Hello and Welcome to 40.....

Oye!  Ya know, this whole getting older thing, it's for the birds!  I;m not sure who decided at 40 that they suddenly wanted to start playing with the thermostat in my body, but they need to knock it off!  This hot then cold flash dance suuuuuuuuuucks!

Of course, someone suggested I go to a dr and get hormones.  Uh, No thank you, I'll pass.  Ya see, menopause is like puberty...in reverse.  Can you imagine having to deal with that crap over years?!?!  Not to mention, Hello?  I'm Latin.  I'm hairy enough!!!  If I took hormones Jaxie Boo would be able to braid the GD hair on my back!!!  And Jinxie Boo would like put beads and bows in it!!!!  Told you my friends are hysterical! 

So, in closing, allow me to regale you with what happened at the salon today.  So, I went to get my eyebrows and lip done (or get de-yetified as Hubby Bubby (that's Frank to the rest of you) and I so affectionately call it.)  I did mention I was Latin right?   I lay down on the little bed thing and the girl is looking at my face and we have the following conversation.....

Her -  Oh...I be right back....

Me - Uh...Ok

Her- (calls out from the little room in Vietnamese)

In comes the owner of the salon, they talk the owner comes over and looks at my face.

Owner - Oh Honey (She couldn't remember my name if her life depended on it...Just sayin)  you have red on you face by you eye.  Like rash o irritation.  (hands me a mirror)

Me-  WHAT?!  (grabs mirror and looks) Uh...no...that's eyeshadow! 

Yup..that just happened about an hour again.  My life I tell ya.  And it wasn't even red eyeshadow, it was dark pink! 

I mean really?  Is it me?!

And Welcome Back to you too...

PHEW!  Ya ever been so busy you don't know whether to wind your ass or scratch your watch?  Yup that me lately...ALL the TIME.  I saw on FB somewhere about  "If you want to know what a creative person's mind is like, just picture a browser with 2857 windows open, all at once all the time."  Truer words were never spoken!  I feel like that 24/7.  Half the time the reason I can't sleep is because my brain won't shut up long enough for me to fall down the rabbit hole.

Things that have happened lately?  Well Jaxie Boo's youngest lil Sweetheart turned a year old.  AH MAZING!  Can't wait to see the mini Boo's I love so very much.  *waves* Titi loves you!

My other Bestie Boo. We'll call her Jinxie Boo for the sake of anonymity she is doing amazing and is finished with the Festival so I finally get Jinxie Boo time!  VERY IMPORTANT.

OH And Gramma is coming into town for Mother's day.  VERY exciting!  It's been two years and I'm trying to get all the time I can with her.  And of course Mother's Day with the most amazing MAMI in the entire world the rest of you can suck it!   Just sayin...

OH I almost forgot!!!!  My temporary job?  Yeah...it became permanent on the 29th of April.  Not even here a month and they decided to keep me!  I am thrilled!!!

My pal, we'll call him Jimmy here, had what he calls an "incident".  I had no idea "incident" translated into MILD STROKE.  I am happy to report Jimmy is feeling much better and doing AWESOME!

Spring/Summer is doing it;s thing here in St. Petersburg, FL.  That means several things...
1)  My pollen allergies are kicking my BUTT!
2) We'll be getting into the rain pattern here which means it will pour from 2-4 and then be steamy.  Time to make sure all the A/C's in the cars have freon or what have you.
3) The Costuming bug is eating me alive!  I have to get my sewing room cleaned up so I can start working on stuff.  I have all kinds of ideas.  Everything from the evil snobby McSpiffy piratical era family, to the burlesque troupe (Yet unnamed) to the Saloon girls in the Old West and the Pub girls of the Renissamce period.  LOTS of sewing!!!!

What are you guys up to?
