Stone Soup by Jan Eliot for May 08, 2013

Time for Rena to recognise how lucky she is.

Good one!

Not very thoughtful to get pizza without asking if there were other plans.

Is it just me and my limited experience with hair coloring, or does that look more like she’s doing a perm?

At least Rena won’t spend another night alone.

Pizza and salad is a nice combo.

Hoorray for Pizza…!!Especially for Classic Pepperoni & Cheese Pizza…!

it could be she’s doing highlights. but in the meantime…clearly, she does this on a regular basis, but isn’t her hair just white?

This will be a great night to hang out with the family!

The grass always looks greener, no matter what side you’re on. The key is figuring out what makes YOU happy. If you’re happy being single, then embrace it. If you love having children, enjoy it as well. Don’t worry what the others are doing or think that the other groups are having more fun than you are.

I’m wondering if a phrase in there relates to an LDS principle…

Welcome to Wednesday night at my house!!!

When I coloured my hair at home I didn’t wrap it in a towel, I just put the gunk on and waited 20 minutes, then took my shower and washed it out. As for the family home evening (yeah that is a Mormon thing) they would’ve needed to know ahead of time she was inviting someone so to plan what to fix and stuff. I don’t do well with spur of the moment surprises like this, that’s part of having OCD.

I really doubt that this family is LDS. It is more common to see a Southern Baptist out drinking, than to see a Mormon woman out drinking.

Home cooked meal with plenty for possible guests when she gets home from work two hundred workdays in a row and when does she invite the guest? Day 201 when Eva took the night off, of course.

Agreed Evie.

Real friends are the ones you don’t have to be anyone but yourself with.

you don’t use strip for coloring hair, you use those for perming it.

However, would anyone in her right mind bring home company without first checking with whoever was responsible for planning meals?

Mmm…Albino pizza…

I like my color, but if he wanted me to color it, I would. He thinks he needs to look younger for customer confidence (he still runs his own HVAC business) at our age. For me, here there is no more work of the type that I do, and I don’t need it badly enough to go outside my house for less than a 1/4 of former earnings.
