Yesterday we went to the mall...I wanted to get some sephora (sparkle of course) eyeliner. The sephora store we went to didn't have it. I should have walked directly out of the store to the bench where Pat was waiting for me, but NOOOO...I was instead pulled like a magnet toward the nail polish in the shop. Hey..come to think of it, there is a magnet with this polish, it's that magnetic kind that leaves a design on your nails. I'm attaching a picture of it here, because I like it so much! I've tried other magnetic polish, but had never seen one like this one. It makes a star on your nail. My nails are a mess, can't get them to grow, but I still like to have fun with polish! I recently found one online that looks like a hollogram on your nails! I have never seen anything like it before, when I have it on I am in awe of how the light hits it and makes a rainbow of colors! I told Christie to try it on when she was here and she likes it as much as me! Anyway, back to sephora. I just had to get the magnetic star polish, which wouldn't have been so bad had I stopped there, but along with it, I also bought a canister of Andy Warhol inspired lipglosses and some NARS eyeshadow. I swear, someone needs to lock me up and throw away the key!
Today is a rainy day. The kind of day where you don't want to get out of bed! Or if you do, just curl up on the couch with a hot bowl of chili and be a slug! We weren't able to do this, because I had a doctor appt this morning. Nothing serious, just a check on some moles...ewwww...why does that word sound so gross?! Even grosser is that what I had checked aren't moles, they're old age spots. I can't remember the medical name for them, but it's even grosser sounding then the word "mole"! My mom said that when we get old we grow mold on our bodies...I'm beginning to believe her! The older I get, the faster things seem to be falling....I can't wait for the day when I say "SCREW it" and just stop caring about how I look! As it is now I feel like a furbie sharpei. You remember those furbie toys? The ones that looked like little ewoks that you could train to say certain words? Well, with old age you grow hair in places you DON'T want it to grow, and you lose it (on your head) where you want it to stay! With the facial hair, I think I look like a furbie. And you all know what a sharpei looks like...all those adorable wrinkles and saggy skin...adorable ON A DOG...not on me! I wish I weren't so afraid of botox, I get it on occasion, but not that often and when i do get it, I will only let the doctor put so much in me. I have this irrational fear that it's going to leave me paralyzed! If I weren't afraid of everything and if I had a ton of money, I'd be getting everything lifted, snipped, cut, and lasered! I was thrilled today, when the doctor I saw, froze off these spots I was seen for. Because it was done at our clinic, there was no charge! What ever happened to the good ole' days when the military paid for cosmetic surgery?! Now they won't even cover my retin-A! Years ago I had a surgery date set up to get a nose job at Wright Patterson AFB, I chickened out at the last minute and never went thru with it. I've wanted to kick myself more then once over this one! I mean, how many people can get a cosmetic procedure done free of charge?! One more thing about my doctor appt...you know you're old when your doctor looks like he could be your child, sometimes even your grandchild!
We left the clinic and went to Barnes and Noble for my daily fix of starbucks and then stopped off at an optical shop so I could  buy some latiesse.  I use it to make my eye lashes grow longer. It really does work! Once again, I should have let Pat go in to get it for me, because I swear I can find something I want to buy no matter where I might be! I was drawn like a magnet, (must have been this darned magnetic polish I have on) straight to the sunglasses on display. I do NOT need sunglasses...I have two pair of Chanel sunglasses and one pair of burberry. They were not cheap, but in my defense, I have had the one pair of Chanel ones for about ten years! Keep them in the eyeglass case and they'll last a lifetime! These sunglasses were calling out my name...the sides of them, the arms, were covered in swarvoski crystals! OMG...are you kidding me....CRYSTALS...MEGA bling...I tried on about six pair and was giddy just looking at them!! I'm serious....I get giddy when I see anything that sparkles and has bling on it! I get so happy and excited that I want to cry for joy! How insane and sick is this?!! I was proud of myself, when we left the shop with only my latiesse! I did have the woman working in the optical shop write down the numbers and prices of all these beautiful sunglasses for me though..I will definately go back to get a pair!!

The picture I,m attaching here is of Pat and me...Dave took it last week. My boots are no doubt yet another NO NO for a woman my age...Doc Martins with ribbon laces. The inside of them is a floral material. I love them...Pat on the other hand, thinks they look just like the combat boots he had to wear in the military!

and last but not least is my dose of cute for today....this is Chole and granny..dont you just love Chloes do-wrap?!! Like I said, the little baby is going to have her old grannys sense of style!
