New Face, Same Heart

Another week come and gone. Still cannot believe how quickly these weeks pass, but that's a good thing. I had a smooth week at work, especially with Monday off. I wore hats all week to cover my very unnatural looking eyebrows, but as you can see in this new photo they are looking mighty nice I must say. All of the scabbing & ink has fallen off (along with a lot of the hairs which will grow back), so this is actually a sneak peak at what they will actually look like -but much fuller. Again, click on the photo for a larger view. I honestly could not be happier with the appearance and shape. Yay for eyebrows!!! :o)

I thoroughly enjoyed the sunshine and great weather this weekend. It has been in the high 60s and 70s the past couple of days. Yesterday, Stacie & I took Arnie to the beach and rented bikes for a few hours. I stuck the pooch in a basket and strolled along the beach, not saying a word, taking in the fresh air, and enjoyed seeing people out in the street/yards/sidewalks doing the same -only playing football, corn hole, reading, baking (obviously themselves), rollerblading, or just sitting on the porch. Yes, in WV we call it a porch. Gosh, the sun sure does make me smile. I had a couple of friends come to town this weekend, so I was able to meet up with them for a few hours yesterday evening. It was great to see familiar faces, reminisce, and talk about old times. There's nothing better than being from a small town; I wouldn't trade it for the world. I love where I'm from, and I love the fact that I love where I'm from. Logan. West Virginia. Home. I spent my entire life trying to get away. Now that I have, I love and appreciate that place more than I could express. Ok, now I'm getting cheesy on you and probably not making a bit of sense to anyone but myself. Sorry. :)

By the way, God is good. Great, actually.

Today was just as nice of a day for me. I spent time with Josh & Laura, my awesome neighbors & friends. We went to Sonic and got slushies & then went for a walk on the beach. It was 75 degrees this afternoon, but the beach was cooler because of the wind. It was, again, relaxing and refreshing. We went to Super Target & did a little shopping afterward. What is nice is having neighbors that I can share stuff with & save money. For instance, Target had a deal on 30 rolls of toilet paper for $16!!! Problem: all 30 rolls are in one package. Solution: they buy the 30 rolls, I give them $8, and we split the deal! I would never buy $16 worth of TP, but $8 for 15 rolls is a hell of a deal, HAH! Anyway, they are great people who make me laugh constantly. Good friends = happy me.

Ok, this is a shorter post, but I plan to write again this week. There's a lot on my mind.
