Roller Coaster

What a roller coaster my day has been.

I woke up with Happy by Pharrell Williams playing in my head.

I made a few phone calls and then headed up into town. Picked up three comfortis pills for the pups. The fleas have been horrible this winter.  I thought they were supposed to DIE in the cold. UGH.  Then I hit up PetSmart for a new perch. Then off to Target to walk and browse. Target has a large portion of TV's on sale and cartwheel has an extra 10% off this week. Hubby has been begging for a larger TV for years. I feel like we have already blown the roof fund by the time all the little purchases have been tallied. (Vet for Buddy and finally paying Peter off after a year of robbing him) I caved and got hubby a new TV. I am pleased with the deal I was able to score on it with the sale and cartwheel app.

I took his new baby home and was here for two hours when the urge hit to go my hair done did hit. I have been wanting to for a few weeks now. I printed my coupon for the current Ulta sale and headed into town. I hate spending that much for a wash and cut but I was very happy with my last hair cut which I got there. They had no room for a walk in. Poo! So I used my coupon and got their version of the Clarasonic. Since I spent over $19.50 I got the free gift. My justification was that I will throw out some of my older stuff. (Am I the only one that has a hard time parting with makeup? I don't wear it that often so I hate tossing it)

I then went to Walmart and I felt almost frantic with the want of a haircut.

 I told myself to CHILL OUT! That there was obviously something else going on and I needed to figure it out. I could have made it into the Walmart salon but I knew I probably wouldn't like it so I should just wait. I them walked around the store and decided I needed help. Help in figuring out what the hell was going on with me.  Was it Buddy? What it something else? I texted cousin Jewel (She has her own blog now! Hit her up) for help. Just after I sent the 2nd text to her Sending Out An SOS by The Police played in the store. Made me giggle a little.

I finally realized I was looking for happiness at Walmart. I had no desire to look for it in food which is a good thing. I wandered up and down many isles and in the end only ended up with a few things. Before I left I wandered through produce and as I walked by the cabbage and decided to get some it hit me. Jennifer  I had been thinking about her off and on a lot this month- especially with Buddy so near to the dates . My best GF died unexpectedly on February 14, 2006. She had a two year old girl and four day old twin baby girls. (Husband is a butt and her mom has custody of the 3 girls) I try and call her Mom on her b-day and her death date every year. I missed her b-day in August. I thought about her but just couldn't bring myself to call her mom the next day as I missed her actual b-day date. Then I totally forgot about calling on Valentine's Day with work and hubby spending the night out (will elaborate on that next post-all is fine) The reason the cabbage set me off is it is a food memory shared only with her. (Boiled cabbage in salted water) I bought a head of cabbage and will be eating that tomorrow after I call her mommy. Once I identified the issue I was having I felt so much lighter.

Speaking up that ticker is heading back down. I am happy with that weigh in being the time of month that it is. :)

I also had an epiphany while walking to the car. More on that tomorrow though. It is late and I have to be up in 4.5 hours.
