The Story of Lori

[davina61]

My latest hair has more light streaks in it but its brown, now my past life "memory" had me as a tall thin red head in a Celtic village .
 Less is more dear on the makeup, more natural is the way to go looking like you have non on when you just spent 1/2 hour doing it!!!!

I need coffee...

[Lori Dee]

Grocery shopping at Wally World this morning. Ugh.
Local struggles.
Payday. End of the month. Holiday weekend. Labor Day, so all the terrorists tourists are restocking their RVs for the trip home.

Fortunately, I have donuts AND a therapist. I can survive anything.

Dear Lori:
Good luck shopping at WalMart on this holiday weekend... I would imagine that the store
will be very, very busy.

As you stated: You have donuts AND a therapist. You can survive anything.

  I agree with that but I would add copious amounts of chocolate...

Are you "entertaining" at home and doing a cookout for the holiday??? ... or
are you going somewhere with others?

HUGS, Danielle

[Lori Dee]

Chocolate is definitely on the menu. My birthday is on the 3rd, so I bought a triple chocolate cake.
It turns out, it doesn't have to be your birthday. You can buy a birthday cake and eat it at any time. No one checks!

My best friend, her son, and sister are taking me to lunch for my birthday. After that, I think I have a date with Jose Cuervo. We will see how it goes. There could be a plethora of drunken debauchery.

But I won't get my hopes up.

Oops, sorry. The way the light was shining on your hair, I was thinking red. Or maybe I'm just remembering seeing you in a past life.

The VA has confirmed my physical therapy appointment for the 3rd.

The results from my hip X-rays show there are no fractures.   
Wouldn't I know if I had a fractured hip?

The joints appear to be normal... appear to be?
Let's not get too definitive in that diagnosis, Doc. It's just an X-ray, so we can ballpark it.

Let the physical therapist twist her legs around and if she screams a lot, then maybe we could order an MRI. Or not.

It's official, it is September 1st and I am now a redhead. It is a bit darker than I wanted but the gray is gone. It will look nice tucked up under my wig.

Mine is pretty close to that now. Just a little lighter. I will wait a bit then maybe add some highlights to lighten it. I love red hair, but not firetruck red!

It was very rare for me to put a color through, once three shades.  However, these days I have to contend with the greys, maybe its time to up my game on dyeing my hair!!  Pretty much the same color.  Me being conservative.

If only I was younger.

Happy coloring and dyeing

The gray was my priority. My hair had grown out enough that 2/3 was gray with just blonde ends. Since my new wig (profile pic) is reddish, I wanted to try to match the color. Of two options, one too light and the other too dark. I went with darker to cover the gray. Now, maybe I'll just shave my head and start over.  Umm, nope. Not happening.

I will get in early, do I have to make cake? Have a good one dear XX

[Lori Dee]

Thank you!

Yes, tomorrow I turn 67.

I realized that for my entire life, from birth until now, I was a younger person.
Since is my first time turning 67, I don't know what to expect.

Let the journey begin!

Dear Lori:
I am aware that you wanted a chocolate cake for your birthday tomorrow on September 3rd....

The nice thing about this one is that it will never go bad. And it has SPRINKLES!

Thanks, Danielle!

Hay I am 69 and still think I am 20 (till the body gives up!)

I refused to stop aging at 25.
Sadly, my body did not get the memo.

Groucho Marx is credited with saying "A man is only as old as the woman he feels".

Assuming that applies to all points of the gender spectrum, several of my favorite 'parts' are only 4 - 5 years old.

Love always -- Jess
