Mertyl was not happy. In fact, she was close to reaching the true depths of despair.You might think that everything is fine, everything is dandy. Afterall, that perfectly coifed hair and brazen red lipstick are admirable attempts at giving the appearance that all is well.
But I talked to Mertyl today at the Garden Club luncheon, and she admitted that things have gotten to be just too much.
When Smitty's Drug & Thrift put nail laquer on sale for just 15 cents a bottle, Mertyl fell victim to a thrify shoppers demise. Determined to use every bottle, she alternates between color application and color removal every 45 minutes.
"This has got to stop," she laments. But how?

Hey Salihah,
This is such a cute site! I'm so impressed with your blogging abilities! :-) I have so much to learn!
I think your hobby of vintage domestic wife images is so fun! I had a few picture I found over the years that just make me laugh out loud!
THANK GOODNESS I wasn't born in that era! OMG I would not have survived! Can you imagine wearing high heels and pearls to do the dishes? LOL!

"Can you imagine wearing high heels and pearls to do the dishes? LOL!"
LOL! No, I couldn't even DREAM of doing that! I don't even wear heels when I go out, lol! ; )
I love your blogs, too. I added your Art of Intimacy to my links page on my regular blog. You have beautiful words.
Peace Jennifer!

Hi Salihah,
I've been trying for two weeks to figure out how to change the header and sides of my blogs and am soooooooo stuck. Do you have any suggestion? Both your blogs are examples of what I want to do with mine. I want the sides a different color and I want a custome header. I'm so frustrated I can hardly function! :-) Do you have someone custome design your blogs or is there some resource on how to do this? I deeply thank you for any help you could give me...
Blessings,
Jennifer
