Falling and Life

So Tuesday night I fell, yes, just fell, right before falling asleep the thought that I forgot to close the garage door jumped into my head. I get out of bed and start walking down the hall to go towards the garage. My right foot somehow gets tangled in my left pajama leg opening and down I go.

My house is all tile, I fell hard, I was there on the floor, thinking, this is it, this is how I die. Fat Catstard sidled up to me and looked me in the eye. He was trying to ascertain if it was time to eat my face or if I would live.

That was all it took, I jumped up, and said not today Fatty Catty, not today.

The garage door was shut by the way, I could have just stayed in bed and fallen into a blissful sleep. Now I check it before I even head to the bedroom.

I got my hair done yesterday evening and it was glorious, getting out and talking to my stylist is the best. She is so funny, she is currently getting ready to move into her first apartment.

I love hearing the excitement she exudes, it reminds me of my first time moving into an apartment. Getting out on my own and getting ready to conquer the world.

My mom used to tell me she loved being around young people, I never got it, until I got to a certain age.

Now I get it, I love being around my children, their spouses, boyfriend, grandchildren and other young people. The energy and exuberance and joy they exude is contagious and a wonderful thing to be around.

I love it, I also love following younger people on instagram and twitter, early 20’s to thirties, young people just starting out or young moms raising their children.

Seeing all of the innovations and seeing them go through things and how they handle it, opposed to when I was going through some of the same things and how I handled it. I just love seeing it, also all of the new things for babies! I don’t even know how my children survived or myself!

Do you do that? If you are of a certain age do you love seeing young people find their way? I get what my mom was saying now, it gives me hope for the future, seeing these young adults.

I hope you all have a good day, it is dentist day and other things for me.

As usual any comments, questions or criticisms can be left here or sent to me at angie@angieworld.com.

Costco Run and Dean Cain

So yesterday I left my house, I went to Costco and then to get my hair done and then Target.

At Costco I was walking in at the same time another woman was, she and I looked at each other in horror. It was way crowded for a work day. She said I have five daughters at home, we need toilet paper. I said good luck, I said I’m here for my normal Costco run. Thank goodness I don’t need toilet paper, I did look, because Elizabeth Anne does need toilet paper. There was none, the employee I spoke with said that people were there when it opened and made a run for the paper goods. Ridiculous.

No one is admitting to hoarding the TP. I really want to know who is doing this.

No one symptom is diarrhea, so what are you people doing with all of that toilet paper? My guess is selling it for an exorbitant price, beyond ridiculous.

When I was getting my hair done, of course I was talking to my stylist, she said they told the aestheticians to go home for two weeks. Because they actually touch peoples faces, she didn’t know if they were being paid. The hair stylists were holding their breath hoping they don’t get sent home.

She agreed it was the stupidest thing ever, all of this panic, where was this panic for the avian flu? That killed way more people, or the swine flu, or ebola, which was way more deadly. I didn’t see a run on things then.

When I went to Target I noticed canned goods disappearing along with the paper goods. I did a little research and looked in the baby aisle, people are starting to take the baby wipes.

If you do not have a baby or toddler, please leave these items alone. There are parents that actually need these items.

While I was there I called my daughter-in-law that lives close to me, with my son, of course. And asked if they needed anything, she happened to be at Wal-Mart and they didn’t have any chicken, they did at Target. So I picked up chicken breasts for them, I have never seen anything like this.

All of you out there that are doing this, you are the problem. You are not getting what you need, you are hoarding, and when this blows over in a few weeks, you will have food that will go bad. So it is wasteful, and shame on you, people are now having to buy toilet paper out of the trunk of a car.

I just got my normal two week supply of food, that is all I need, that is all anyone needs.

So now, because of all of this madness, that the mass media is partially responsible for, there are real shortages. There is real price gouging, there is real need for real families. Shame on all of you doing this, especially with the goods that we all need, no one needs 5 cases of toilet paper.

On another note, Dallas Fan Expo has been postponed until June, the weekend I will be out of town for a wedding. This was not a hard choice to make, the wedding takes precedence. Yes, even over Dean Cain, there is nowhere I would rather be that weekend. Celebrating the joining of two special people and celebrating with their families.

It looks like no Dean for me in 2020, oh well, there is always 2021. I hope you all have a wonderful rest of your weekend and have enough toilet paper to last you the next two weeks at least.

