bein’ girly

I am bein’ girly today

meetin’ a friend this morn

we’re going to gab,

chit chat and laugh

while our feet are soaked,

scrubbed and buffed

then our toes

polished in vivid hues

we’ll slip our flip flops on

talk a little more

hug goodbye 

both of us feelin’ lighter

on the inside

after our time together

sharing hearts

over pedicures

two women

bein’ girly

my birthday present

a little early

from a wonderful friend

who insisted

on treatin’

Thank you, Kim!

I. Can’t. Wait.

Will see you soooooon!

Love, 

Janean

a reasonably good day

One of my bestest friends wrote to me this morning and said, “Take care of u…i hope u have a reasonably good day.”
This is my reply…
Dear Friend,
Yes, I plan to have a reasonably good day. 
I am going to try to stay offline, reading what other people wrote, and do some serious writing myself.
For this NaNoWriMo thing I signed up for. 
I sent my sister the memory I wrote, about the night she was born. 
She enjoyed reading it and spoke nice words to me, about what I’d written. 
I can’t handle criticism right now. 
Instead of saying, “Thank you for your opinion, now shove it where the sun don’t shine”, I might just stop writing it.
And I don’t want that to happen.
I want to see it through. 
I’ll have three square meals at au bon pain. 
Or maybe round ones, since I’m all curves and bumps right now. 
I am taking care of me. 
Hot shower. check.
Big, cozy, turquoise shirt with hot pink underneath for Color In My Day. check.
Makeup (because I’m a girl). check.
Laptop for endless hours of entertainment in the hospital. check.
Books for when I’m sick of that. check. 
Cell phone. check.
Hope you have A Reasonably Good Day too.
Or maybe even A Fantabulous One!
Love,
Janean
