New hair

My new summer 'do is brought to you by the following sponsors:

*relentless heat + its best friend stifling humidity

*my hair

(it has a natural inclination to "curl" when allowed)

*left shoulder

(which doesn't allow freedom of movement

to blow dry or flat iron hair straight)

Pretty!!!!

It's really not.

Prepare yourselves.

I told you!!!!

At the top of my arm you can see a two of the three places where I had stitches. Got them out Friday.

Now for the bruises to go away...... :(

p.s. the nightgown I'm wearing in the picture has pigs flying. Seriously. Pigs with wings flying amongst lots of puffy white clouds. I love Nick and Nora sleepwear AND Target for selling it!

....and in other news.....

My Georgia Power bill arrived today.

It was more than DOUBLE what it was last month.

*sigh*

I've recently hung thick drapes on all the upstairs windows,

a thick roman shade on the french door leading out to the deck

and had a 52 inch ceiling fan installed

to replace the teensy one that was here when I moved in.

Hopefully all this will help.

p.s. I get my stitches out tomorrow!!!!!!

Bring back the shoulder pad

Yep!

Gonna bring it back all by myself!

I sported that bad-boy until Saturday, so I guess it could have been worse.

Now I'm just in a sling.

The stitches come out Friday.

Holla!

The surgery ended up being minimal, thank goodness!

They removed a lot of scar tissue and the bone spur.

Lots of fluid too.

Once I got back to Devon's house

I had an AWFUL reaction to the anesthesia and would have happily died

to be put out of my misery.

I felt WORLDS better once I threw up.

So there ya go! LOL

Thanks so much for all the well wishes!!!

Hey Babies!

Tomorrow is the big day.

I'm having surgery on my left shoulder.

It may also involve my left heybaby.

I'll be back to let y'all know.

Happy Birthday USA!!!!

So much going on.....

Just for fun here is a picture

of my new media console

purchased yesterday at Ballard's Backroom

for the low, low "doorbuster" price of

$99.00!!!

Yeah, baby!

Original price: $238.99

*insert happy dance here*

so....

yeah.

Life has been crazy....just like everyone's, I'm sure.

I wrecked my car June 10th.

Long story short: everyone is fine.

By "everyone" I mean the two other cars I hit

Actually, I only hit (rear ended) one, but that caused him to hit the guy

in front of him.

Of course I hit a Mercedes and it hit an Acura.

*sigh*

My car suffered the most damage because, let me tell ya:

hitting a '99 Mercedes sedan is like hitting a boulder.

Or a tank.

I have pictures.

I'll post them sometime.

It took two weeks to repair my car. I drove a rental in the mean time.

Devon said it looked like a roller skate. haha!

I was just glad to have something to drive that had good a/c.

'Cuz can we talk about how freakin' HOT it's been?!?!?

Good LORD!

I've been back and forth to the doctors a lot.

I hurt my foot (just a little) in the wreck, and then there's the shoulder/arm thing.

I'm having surgery next Wednesday.

I've also been working quite a bit.

One of my families is on va-kay for three weeks.

I was supposed to go to Boston with them, but decided not to.

I needed a break AND to get this shoulder fixed.

You KNOW it's bad when a Southern gal can't put her hand on her hip.

Yep! THAT'S how "frozen" my shoulder is.

I could go on and on, but old people and their ailments are kinda boring.

Hope everyone is keeping cool!!!
