Decisions, decisions

The crisp chill of fall is in the air, and it's one of my favorite times to work in my garden. The days are getting shorter and I won't be able to sit outside after the workday to watch the grass grow....well, come to think about it, the grass will be too cold to grow, and I'd rather have a glass of wine in my hand than a flashlight anyway. So, it's really a fantasy to say I watch the grass grow, because DH knows if he keeps busy with me on the weekend, then I will pull out the little electric lawnmower and quickly sweep over our tiny yard during the week. So, he's off the hook for this chore once again, because today I gathered up an entire bag of clippings, proof positive the lawn was much overdue for its trimming.


Last night I gave my "First Impressions" workshop to a group of Mary Kay consultants and their leaders all who were eager students..... so it was a ton of fun for me too, and isn't that just the best kind of work? I give "homework" at these sessions and next week during Part Deux will be the chance for me to see my "students" strut their stuff as they bring or wear a professional outfit found from their closet by way of a new outlook on fashion styles linked to their personality: dramatic, classic, sporty/natural, or feminine. We'll see how they do.


Jewelry always brings a smile to the faces of women, and when they get to choose their own pieces at 50% off, the smile is even broader. No more so than these days when the stock market is in turmoil, and the big decision on who to pick for the nation's leader is just weeks ahead of us. Decisions, decisions. So, now the debates are over for the evening, the wine glass is almost empty, and all this points to the end of another evening of multi-tasking, and time to jump into my plush Serta pillowtop.....I missed this bed even while I was on my wonderful journey to new and exotic ports. I smile each night as my head hits the pillow and for a moment, yes, just a tiny moment, all is right with the world....my world.
