Why Now. And happy birthday Heather.

Happy Birthday, Heather. I am so proud of you and I love you.

Why did I wait until I was 53 to get my ears pierced? I have never really worn much jewelry. I forget to put it on, I fiddle with it, and I just don't care that much.
But now I am middle aged and not as pretty as I once was. (I know all of you who love me will protest that I am still pretty, but you are prejudiced.) I have noticed that earrings make women my age look a little more feminine and a little prettier. I don't like clip-ons, so I decided to finally do it and get them pierced. I think I am going to like it.

I am finally a big girl.

Getting your ears pierced is a "big girl" kind of thing. Today I got my ears pierced. Really!

This should be a fun day.

I am excited for today.
This morning Annie and I are going to the temple.
I have a lot of time to sew today and it is really fun to sew again because today's fashions are easy to sew.
I just bought Jane Seymour version of the Scarlet Pimpernel and we are going to watch it tonight.

Judy Gaga

You will probably believe me when I say that I am not a Lady Gaga fan. I don't get her at all. But I must say that this is one of the most amazing dresses I have ever seen. I love it. Judy Jetson come to life.
And look at her hair. You know how little kids color blond hair yellow. Her hair really is yellow.
I still don't get her shoes.

A fun wedding reception

Last night Frank and I went to a wedding reception for Rachel Wortley. Annie and Rachel were best friends in middle school. I loved Rachel, but I hadn't seen her for nine years. The reception was at the Huntsman Cancer Institute in SLC. There is a beautiful restaurant/reception center there.
The most fun thing was seeing Rachel again. The next most fun thing was the photo booth. They had a photo booth there. Everyone had to get their picture taken and then one strip was put in the guest book and the guest got to keep the other strip. Fun!
I think the first two pictures of Frank and I are pretty good.

A fun mother daughter date

Today Sara and I had such a fun time together. I had a dentist appointment at 9:00 and Sara had one at 10:30 at the same dentist, so we went together. I was getting a filling and a crown. I guess my filling was really hard because the dentist took forever on it. The crown took the normal amount of time, but I wasn't finished until after 12:30. Sara was just getting a permanent crown set, but she had to wait forever because of me. We weren't finished until almost 1:00. The dentist felt bad that we were both there so long so he gave Sara a free flouride treatment and he gave us both Crest gift packs.
While I was waiting the last few minutes for Sara to finish I was reading in Real Simple magazine. I love that magazine. Anyway, there was a question in there about whether or not something was honest. Someone said she likes to take a friend shopping with her at Costco. The friend is not a member, but usually buys something. Is that honest? I was surprised at the answer. Costco and Sams like people to bring nonmembers shopping with them. As long as they are there together to pay there is no problem. It is good advertising and PR.
