Fall rain

Raining today...candles are lit. Cloudy and rainy days I almost always have candles burning. There my sunshine☼ sometimes. Today makes me think about how much I'm not looking forward to winter. Fall is my favorite time of year! Temps are great and the colors are better. Today we get rain...boo We have at least 2 more hikes we have to try to get in before winter's rain and cold sets in. I'm a weenie and I hate being cold and wet. Chances of me hiking in the rain or wet are slim, but you never know we could get a mild winter. We can only hope. I'm hoping for a beautiful fall this year. No rain to take down the leaves before there time. I love the fall leaves. It was such a nice ☼summer here and I think it's about to end. This morning it was almost chilly enough to turn on our house heater for a bit but I didn't. NOOOOOoooo not yet.

I was out and about yesterday and meeting my friend for lunch and I stopped into the woman's second hand clothing store I've used forever. They keep me dressed now & while losing 147 pounds. I traded a lot of my old clothes off to her on consignment little by little, bag by bag. She sold them and I got credits in her store. Those credits have just kept going and going. And each time I pick up something I never have to drop cash...I have store credit. Love it! Free shopping! Well I hit her up for a job yesterday while chit chatting. Perfect job for me and I would love, love, love to work at a woman's consignment shop! So I told her that *crossing fingers I get in sooner or later* I left her my business card and looked right at her and said "I would be good at this job and I'd love to work here"! :) She's small but I know she has 2 employees~ so you never know? This week I also applied for a job at a candy shop. Cool huh...face my fears head on! LOL ~Fat girl living in a skinny body get's job in chocolate store. PERFECT! I'd love spending my day around chocolate and candy all day. Better than standing as a checker all day at Wal mart. Needless to say...still looking for more work, more money.

Friday I'm going to get a eye exam at Costco. But this time it's different. I'm buying glasses. I've bought contacts before and only had to wear them when working with paper at work. At home I wear dollar store glasses, not contacts. Now it's to the point I can't see shit anymore. So I find myself walking around places wearing these stupid funky dollar store glasses looking like a goober in public with these crazy glasses. I have glasses with lady bugs, blue ones, purple ones, pink ones. Fine for home but not in public. There every where in my house because I'm blind! So I guess I just admitted by making the appt. that I'm old and blind and going to buy glasses for everyday life. Can't wait to see again. :) This should be fun...I've never picked out glasses for my face. Hm My hubby keeps telling me it's a bitch after you turn 40. I told him "i feel better @ 41 than i did @ 20... im just blind"! so there! LOL He's poking fun at me cause I'm about to turn 42. It's all good~Life only get's better!

Other than that I don't know much I guess. It's raining, I know that &...blah

Just thought I'd check in & saying HEY I'm here.

...hey!
