What’s Up

Two things

#1 – Today’s date is a palindrome. I understand it only happens twelve times in a century; I haven’t actually given it a single second’s thought to confirm that. Anyway…01/02/2010. #2 – It’s very, very good to be home!

Christmas, parts 1 and A

We travel during the holidays. Always. Being the childless couple, there’s never been any question of whether or not we’d be traveling to our various families’ homes for the holidays, only which one we go to first. For 23 years now. Both my parents are gone now (just FYI, my father died New Years Day, […]

Yes, I know how long it’s been

Anyway…. I think the back of my neck is aging faster than the rest of me. Not because the skin is crepier (that’s crepey-er, looking more like crepe) than everywhere else, though I wouldn’t be surprised if it were (I really haven’t looked lately). But because it’s always cold. I have to wear high collars […]

Stars make a happy birthday!

It’s my birthday (why, thank you), and the fabulous Rich took me (or agreed to go with me, which is pretty much the same thing) to the Dallas Stars’ practice and scrimmage this morning. The practices and scrimmages are open to the public all week (maybe all the time, I don’t really know), and there […]

Shingles and nothing to do with a roof

Don’t feel like blogging. Have shingles. Ouch. (There won’t be any photos with this post. Really.) My sister has them, too. We’ve neither one of us had them before, and we were together last weekend. Shingles are impossible to ‘catch,’ so it’s just a bizarre coincidence, but still very, very odd. And…ouch. Actually I’ve revived […]

Bananas

Bananas

Net-Not (or Not-Net; I still haven’t decided) was fun this morning. Somehow we started talking about bananas. It turns out that everybody has their own idea of when a banana is perfect for eating, and everybody’s idea is different. Dorothy thinks they should kind of crunch when you bite them. Barry and Linda both like […]

Best idea ever

Okay, maybe not ever, but still really, really good. Rich and I somehow end up with a ton of those canvas totes, from various conventions and business connections. And, of course, I have all kinds of little dribs and drabs of fabric lying around. I can’t wait to try it! From Betz White, tweeted by […]

Too good not to share

Rich and I were driving along today and noticed a bumper sticker. He investigated and found the website: As a survivor, I wholeheartedly agree and approve!

At least it's not Elvis

At least it’s not Elvis

I’m not someone who tends to notice the Virgin Mary on a tortilla or Michael Jackson’s face in the bark of a tree, but I really couldn’t miss this. I heart Lays!

Bad Jokes

Bad Jokes

I’m not sure how smart it is but, really, I can’t deny who I am. I just redesigned my business website and included a Bad Joke of the day. I have enough of them gathered to last through the end of December. (Yes, really.) I don’t know what I’m going to do then. Maybe I […]
