all I want for Christmas is my eyebrow!

Our neighbors are having their annual Christmas open house later today for friends and family. We are invited and since they live in the condo across from us it does not seem too far to travel. We really have been blessed in finding a place with such great neighbors. Anyhow, I started getting ready last night...pick clothes out ( gee, what looks festive with black sneakers and afo? ) checked out my holiday reindeer head gear that lights up and plays music and waxed my brows. I am still not sure what, or how I did this, but I now have only 1.5 eyebrows! I guess I over estimated waxing area and once applied you must follow through. If I was in my twenties, this would be soooo tragic that I would not go to the party........today, however, I am wondering if my reindeer antlers combined with a Rudolph nose would cause folks to overlook my beauty error. Nah, I guess i will just resort to the brow pencil and smile a lot!

 

We lost power with our snow storm Friday and I missed out on the cyber Christmas party. Bummer! I hope everyone had a good time. We all went to bed early and read by book lights.....we really only got about 10 inches but it was beautiful in the morning. The birds were all over the feeders. I was standing by the window watching them feed when a red tail hawk swooped into the yard - his wing actually hit our bedroom window. In one second the yard was clear of all wildlife! I watched the hawk where he perched in a oak tree for a bit and then flew off.

 

 

I made my rum cake last night to take to the party today.....smells so good! My hubby keeps circling the counter where I am going through my glazing process......I told him my eyesight may not be what it was, but I will know if he makes a move on my baking masterpiece!

 

 

I have come to believe that having a stroke makes us more sensitive and emotional. There are times when I simply feel overwhelmed by life and find myself crying for no apparent reason. I know if I get over tired I am more likely to spiral downward.......I guess at times we just have to work at being positive and happy...sorta the old fake it till you make it thing.

 

 

 

I probably won't blog till after christmas and so I wish you all a good holiday filled with joy and peace! cheers! kathy

Hi Kathy, Mrs Santa, and now Rudolph :D

 

You are a diverse lady. I'm glad you have terrific neighbors and will still attend the party even after the waxing boo-boo. I'm sure you will look beautiful - just be careful walking.

 

You were definitely missed at the party. Santa even made an appearance and was looking for you. I think he wanted to sample the rum cake you were bringing lol. I don't blame you for WARNING Barry about the rum cake - naughty boy - Santa will place him on the naughty list if he pilfers any of the cake before the party.

 

Yes, stroke does make us more sensitive and emotional dear. I'm close to the 4 year mark, and even with meds, I still have issues though not as bad as before the meds. I too will many times don the "mask" that all is ok when I'm crumbling inside. For me though, my daughter can see through the mask as my eyes are a giveaway and she will prod until the mask cracks and the emotions flow.

 

Merry Christmas dear to you and yours. Hope no power failures keep you away from the New Year's Eve Marathon chat bash we will have going on. You'll definitely have a White Christmas - not sure if we will or not though it is predicted.

You are a "grande dame" Merry Xmas to you and yours. Hope to see you NewYear's eve in chat as I plan to be there, god willing.TaTa for now,

SOME PEOPLE NEVER DO LEARN DO THEY?

Didn't we learn not to attempt these things at home after our botched hair cut.IN FACT I will have to go back and look I'm pretty sure i said to you at that point don't try to wax anything. One hand - wax what's wrong with that equation babe? You're lucky you didn't rip your eyelid off.I hafta tell ya though, you must have been quite the kick. Few egg nogs in ya, eyebrow pencil smeared up your forehead. Nuthin the lampshade didn't cover I'm sure. ~~S'Why I love ya so Lucy ~ next to you I'm wrapped pretty tight.

OMG HERE IT IS I had to come back to give the cut and paste of my exact words from when you cut your own hair.

I also want to thank you for making me laugh so hard I have coffee coming out of my nose. You can thank me for that mental image.

 

 

However desperate you get do not attempt to wax your own eyebrows with one hand it's not a good idea with 2 with 1-there's a good chance you'll never see again
