bay-bee its cold outside
truly
no joke
it was
in
the 20s
this morning
when
i left
to
beautify™
i may complain
about
the cold
the wind
my ears hurting
but
it doesn't stop me
from
going out
i have a weekly mission
to try
to keep
to preserve
as much
of me
as i can
with
help
from
professionals
good mani/pedis
are
not only
pampering
but
restorative
a way to relax
it doesn't hurt
that it makes me feel good
while i try to look good
getting my hair
washed
blown dry
styled
is another part of my routine
my mother
believed
in doing
whatever
she could
to make herself more attractive
even
tho
my dad
rarely
commented
he noticed
i guess
its just another way
i take after her
much
as
i like to deny it
maybe
its the approaching holidays
maybe
its a Facebook conversation
i had with a cousin i am close to
maybe
its the passing of another cousin
one
i wasn't close to at all
maybe
it was finding
these
cups and saucers
that were mom's
they were
up
in
the above
the microwave cupboard
covered in dust
i was looking
for
something else
don't
ask me
what
cause
i
don't
can't
remember
they caught my eye
i got the iPhone
took a photo
maybe
i will take them down
clean them up
use them
for
dessert
at
our
combo
thanksgiving hanukkah dinner
on
thursday
we'll see
