It Was Red Wine Tuesday


For no particular reason. I have these great stemless glasses and I had an open bottle of the 'house red'. Why not?

Anyway, that was yesterday. Today I got up and went to my appointment. Afterward I had a coffee while I waited for my pal's next appointment. It's so nerve-wracking to go to any doctors anymore. There's a list of 'what ifs' that never existed before. It's scary and it sucks. It's that simple.

I'm hoping to hear that all is well. And I have to make my own appointments for an annual exam - in the midst of all this I do have to keep up with regular maintenance.

Have you read 'Eat, Pray, Love'? The author was on Oprah recently and one thing that she said was to adjust your mantra. That voice in your head that says whatever it says. People have spoken to this before - if you have a negative internal dialogs, than you will have negativity and a positive voice breeds more positivity. I'm working on coaching myself into a positive voice. I've had it, and sometimes I slip back to using those not-so-kind words with myself. I'm just trying to be conscious of how I treat myself. I think it'll lead me to being happier and treating others better. You know, if you can't love yourself, who can you love? and who can love you?

Now - no need to tell me you love me, I know. ; )

You know...electricity was discovered, and we have no problem using IT every day without explination or excuse.

Therefore I propose that we apply the same healthy attitude toward the discovery of alcohol. It doesn't need its use to be explained.

Hey - if you turned on a light today, why not pour a drink? I say fair is fair.

Love your imbibing (and possibly enabling) friend, MEO :)

You know...I really like your hair short. I know that you miss your long hair but you look really cute! Your face looks brighter and more open. You can really see your eyes. I like the short hair! I know it probably feels different but it looks great.

Thanks for the short hair compliments. It's sort of at this stage where some people look and see an artsy short haircut. Others look at me like "Your hair's too short. It makes you look like a cancer patient." If they only knew. ; )

A little more and I can justify using some hair products... I already use them, they just aren't trult necessary yet.
