Our Halloween decorations include a plastic skeleton head and hands that we jam into the overgrown ivy in our front yard. The trick-or-treaters love it. WM loves it too and this year asked if we could leave it out and…
The AARP strikes again.
Eleven years ago when I was still in my 30s, I received an AARP card in the mail . Thursday I received a “thank you for joining” email to the account I use for retail receipts. And then yesterday, this……
Fractured Fairy Tales
Woof. Finally the nonbloggable becomes bloggable – Mom (aka A-Woww) tripped and fell 2 weeks ago, fracturing her kneecap and shattering her elbow. The knee will heal on its own in an immobilizer which thankfully allows her to walk. The…
What's new?
Been a while, eh? I was reminded I had a blog by Google Webmaster tools. I don’t check my pageviews anymore, but it helpfully let me know my database was inaccessible a few days ago. I tweaked a few settings…
Alpha
Max is doing surprisingly well. I say this because just a week ago, we were having the “Quality of Life” discussion, as barely moved for three days and we were carrying him outside to do his business. This post was…
Forty-two years of me!
I did this for the pets this year so I had to humiliate myself in the same way, right? So yeah. Forty-two, aka my twenty-first (times two) birthday. That makes me a senior citizen in Internet years, doesn’t it? Today…

Will you still need me, will you still feed me…
Dear 2003-era diary, What a week it’s been. I was sad because a coworker left. Then I was snubbed by someone. Pretty obviously, too. And then there was a presentation at work put on by our outgoing group of college…
The Blues
I. Am. So. Blue. Why? Here’s the list: 1) My feet hurt, but only after extended periods of being off of them. Such as in the mornings when I wake up or … every time I get up at work,…
Five years away from always having my right blinker on
Of all the things I miss about being younger, number one will always be the ability to wear trashy heels without feeling mangled after an hour. Number two is the confidence I used to have while driving. Today I had…
A lady looks at 40
I started this blog when I was 30. Today I turn 40. (zomg!) Forty laughs harder than thirty. Forty is rounder than thirty. Forty is so very much wiser than thirty. And forty is happier than thirty. Today my coworkers…
