This and that, the simple things

Monday was very windy. Like "Auntie Em! Auntie Em! Toto! Toto!" windy. Our recycling bin got blown across the yard and landed in a bush. Cans and bottles strewn all over. It didn't quite feel like tornado weather, though. Just windy.

We've got the windows and doors open today. The fresh air is wonderful *breathes deep*

Simple things in life make me happy. Like being able to use Dove soap. It's been so very, very long since I've been able to use an "over the counter" beauty bar on my face. Honestly, I can't remember how long it's been since I haven't had to take "special precautions." I love Dove's nectarine and white ginger beauty bar. The fragrance is wonderful, and the lather is rich and smooth. It's kinda silly how happy it makes me.

I've also discovered that I can wear regular lip glosses and lipsticks again. A few years back, I developed a really bad reaction to anything but Wild'Erb lip balm. And I'd have to wear that under the one kind of Mary Kay lipstick I could wear. But recently I've been wearing a L'Oreal lipstick I got at Sundance with no trouble, and the Sephora freebee I got hasn't caused a reaction either. And I've been wearing Bonnie Bell lip gloss. Seriously. Simple, everyday things, but I so enjoy them.

The Amish deli we frequent had Texas sheet cake for sale yesterday. It's been so long since I've had Texas sheet cake, I couldn't resist. Yum!

I think we're supposed to get the big winds tomorrow. Batten down the hatches!

But for today, it's gorgeous 56 degrees, sunny, light breeze. Aaaaaah. It'll go a long way toward melting the glacier that surrounds my house.

What is Texas sheet cake?

I love, love, love Texas sheet cake! Haven't had one in forever, but now I'm thinking I need to bake one this weekend.

It's 55 degrees, cloudy, windy and thunderstorms are headed our way today.

Lucky you, i still can't wear any lipstick *sigh*

Btw, did you get my reply?

Yes, yes, I did get your reply. I had written a response, but I didn't have time to finish it, and in the meantime, I lost my intent or changed my focus or something.

Perhaps I'll be able to get back to it later.
