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....
