SIXTIETH wedding anniversary. Barring any strange discoveries in anti-aging, I won't live long enough to see a sixtieth anniversary, considering I got married for the second time when I was almost 41, so I think this is a big deal.
Reason #3: Nick of Nick's Bytes fame will be having a big old party at his place in celebration of his 1,000th post. If you don't visit Nick once in awhile, I swear, you're in the minority because I think that he knows almost everyone that has ever touched a computer.

Reason #4: I'm here. You're here. It's amazing. How did we get here? Thank you for sharing a moment with me in this strange, beautiful world!

Cleans Up Fairly Well...
(Notice the position of my left arm - I couldn't have done that a few weeks ago! Today's the 8th week since my surgery and I'm getting better!)
This weekend, we'll be in San Fransisco for the 50th wedding anniversary celebration of an aunt and uncle. Said aunt and uncle are holding their party at a YACHT CLUB. Wow! I'm more of a canoe or kayak type. I don't really know what people do at yacht clubs besides celebrate their 50th anniversaries.
So, I had to find myself some spiffy clothes for the occasion and since I believe in recycling (and also because I'm cheap), I hit the thrift stores and found this dress and these shoes.
I remain a Woman in Black...
Total for Dress and Shoes: $8.50
Personal Satisfaction: Priceless
I don't like having my photo taken, but after I've added some jewelry and brushed my hair, maybe I'll get someone else to take my photo. For now, the color-coordinated camera in front of the face adds a nice touch, don't you think?
