Funny Mistakes

Last Wednesday, after reading a fashion magazine, i trimmed my eyebrows. There's this new trend on eyebrows and i sort of wanted to try it. See if it looks good on me. Well, I kinda screwed up and somehow managed to trim (pluck!) half my brows! Now I look ridiculous! My brows ends up in the middle of my eyes. To give you a better picture, let's say a normal length for it is 2 inches and now, mine is only an inch! The weird thing is, I don't feel stupid or hate myself for having done so. I find it funny and I giggle whenever I see myself in the mirror. I admit I look hideous but it'll grow back... So no worries! I just cover my mistake with my overgrown bangs. I learned an important lesson with this experience - Don't be cheap if you want to be trendy! Go to the professionals!

I had a nice weekend, Friday, we went to Turtleback to play some golf. Rick usually takes me to the driving range and practice hitting. But this time, we actually played a real game! We only did the 9-holes and it was fun! He obviously won, but he said I didn't do too bad at all! He even thinks I did very well. I scored 65 for a 35-par course. I think that sucks, but for a first timer, he said that's really good! I don't have a problem getting the ball on the green, my biggest problem was putting, getting the ball in the hole! I'm looking forward to our next game. Hopefully, I'll do better...

Saturday, it was a rainy day and I didn't have anything planned for the day. But Rick insisted on taking me shopping! I can't believe what I was hearing when he said he wanted to go to Rice Lake. Of course I didn't waste time because he might change his mind, So I quickly changed and fix my face! Tried to look good even if I didn't shower. I rarely go to the mall without taking a shower. But i didn't want to risk it. It must have been my lucky day because 1. he took me shopping without a fuss 2. i found a couple pretty dress on sale and my size! We came home with a smile on my face. I actually slept pretty good too!

Life is Good!

Just Another Day...

I got the day-off again. Time to shop online, catch up with chores, talk to my family and have a little ME time. I sooo love Fridays! I already have my schedule lined-up for today - that is the chores part, but for the me time, i don't have any idea yet. Maybe I'll soak in the tub for an hour and scrub away dead skin cells. Or maybe I'll cook something Filipino and chow away! Better yet, I will do both! Oh... I sooo love Fridays...

I felt bad after Rick read my last blog entry. He kept asking me if it was him that's making me unhappy. I told him no, but i guess he's not convinced. I am just tired. Plainly tired. But I am getting used to my schedule now. I think I am even sleeping better. Although, the habit of waking up at 7am follows me even during the weekend. I wish my system has a weekend sleeper button, just like our alarm clock! But it doesn't! Sucks! He even asked me if i wanted to go on vacation, but really, i don't need another vacation! Not yet anyway. I will just feel more tired and lazy once i get back. I'll get out of this phase in my life. I feel better already! I just need rest and lots of sleep. I need to eat healthy and exercise too. I'll add the treadmill to my to do list today.

Anyway, I went to the Diethelm family reunion last Sunday. I was kinda apprehensive about it days before. I wanted to look great and make Rick proud of me! I even bought a foundation so i will look flawless. Unfortunately, i bought the wrong color. So i ended up looking like a clown. Good thing we had to go a few miles yet and i keep a bottled water in the car, so i was able to erase my face! Rick kept telling me I look wonderful! Which made me feel good. So finally, the inevitable came! One by one the Diethelms came... everybody seems to know about me. And they were oh! so nice to me. They teased me about having a quiz at the end of the day about the cousins' names, which they all know is impossible to remember! I was really glad we went to the reunion. There really was no reason for me to get scared of meeting them. They all seem to be lovely people. And I know I made Marie and Rick happy, which makes me feel happy too.

Good people and good food sums up to a GREAT day!

Time Flies!

It's already August. It seems like it was only yesterday when we celebrated Christmas... Time does fly nowadays. It's hard to catch up sometimes but we have to. Good thing my schedule is pretty much the same now. Although it still involve lots of work days and very little time for me and my life.

I am mostly tired nowadays. Probably because i am working too many hours or maybe because i don't sleep very well at night. I guess, both! Sometimes when the alarm wakes me up in the morning, the first thing that comes to my mind is "darn!", coz i don't want to get up yet but i have to! I feel terrible when that happens coz i am suppose to be thankful for another day. But there are just days when sleepy me wants to stay in bed a little longer...

I feel like i'm in a rut nowadays. I don't know why, but Rick noticed it too. He said i seem to be unhappy. But really i feel weird. Shopping doesn't even cheer me up! I feel sad but i don't know why i am sad... I am tired all the time, maybe that's why i am sad... I really need a break. I finally have the weekend off but we have to go to the Diethelm (Rick's mom's side of the family) reunion on Sunday. Now i can't just relax at home, stay in my undies, not take a shower, eat junk food and just watch tv all day... oh how i miss those days...

News people are still talking about the 35W bridge in Minneapolis that collapsed. It was really a tragedy. Everybody was in shock. My friend at work called her brother who lives in the cities immediately when she saw what happened on the news. Rick called his family too just to make sure that they are fine. Everyone was fine. Thank God! I got goosebumps while watching the news coz it was just so sad... We never expect anything like this to happen... especially not in America!
