When you want to smile, just stand up, turn on the radio and dance!  Don't worry you don't have to dance alone just dance with the rest of the world:  ;D

So I decided to do something I always wanted to do for H, but never did.  I never spent money on myself since there was always some other thing that seemed more important.  It's funny that now with half our former household income, I feel like I have more money.  And I am anonymous here, so I can say stuff I could only tell a couple friends!  I have some ugly spider veins I started getting when I was 14 and though the rest of me has aged pretty well (I even get carded now and then!) my legs made me look like I was 50, so I decided to have them lasered, but right before I made the appointment, I WON a treament.  So, I decided to pay for laser hair removal instead.  After losing weight on the divorce diet, upgrading my wardrobe with the new job, and now my legs look young again and I am mostly hairless, I FEEL awesome.  I never admitted how bad my legs made me feel to anyone but H, but it was so much worse than I thought and now when summer comes again, I'll be able to wear shorts and short skirts and sleeveless shirts and feel really good!  Anyway, it really isn't GAL, but I am so happy about it, I had to tell someone!!!  Love and light, Lisa

#? This is the best facial I've ever tried ~ Aztec Indian Healing Clay. The small ( 1 lb. ) lasts for a very long time and a little bit goes a long way. You can mix it with a little bit of milk or plain yogurt and it works great. I love it and it's very calming but it's very powerful! You'll definitely feel it working! :o