Confessions of a Non-romantic

I have never been an overly mushy person, you know the type I mean. With the advent of social media we can clearly see who these people are. I am continually shocked that people put every aspect of their life on the Internet.
Their romantic life, I have always been a private person by nature. I keep things close to the vest as it were. You can talk to me for an hour, walk away and realize I never told you one personal thing about myself.
I have never been one to NEED another person in my life, I would be perfectly content to be alone. I know what you are thinking, it’s easy to say things like that when you have someone. Well, you, who say that, don’t know me. Several of you that do know me can verify the truth of that statement. If the Irishman dumped me today I would be sad but not devastated, I would miss him for a while but never chase after him.
Some mistake that for coldness, however, I call it self reliant. I don’t depend on anyone but me for my happiness in life. I am not a big believer in happiness anyway, I hang my hat on joy instead, my soul has great joy.
On to a different topic, I hate this time of year for many reasons, but today, I hate it for my bad hair. My hair is so curly in the humidity, why didn’t God give me good hair. Elizabeth Anne has great hair, so I guess as long as my daughter looks good that’s all that counts. It’s too late for me to achieve prettiness anyway.
Peace out homies!

Hair, Christmas and Stuff

I am trying to decide what to do with my hair; I need to have it done, cut, color the whole nine yards. It has blond in it now, I have officially been every color except black, I have never had black hair. I do believe I am too pale for black hair, I would look like a Goth person, not saying that is a bad thing, it just would make me look, well, silly.
I know what you are thinking, with everything that has happened the past few days how can I sit here and write about inconsequential things. Well, I don’t want to write about my feelings on what has happened it makes me incredibly sad. I have chosen to not partake in the conversation about gun control and who is to blame. I choose instead to write about things that don’t matter in the grand scheme of life.
So back to my hair, when I was a red head I enjoyed it, however I am really pale, my own dark brown suits me, probably because that is what God intended, however, my theory is, if he wanted me to stay that color he would not have created all of these wonderful colors. I really like the blond, I don’t know why but I feel like it suits me, personality wise, I have found that people don’t expect nearly as much from you when you have the blond in your hair. Maybe that is what I need now, low expectations of me; however I can only keep that up for so long. Then the original brown haired girl rears her head, oh maybe a warm caramel color, something in-between. I totally need to think about this, I liked when my hair was purple, but I am a little long in the tooth for that now, perhaps when I am 90, then people will just think I am eccentric and not weird.
I so cannot wait until after Christmas and I can tell you all what I got my children for Christmas, I am so excited. I really hope they love it and will cherish it the way I do, I have been sitting on this since the summer, it’s hard keeping it a secret for so long. I am not good at keeping presents a secret, when I buy it I want to give it!
So Thursday at 9:00 am CST I will be free, I will be running out of this building to finish my shopping, buying the food for our Christmas Eve feast and wrapping presents. Don’t forget Conversations with Shanon J and Angie B, which will be on this week as well. I am getting some great feedback from listeners, remember if you have missed any of our shows you can catch up on http://www.convosate.com and subscribe to our podcast on ITunes. For those last minute gift ideas check out our shop, you can get all kinds of goodies there.

Fantastic Looks Day

Did you ever have one of those days where everything is perfect? Hair, makeup, outfit, you know the jeans that make you look skinnier than you actually are. Well, today is my day, I look pretty freakin’ amazing! I can’t even lie about it, can’t water it down, downplay my looks, so grateful that God made me the way I am. He could have wittled down the thighs a little and the hips, but hey, I’ll take this over something else. Of course I will look much better 42 pounds lighter, I’m working on it.
Just wanted to check in and tell everyone that I am having a fantastic looks day. Hope you are as well!

Another Gateway Day

Ok, so, I am totally in love with my new hairstylist, she just rocks, her name is Beatrice and if you are in the Plano area and looking for someone new, let me know. I will give you her information. She listens to what I want and makes it happen, just incredible, I am in love.
I got my hair done last night that is why I am waxing on today regarding Beatrice’s brilliance. Today is Thursday the gateway to Friday, I know you have all heard me say it before; well it bears saying again, and again and again. How bout them apples? Well I ordered a few Christmas presents before I left for work this morning, no I will not be telling for who, oh alright, 3 guesses. If you get them correct I will answer in the comments section.
I don’t think I have anything exciting to do this upcoming weekend, which will be a nice change, perhaps it is time for a well needed much earned pajama day! Now that would be exciting, watching old episodes of Buffy, Angel, Dollhouse and Firefly, now that is a Saturday in the making. Maybe popcorn is in order and diet coke; stop me now before I just pass out from the thought.
Next week is Thanksgiving, I will be writing a special, what I am grateful for entry for next week, I know you are all looking forward to that. I really have nothing today, except my hair looks amazing!
