From time to time, I still drop in to the steakhouse where I spent a good deal of my time making a few dollars what seems so very long ago now…so much has changed. Yesterday I was there, and my sushi order was delicious, but the mayor’s son was also there ordering lobster again with his usual extra-extra-extra butter…I couldn’t help but remember how I’d been so nasty to him even though he was one of the restaurant’s best customers and how annoyed my ex-boss was at me…for a second I thought about apologizing to him…yep, I did…and then I came to my senses.

As you can see, Ginger my beautiful and faithful kitty is about as impressed as I am with all this freakin' snow that just keeps coming and coming. These cold winter days haven’t done a thing for her waistline…she’s no longer the skinny little thing that I found, what seems so long ago now, in the dumpster half-starved. But she still has those beautiful yellow eyes and can be quite amusing when she’s not pouting about the weather right along with me.
Here's a treat for you - olive oil and white sugar! Yep…I now swear by it. Thanks to a great tip from Finn, I now keep some Extra Virgin (side note - just how prudish are these EXTRA virgin olives anyway?) olive oil in a small spray bottle and every morning and night, I spray some on my face and neck. Then I spread some sweet, sweet sugar all over that oil and gently rub, creating an aux natural exfoliator.
After rinsing off the solution, my winter-worn skin is left nice and soft. I’ve found that my special red juice works wonders for my bod, but these Bar Harbor winters on exposed skin leaves this new regimen working for me! Here’s just one of my many necessary hats for these January days. If you would’ve been out in that nasty nor’easter we had the other day (like Finn and I were), you’d own a healthy supply of them too. Wimpy Finny will never get used to days like that...I think he needs a pretty hat for his head too!
No doubt about it…these Bar Harbor winters are just fucking cruel! The stiff winds off the ocean and these beyond-cold temps are wreaking havoc on my long, STILL BLONDE locks, and we won’t even get into what’s happening to my “royal” skin….ugh!!! Sad face.
Resolutions...so ya...it's a new year. To start it off right, we're supposed to be better; do better...so it's said.
I'm aware that I'm a diva, a spoiled brat, a fashionista who would do well to curb the "less-than-desirable linguistics" that roll so easily off my tongue a fair amount of the time. And I suppose I could go on. But I'm not going to. Nope! Because these are just parts of me that help to make up all of me. And I know that my BFF, Finn, Bob, Ginger, and freaks everywhere would agree. Say what you will, I like me. I hope you like you too. Resolutions Shmezolutions ... here's raising a glass of my special red juice to all of you and all that awaits each of us in 2014! |
