I've Got My Home Office Back

Hello.

Of course I only blog sporadically these days, but I had to drop a quick line to say I've got a home office again!

It's 95% complete and when I have it fully, I will post another blog. Pics and all!

And do an update on life and what not :-)

See you soon <3

Guess what I found today!

Hello all!

It's been awhile. As usual been busy with Té Russ Novels! The Russ home stays busy. Lots of things going on...

So I woke up this morning, looked in the mirror and saw some gray in my hair! On closer perusal, I discovered it was merely a loose dog hair from Brutus (who recently had surgery for cancer, but he is doing fine now. He's like a puppy all over again!). I brushed it off, joked with the hubs about how for a split second I thought I'd found my first gray hair.

Fast forward a few hours later, and I'm in the dressing room of a Kohl's store and I look in the mirror again. And see another....gray...hair.

Nearly pressing my face to the mirror, I check again, and see this is longer than my dog's hair. I reach up, give it a small tug, and sure enough....it's an ACTUAL gray hair.

Connected to my head!


I never knew how my reaction would be when I got my first gray hair. I'm not surprised that I got it. I have a friend who has gray already and she's the same age as me.

I wondered how I would feel about it. Would I cry? Would I run out and buy hair dye? Would I feel like I'm now getting old, even though I'm not despite my milestone birthday later this year?

I didn't feel any of that. In fact, I felt...kinda excited to be quite honest. Although, I did joke that my kids are giving me gray hairs lol!

I've been looking at it in the mirror and smiling. Gingerly touching my hair like it's some kind of fragile newborn or something like that. I even rearranged my wild looking hair, so that one strand is prominently standing out.

So, yeah...I got my first gray hair today...and it's just another day...

Now I'm off to go be Mom...

Be Blessed.
