Birthday Botox

Gigi

botoxThis month marked another candle on the cake and another harsh look in the mirror (where are those damn 10 watt bulbs?)  I decided it was time to get a little "pick me up," it was time for Botox.  I remember saying in my youth, "I will never wrinkle like those women" (said intelligently while applying baby oil to my face and body).  I've been told in recent years I have an expressive face.  I thought it meant I had a big smile and bug eyes when I told a story. (translation, whoa you could put a quarter in that furrow)  

No Lifeguard on Duty

Gigi

nani naluI spent last week in Florida on vacation, along with everybody else from the Upper Midwest. (you betcha!)  My days were very hectic, I had mandatory poolside duty which included hours of soaking up the sun, flipping through magazines and people watching. (exhausting!)  Everyday was pretty much the same with me starting these labor intensive days at the crack of 9:00 AM.
9:00 am- Run down to pool to reserve prime seating blatantly ignoring the sign stating, "towels do not reserve chairs" (I'm a rebel)

Heartbreaker

Gigi

OM MinneapolisWe girls are strong creatures but every once and awhile someone or something comes along and knocks us on our ass. I've decided that there are seven "for sures" that happen when your heart is broken.
1) The gut retching, non stop sobbing resulting in collapsing to the floor and wondering if you will ever be able to get up. (when is the last time I vacuumed?)
2) Food loses all taste resulting in immediate weight loss. (why couldn't this have happened before my high school reunion-damn!)
3) There is no such thing as "waterproof" mascara, period.
4) Some sadistic radio DJ has decided to play every love song ever written for the next 72 hours, "commercial free." (easy listening, my ass!)
