I have never been a

girly girl.

And, yes I will admit - I have never had a mani-pedi - heck, I barely have nails. And the thought of anyone touching my feet??? I will kick and totally freak out. Just ask my daughter - when she really wants to pick on me, she will reach over and tickle my feet.

I was never a person that wore a lot of make-up - a little blush, mascara and eye shadow. Lately, I have noticed that I have almost no eyebrows -- they are very sparse and grey like the hair on my head. Maybe they have always been that way and the fact that my new glasses have black rims just makes them look greyer.

I wonder if I should start wearing makeup again. It has probably been more than 10 years -- I will have to ask Nancie to give me lessons on how to do the smokey eyes or whatever it is they call it. She can do all this wonderful things with her eyes and makeup. And I do believe that she "stole" my eyelashes as she has these thick, long ones.

Next --- hair -- my very thin, long, grey hair. I want to do something but I don't know what to do. I have always had very fine hair - doesn't hold a curl at all and a perm - forget about it. I don't have bangs - should I have them??

So, peoples - is 53 too late to regain my girlyness?? ha ha ha

Oh and before someone says to post a picture to give them idea about the hair = forget about it!!! I have tried but I just can't do the whole take your picture in the bathroom mirror. It just freaks me out trying to look like I am not looking at myself.

But now, back to enter memorials - less than 50 and I will have entered 10,000 memorials -- the goal this Spring and Summer is finish 2 of them with photos. One needs about 2200 and the other needs about 500.

Remeber how I said that I was

going to buy rubber boots so that I could walk in cemeteries when it rains?? Well, I went, I looked and I admit --- I AM CHEAP!!!!!

$35 to $49 for RUBBER BOOTS!!!! I just can't see paying that much for them. Nancie was "Well, if you are going to use them" But the cheapness in me just couldn't do it. I think I will go back this weekend, look at them again because I am missing the cemeteries and I know from the weather we have had they will be wet and in some of them, muddy.

Speaking of shoes (ok, it really was boots but you get it, right??) I have about 4 pairs of high heels that I haven't been able to wear since my stroke. They are not high but the balance just isn't there anymore.

But I am trying to improve it. On the wii Fit there is Yoga, so I have been doing it for while in hopes that I can get the balance back. Its weird, the stroke effected my right arm and leg, but I think that I have over-compensated, because my balance now is more to the right side according to the tests on the wii. It is my right ankle that is the most problem I have - it is always swollen and very stiff in the morning and sometimes when I get home at night.

I have a very hard time balancing on the left side. I just hope that these do help some, I miss my heels. And I haven't been caught by Nancie yet, but sometimes, when home alone, I will put on a pair and see how long I can walk around before then ankle gives out. Now, you might not want to picture it but think about it - PJs & heels and no, it is not the kind of PJs that go with heels.

So, this is my Wednesday post - have a great day, a great remaining week and talk to you all later.
