Mom, Can I Give You A Makeover?

So I am headed off to Wal-Mart tonight, and I turn and do my habitual "anything else I need to get at Wal-Mart?" yell. My daughter looks at me and says, "mom, can you get me some makeup? I can give you dollars to pick it up for me!" I stare at her a second. Is this my little girl? The one who loves bugs, beetles, dinosaurs, bats, and snakes? I have longed for this day...where she is finally a little girl. A day where she wants what other girls her age wanted years before. I love it. I smile and tell her that I don't need her money but will see if I could find some cool makeup for her! Maybe it is all those Sunday mornings when she is hangin' out with Adelyn! After all, Adelyn definitely has her own style, and is very much a girlie girl (loved that camo dress with the black tights she had on this morning). She reminds me of a young Amy Lee, the lead singer of Evanescence (totally a compliment, if you were wondering).

I left. Shopped. Returned from the Mart with tons of bags in tow. Valerie was the first to pop out to help bring in the groceries. She searched each bag until she found the blue heart box that contained her very own blue shaded makeup kit. She was thrilled. Needless to say, she had herself primped up in about 5 minutes, and was begging to give me a makeover. I agreed. The result took me straight back to the 80's! We giggled. Tried to take some pictures (sorry, didn't turn out), and giggled some more. I enjoyed my first Valerie makeover and am sure there are more to come. I thought of other things that need a makeover in my life. Here is my "makeover" list (to satisfy the thirst of all the obsessed list makers out there) of things happening in my own life.

1. Received a girlie makeover from Valerie today
2. My finances are getting a complete makeover in about a week
3. My Spiritual life is in need of a makeover. Devotions, prayer, tithing etc.
4. My church membership is getting a makeover-from Second to Journey (already signed the covenant, just have to turn it in).
5. My daily schedule is getting a makeover this week-days to myself. What will I do?
6. I am getting a pedicure, manicure, and a massage next week. A makeover sure to please!
7. My days of orientation at work are dwindling, and I will makeover a new schedule. Self scheduling is sure to please everyone.
8. My eating habits are getting a complete makeover.
9. My exercising habits are getting a complete makeover (oh, that's right I have to start the habit to have it madeover, right?).
10. My school lunches are getting a creative makeover.
