There is nothing more fun than going to the hair salon

with a stylist you’ve had for 9 years and getting a new “DO” before a

special occasions.

There really is something special about having your hair done to 

perk you up, even after my sleepless night.  

Speaking of which, I broke down and bought Unisom last night, 

which did a great job of allowing me to follow asleep an stay asleep.  

Sleep is so important to my well being and since it seems to be happening due 

to menopause a solution has to be found!  

I loved sporting these Old Navy boyfriend pants  (no longer available) 

The slightly looser fit through my hips is perfection… 

I paired it with a thrifted top by Chadwicks.  

It never ceases to amaze me how much I use this orange Dooney purse that was gifted by a friend. 

I could never have imagined it prior to blogging. 

There are certain color combos that sing to me and 

Olive with Coral or any Orange shade is one of those.  

Adding these neutral Clark’s wedges, along with their sister version in black , 

has been the best addition to my Summer Style.  

Gratitude

I am grateful for sleep!  

I am grateful that my daughter’s new roommates are better than last years and all seem to want connections and to do things together. (last year’s were never home and had boyfriend’s in the area)  

I am grateful for the year with the previous roommates as not having that fail safe of friendships in a strange city pushed my introvert to reach out and find a fabulous very active group that love Anime to hang out with. (they aren’t fanatics about Anime, and do lots of fun activities together in the city) 

I am grateful that my daughter is calling me everyday on her walks back to her apartment and the fun chats we are having, and the wonderful memories it evokes of my own daily chats with my mother.   I miss those tremendously.  

I am grateful that as I typed this my husband was off to work and my youngest was asleep as was the dog and the only sound in my house is the water filter for the turtle tank.
