I'm convinced people caused Disney to remove bench's. Probably someone got hurt on a bench, and away they went!

Maybe people started sleeping on them when they raised the price of hotel rooms.

Just settling in after an afternoon and evening with the family. The kids wanted to take hubby to the board game cafe for his birthday. (It was last Saturday but he's been celebrating all week. Today was the first chance that they had to do something special with their dad.) So, we did that. Then we went grocery shopping for our big Thanksgiving meal, which we will have tomorrow. Came home and had a delicious supper and a Dairy Queen treatza pizza for his birthday. Now they are getting to bed and I've got my feet up finally. What a great day!

So happy for you, and a Happy Thanksgiving! Blessings to all of your family!

Oh that poor child!!! I cut my own bangs because the stylist always cuts them too short. Every stylist I've ever allowed to cut them has cut them too short. I like them at eyebrow length or just barely above. Did you actually PAY for it when she cut them so unevenly?

I did actually. I must have been temporarily blinded or I wasn't paying attention. I didn't really look closely because it seemed like a pretty simple trim. And then when we left and got into the next store and I looked at him in the face, I couldn't believe it. That will teach me!

My grandfather stopped by today to give us my great-great grandfather's violin and viola. My great great grandfather was in the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra. The violin and viola are each over 100 years old. Sad because all I could do today was tune them, play the strings with no fingering using my violin's bow, and pluck "Twinkle twinkle little star" as if they were guitars. But once my hand heals, going to teach myself viola.

That is absolutely amazing. What a gift! And how wonderful that it will get played.

I wear color now. I wear black pants, but I generally have a brightly colored top. I was severely insecure back in high school. I WISH I looked like I did back then. Part of it is that I was the first in my class to develop, and I tried to hide it with baggy clothing, which just ended up making me look chubby. I was bigger than the other girls, but it was because I actually had hips and such. But I was very conservative and convinced that nice girls don't have...curves. When I played Daisy Mae in our school's production of Lil Abner, I had to wear an off the shoulder top and I was horrified because I felt it accentuated my bust, which was rather large in proportion to the rest of my body, and I felt self conscious and embarrassed. So I wore a lot of shapeless clothing and bland colors. Now I LOVE color. My wardrobe is kind of a rainbow now. I'm still a bit self-conscious about my size and about the size of my bust, but I don't try to hide it with the mousy clothing. I try to wear things that draw the eyes somewhere else and bring out my better features instead.

People always complain about getting older and I have been known to complain about the aches and the pains. But there are so many blessings that come with age. And, for me, as each year goes by, I become more and more confident. When I think of the time spent in my youth worrying about what other people thought of my appearance... It's so different now that I'm in my mid-thirities. I realize that confidence is what matters. I am hoping that as time marches on I will become even more comfortable in my own skin.
