Those wonderful AHA moments

Greetings to all!

Today was/is "Pamper Colleen Day" and I have taken full advantage of it.  Did a little shopping on ebay this morning, went back to the eye doctor who was able to fit me with my new contacts (my corneas healed up in the last week) and I went to get my nails done.

My AHA moment came when I took off my coat at the nail salon.  The girl who does my nails said, "WHOA!  Look at you, you're skinny!"  I hadn't been in to have my nails done since my surgery and it was so cool to have her notice.  Had to also have my eyebrows waxed; the cavewoman look doesn't work unless you have glasses to hide behind!  It feels a little weird to look like a girl again.

I hope you are all having a great day!

yeayyyyyy!!!!!! Isn't it an awesome feeling when someone you haven't seen in a while see's you and you get that reaction! I used to love it when people didn't even recognize me. Or would talk to me, knowing they knew me from somewhere, then when it hit them they were floored.. hahaha!!! A definate feel good!

Good for you taking some YOU time and pampering yourself a bit. we all deserve that, and i am so glad you treated yourself.

You have a great day too!
