A Couple More Piccies

 Could these two goons look any more alike?  And PLEASE tell me your dad does not have that sweater any more.  Though knowing him, he does.

Here's a cute picture of Grandpa Tony and Grandma Gay.  These two really loved each other. 

Oh Sad!

I just read that Heidi Klum and Seal are getting divorced.  :-(

Presh!

My new Sorel boots!  I seem to have lost my trusty Uggs so I guess it was time for some new snow boots.  And these were on sale at Nordy's yay!  Until we checked Escape Outdoors in the same mall and they were on sale cheaper.

Hoping good ole Nordy's will match the price.  Even if they don't, I love my plaid boots!

A Little Inspiration

Cara and Tony started Weight Watchers this week, yay!  That will spur us fellow fatties to get back on WW.  Katie found these pix, which we thought would inspire you Virginians to give up the pork rinds and head cheese in favor of Lean Cuisine:

PS, Cara is that Andee Schmick on the right? If so, there was a nice "where are they now?" article with her in this week's Spokesman.

The Hooligans

Jon dropped off RJ, Al and Liam today while he's working on the South Hill.  They came dressed to play outside and brought their XC skis.  So far, they are trying to stay inside.

Not much luck getting these three buffoons to pose nicely for a picture.  We are going to head over to Manito Blvd. with Lulu and the skis.  Should be wild.

Snow!

Our first real snowfall of 2012.  Glad I am inside today!  It's coming down pretty seriously.  Lulu and I shoveled the back sidewalk so I could empty the trash.  She enjoyed the romp.  I did not enjoy the shoveling.  Pretty sure I am going to be found face down in a snowdrift one of these days.  Us olds hate shoveling snow.

Of course, our stupid TV weather people are predicting Snowpocalypse, but I imagine we will survive.

Our Day O Beauty

Yesterday Katie talked me into going to a Health & Beauty Fair at the local CC (my condition for going was that she had to go with me to visit Jon and Mike P.  So we each got our way)

Now, if you know me AT ALL, you know I'm not much for beauty :-)  My Katie, however, is ALL ABOUT the beauty.  And I hate paying $ to get into these sales events, but I went along with it.

We actually had a pretty good time.  She got her eyebrows waxed, I got a paraffin hand treatment, we both got a little massage on our extremely tight necks and shoulders, and we both got "Gelish" manicures.

We got our  manis from two cosmetology students for $12.00.  And got what we paid for :-)  These gals are definitely still learning and our local Korean manicurists have nothing to worry about in the way of competition.  But they were very sweet and I now have pretty "canasta nails" as Katie calls them--kind of that orangey pink color us old ladies love.  My girl wasn't able to get polish on the left edge of any of my nails, but from a distance they look fine.  And Katie got a dark purple, which is very "her".  She also endured about 30 minutes of her girl trying to chip off her previous Gelish polish.  Apparently this stuff is bullet proof (or it is if you are a Spokane Community College cosmetology student who tried to pry it off with an orange stick)

So, now I'm beautiful!  Or at least my hand are.  And I have a 15% off coupon on hair extensions.  Yay.
