Wow, has anyone missed my blog? I sure did, but had trouble for the past 4 months logging into it! Blogger has sold to Google some time ago, and now they've made it next to impossible (at least for a non-techy person like myself) to easily figure out how to sign back in if you use anything but Google. Shesh! If not my highly-tech husband and us both devoting over an hour to the effort, I would have perhaps NEVER gotten back in.
At any rate, here I am, and here is my "new hair." As you can see, once I finally grew the gray totally out, I decided, in February of this year, to return to coloring it again. Ha! I know, that seems crazy considering it took me 14 months to grow it completely out, but I'm not quite ready for gray hair yet. I was completely sick of the fake-looking red I had for so long, so now I have some light brown with blonde highlights. What do you think?
Also, as you know, my long-devoted and dearly loved dog, Domino, passed away in early February. In fact, that was the last blog post I was able to make. But now we have a 2 year old rescue dog named Charlie. He's nearly three years old, and has already had 2 previous owners. We are the third. Hopefully third time is a charm for him?
He's supposedly a LARGE Boston Terrier (28 pounds) but in researching the breeds, and having him out and about, many people have suggested that he looks more like a French Bulldog/possibly Boston Terrier mix. I don't know what he is, but he's as cute as a button and by far the smartest, funniest dog I can imagine. He's such a clown and constantly keeps us entertained. In the photo here, it appears his eyes are bright blue but that's not the case, they are deep brown. It just must have been my flash that changed his eye color. Doesn't he bear a striking resemblance to this dog on the Pledge floor cleaning container?
Sorry to make this such a long blog post, but I'm thrilled to be able to get back on here again. In spite of finally getting a Facebook account, let me just say that Facebook is not my "thing." If you want to keep up with me, this blog is the best way, and I swear I'll update it more now that I've found my way back in.
Happy Memorial Day for those Veteran's who sacrificed their lives for us. My family went to the cemetery yesterday and decorated the graves of all our loved ones. That's such a special tradition, one of the few left in my family that has too FEW family members left living, and those of us who are alive are spread across the country. But going to the cemetery with Bob, Emily and my Mom to decorate the graves is always very moving for me. I miss those we've lost so much. I also wish I had a bigger family. I miss my brother, Casey, who was a military man, so much. Can't believe he was gone at age 45.
I'm still trying to lose weight (that is a never ending battle). I'm still working a lot of hours, but absolutely LOVING my job as a headhunter/recruiter and I've been doing it for just over a year now. What a blessing it was that God brought that career into my life. It's late in life to start, but I've never done anything as soul-satisfying in my entire life. I actually LOVE going to work every day.
Well, I guess I will end this for now, but promise to be back with you all again VERY soon.
Ta ta!
