As you may or may not have noticed, I have been obsessing a bit about being 50 years old. It felt OK when it happened, but it’s gotten weirder (for lack of a better word) since. I recently had a doctor’s appointment and two things happened that further enforced the “you are getting old” theme. #1 I got scheduled not… Read more »
Some time ago I stated that I was part of the “only group it’s still OK to put down” and stated that group is the childless by choice. Turns out I was wrong- there are a few other groups that apparently are still fair game, and – lucky me- I’m a part of another one. This group is daughters with… Read more »
I normally write about fun holidays that land on a Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday, but January 17th is “Ditch your Resolution Day”. I typically don’t make resolutions in the first place, so why am I bringing this up? As part of a leadership/ personal development program I am enrolled in at work we are reading Stephen Covey’s best seller “The… Read more »
Well, it finally happened. I turned 50 this past week. People keep asking me how I feel. The answer is I have no idea. I have been low-key dreading this for some time now, but now that it’s actually here I don’t know what I was expecting. I certainly don’t feel like I thought I would when I thought about… Read more »
Recently Pat and I took a trip to California- the Hollywood/ Burbank area of Los Angeles to be exact. And yes, we had a great time even though we managed to be in town during an unusual heat wave- 90+ degrees every day is a little warm for my tastes! People frequently say that California is like another country. And,… Read more »
If you’ve been on the internet for more than 5 minutes you’ve noticed that there is a lot of finger pointing going on between generations. The Baby Boomers ruined the (insert resource here). Millennials are ruining the (insert name here) industry. Gen Z doesn’t understand (insert topic here). If you are observant, you’ll notice that one generation is almost never… Read more »
Several years ago I did a post very similar to this one (hence this one called 10 MORE things). I thought since a lot has happened since then it was high time to do it again! #1 I am a very cheap date. i.e. I cannot hold my booze at all. A couple White Claws and I am under the… Read more »
One the things I discovered while spending so much quality time with my house in 2020 was a few YouTube channels that I still watch, including Mr Max TV and Randy Santel (check them out if you haven’t already). As much as I love writing, and yes, I will continue to do so, I wonder if the occasional vlog post… Read more »
Under the category of “WTF” I managed to destroy the cord for my laptop charger with a vacuum cleaner. There are all kinds of jokes you can,make about this, including my lack of domestic skills. But without my laptop i have to write using my phone or tablet. Thia is virtually impossible for my 40something eyes to do for any… Read more »
There is nothing quite like writer’s block. All week long I have had all kinds of ideas that I was excited to write about. I didn’t jot them down anywhere because they were SO GOOD that there was no way I’d forget. Yet here we are. I’ve been staring at a blinking cursor for WAY longer than I care to… Read more »
