Lady On A Double Mission...

While exercising this morning at the Hays Senior Center in North Little Rock, AR, their most very accurate weight scale hit 128. Yea! Only 8 more pounds to go. That's the first mission. 

Second mission is a tad bit more IMPOSSIBLE. Been working on the Keiser System ( wonderful for OLD people, like me) for two months now, which is a weight resistance machine program that I absolutely love. Goal (dream with ACTION) is a HARD BODY. 

Hummmm, beginning to think the only way to a hard body at this point in life is probably when RIGOR MORTIS sets in...will keep you informed and surely you will be waiting on the edge of your seat. 

 

Sorry About The Sandals...

I know, I got to Day 13 on my 33 days of extraordinary sandals and fell to pieces. Sorry bout that however, I am a very fickle gal. And, now I'm into hats...

Thirty Three Days Of Extraordinary Sandals...

There is nothing more perfect than a basic, black pair of sandals. Perfect, practical, and pretty, especially with a LBD! These are Bandolino...

Thirty Three Days Of Extraordinary Sandals...

Ever cool, ever practical, everlasting are my tourqoise Buffalo River wear! These are Tevas...

Thirty Three Days Of Extraordinary Sandals...

These adorable cork heeled sandals are fun and extra comfortable to wear. Comfy because they have flexible spandex straps and fun because they are RED!!! These are Antonio Melani...

Thirty Three Days Of Extraordinary Sandals...

I think these sandals are really cool however, I would not recommend them to people of short patience. The straps are built into the shoe and one must pull and tug to get them at the proper fit. Whew...it took me 30 minutes to get them on in order to snap this pic! Anyway, they are adventurous sandals that definitely belong on my extraordinary list. These are Chacos...

Thirty Three Days Of Extraordinary Sandals...

Never discard classic styles because, what goes 'round always comes 'round again. These old things could never be considered passé. I compliment these copper cuties with matching nail polish! These are Etienne Aigner...

Thirty Three Days Of Extraordinary Sandals...

I've had these comfortable sandals for three years and they are just as stylish today as they were back then. Comfort with a nice heel! These are Indigo by Clarks...

Thirty Three Days Of Extraordinary Sandals...

These stretchy laced wedges are one of my favorite colors, Navy blue. They look wonderful with anything red, white, and blue and especially snazzy with another favorite color of mine, orange. These are IMPO Stretch...

Thirty Three Days Of Extraordinary Sandals...

I think these glittery, metallic cork wedges are very exciting. They, like many of my other sandals, can be dressed up or dressed down. These are  AK Sport...

Thirty Three Days Of Extraordinary Sandals...

It's the day after Easter and white shoes and sandals are officially legal! However, these wonderful sandals are beige in color. I love these comfy sandals and they are so smart looking as well. And, don't you agree, life's too short for ordinary sandals! These are Josef Seibel...

 

Thirty Three Days Of Extraordinary Sandals...

Happy Easter everybody! Hope you wore your fancy shoes to church and have changed into a comfy pair of sandals. And, they have got to be special because, life's too short for ordinary sandals! These are Lucky Brand...

Thirty Three Days Of Extraordinary Sandals...

These were not really my size however, they were handed down and I love orange! Life's too short for ordinary sandals! These are Max Rave...

Thirty Three Days Of Extraordinary Sandals...

I buy a pair of these every year. Last year I bought a florescent orange. This year I chose a neutral tan. Choices, choices, choices. Because life's too short for ordinary sandals! These are Sam Edelman...

Thirty Three Days Of Extraordinary Sandals...

It's finally sandal weather in Little Rock! And, I'm on a DiOdyssey to wear a pretty pair of sandals each and every day for the next 33 days. Why 33 days? Because I love that number. And, why pretty sandals? Because life's too short for ordinary sandals! These are Lucky Brand...

I Lost My Sisters...

They didn't die or anything like that. They just went away. I have a pretty good idea why they got lost. It's a private matter. It use to be painful but I survived. In fact, I'm a whole lot happier these days, thank you! The grief process for this loss was very similar to the grief process I have experienced with the loss of my Daddy this past year. And, another fact...

"Against eternal injustice, man must assert justice, and to protest against the universe of grief, he must create happiness."

Albert Camus

So, if you've had a loss in your life, just remember the five steps of grieving are:

Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression and Acceptance. Get on through it...and go get HAPPY! Let's go shopping!

Hypothyroidism...

Ugh...what a bad word. Hypothyroidism. Didn't know I had it for (probably) years. Symptoms are numerous. Tired, weak, depressed, dry skin, brittle nails, hair loss, forgetful, hate the cold, weight gain. Just thought these were signs associated with getting older. 

Check out other symptoms and problems concerning the thyroid and how and why it controls every cell in your body at the following link. All it takes to fix is a simple blood test and a little pill for the rest of your life. Glad my doc cared enough to check me out. Now I feel like my old 'young' self again. Enjoying shopping again and found these cool pants at Bass Pro Shop! http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/000353.htm
