Toes in the water....

Just to put my chair close enough to the ocean and have my toes wiggling around in the water while I feel the warm sun shine all over my body. I guess waking up to a window open and feeling the crisp cool morning air gave me a reality slap that fall is here. I didn't want to get out of bed this morning and feel the coolness instead of the warmth of my covers. But I didn't want to sleep in and I would be even groggier tomorrow morning for work. So while hubby was snoring away, I got up...made coffee and got to watch my DIY network while snuggling up with my afghan on the couch. I'm not ready for cool weather! I want to put my toes in the sand and enjoy more summer sunshine.

Smokey Eye with blue eyes

I figure that I will try this and see how a smokey eye looks with my blue eyes.  I have a feeling it will make me look like Elvira with the heavy make-up against my pale skin.  I laugh at the commerical of the boy and girl getting their lunch from their Mom and she has deep smokey eyes with heavy eye liner.  The kids are scared of her because it looks so bold against her face.  Well this past Monday we have a visitor from our Finance Dept come in to help with inventory.  She was blonde and pale and not the bimbo blonde type but the demure Sara Moulton chef from Food Network. She had on jeans, t-shirt and grey light hoodie. She had the bold smokey eye with dark mascara.  She looked too made up for the office. I thought it would of looked nice if she had on a black dress and a little more cheek makeup to give her color.

I am not a girly girl.  I only recently began to feel feminine and sexy. I always wanted to look good but thought it was a waste of time since no one ever commented on my looks. (only on my hair)  So now I want to try different fashions and makeup and yes even try COCO Chanel cologne. LOL  I think a short black skirt with purple shirt and my smokey eye will look sexy for a nice night out.
 
Well I will try it and see what my friend thinks.  If not, I always have my trusty Avon eye makeup remover!

Future invention that will happen in next 10 years

I predict.... I have seen the new Samsung Galaxy commerical The commerical shows all the different tv shows and cartoons that have a talking watch for the future. Picture George Jetson! So after I see that commercial I tell my husband that someone in this world has been working on getting a 3d projection to work- just like Princess Leia from Star Wars, when her message to help save her came through R2D2. Then there is the AT&T digital life where the kids just left home and the Dad pulls out his cell phone and shuts off lights, turns off the water and locks the door all from him phone. Thats the future. https://my-digitallife.att.com/learn/ The radio announce joked this morning that there are 3 billion people using cell phones world-wide so what would happen if we all put them on "vibrate" and they went off at the same time. The technology is changing so fast and Earth is going to be overrun with computers someday. But the good news is hopefully with improved technology, maybe we will end up living longer and get to spend more time to love each other.

Fragrance

I think we associate different scents to different things. I know the smell of Jean Nate would make me think of my Mom. That was pretty much the fragrance she used growing up. That was until her children were old enough to afford Shalimar. I will never forget that smell of either of those signature smells of my Mother. There are also food smells that conjur up great memories. I know the smell of lobster or clams steaming brings me back to my childhood and the family get togethers. We use to have clamboils every summer. My Mom and sister even individually put the clams in a cheesecloth bag one year so we each had our own portion. I love the taste of clams steamed and then dunked in butter then slidding down the back of my throat. Mmmmm taste so good. One of the smells this past weekend was of CHANEL COCO MADEMOISELLE Eau de Parfum. Yes it is my sisters scent and she buys it twice a year since it is expensive. I asked her before I left yesterday if I could use some as she was spraying some on her. She showed me how she just sprays once behind each ear and then rubs her wrist up to her neck where she just sprayed. Very little bit but all day I could smell this beautiful fragrance and being on airplane and in airport, I am glad I smelled so good. Funny thing is..I came home, took a shower last night and dried my hair. This morning when I woke up, I can still smell the COCO Chanel smell. This will be my new fragrance! My pocketbook right now though is telling me to stay with my Japanese Cherry Blossom at Bath & Body Works. I love the smell of Ahm and Hammah and how it makes me smile with the many memories. Between the deoderant and the laundry detergent that are both hypo-allergenic, it has a manly clean smell that I love under my nose. Ok so my all time favorite is Ahm and Hammah!!

Trip back to MA

I will be visiting New Bedford this week and have a few different things that I want to do and one sad thing that I have to do. I want to eat some fish n' chips or fried clams. I want to drive down to the beach and sniff the salt water air and maybe put my toes on the cool sand. I want to see my friends and it will be extra special since my oldest friend Bridget will be visiting from Ft. Walton Beach. I need hugs from family and friends. I want to see the sun come up over Long Pond. I want to see Tyler Trahan roundabout. I want to have malassadas or linguica. Things that are no where to be found in South Cakalakee. This will be emotional visit also. My oldest brother's ashes will be buried at my parents grave. He wanted to be laid above my father, which is the perfect place for him. John J. O'Malley Jr. and his son John J. O'Malley III together again. I know they are both in heaven at Fiddler's Green. I know there is peace for him now. I will post pictures from my trip next week.
