(46) I found that to be fun

I woke up early...

It was a sunny morning, but I could tell it was cold! 

I had gotten up early so that I could be ready for grocery delivery by 8 AM!

The delivery man said that at 4 AM his truck did not need the refrigerator part on

as it was only 35F at the time in there!

Well, if you have known me a long time, 

you would know that I am a bit of a nerd. 

I like to do things right when I am doing them.

So, I had another (my last) makeup lesson.

Yep. And I brought the notes she wrote last time,

a typed up note of what I knew I wanted to buy this time,

and a pen to write more notes and masking tape.

The kind makeup artist/teacher was like 

why did you bring masking tape?

HA! It was because she had different brushes for different things.

I brought my own (newly cleaned) brushes and when

we went from step to step, I quickly tore off a bit of tape,

wrapped it to the brush she said was the right one and numbered it. 

Yep. Nerdy! :)

But hey, makeup for the wedding will be a breeze.

I know exactly what to do and what to use and it's all set.

And I can tell that I was right to return one thing (itch factor) and get

a few other things ... my makeup had been on for hours, no 

dry skin, no itch, no problems. 

So that's a problem solved!

Then I went to JC Penny.

I brought the necklace with.

The picture above was the first things I found.

The reds were too bright 

(as fellow customer who was kind confirmed it when I asked her

opinion on them as well).

I put them all back.

Then I found these 4 and used a necklace display for a quick

social media discussion (and I called my Mom right away as she is my 

number one fashion consultant) and took these pictures:

 The pair I choose, that my Mom and others also liked, and the one

I liked the best, is the last one in the 4 pictures above. 

Then I went on to my eye doctors and got my new glasses.

They are really great, I am quite pleased with them.

And they are the same colour red, I believe. 

So right when I was looking at the earrings and the necklace before buying 

the earrings, I took the necklace out of it's cloth bag and found that it had

broken! I was shocked! But thank God it was not really broken,

a small ring had come loose and so 2 pieces had separated. 

I went to Kay Jewelers and a man fixed the ring for me, free of charge! 

***

At home I found that one of the rings was not closed very well...

at first I thought it was perhaps the one he fixed but later I felt it was

actually another place, and boy was I glad to have caught the second ring

having a problem too!

After dinner, I found my jewelry making kit I bought this summer and 

fixed it! Meanwhile, dinner was leftovers and a salad!

I used my new tray for the first time!

While I could not make the opening look fully closed, 

I am pretty sure the small ring holding the 2 pieces together is 

much more secure.

I wanted to share a sweet email card I got in the first week of Cleo dying.

It made me cry but is so sweet and I really appreciate it.

I will always love my Cleo Cat!

***

One more happy thing:

my Husband bought this grey vest for 3$ at the VNA rummage sale

and not only did it fit great but I think it goes well with this suit jacket!

Obviously he will NOT wear it with a stripped shirt,

that was merely the shirt he was wearing today to work.

I am so pleased as he lost the vest that went with this jacket and pants.

Now we have everything figure out for sartorial consideration and planning

for our friend's wedding! :) 

***

Also I found an inexpensive sparkly deep/dark red nail polish that I may wear for the

wedding... :) I had a lot of fun getting things for this special occasion

and know that all of the things I have found/gotten I will use again, DV.

after the wedding!  I am already thinking of possible future outfits

with the new jewelry and hat... 

***

Well, it was a fun "light" day and sometimes those days are nice to have.

Tomorrow is clean-the-house day and begin preparing for the 

dinner party on Sunday night that we DV (=Lord willing)

hope to have!

***

I pray that God's mercy will be with us 

no matter if our day was an easier one or a deeply

difficult day....
