I know I just bitched and moaned about how being just a bit taller than average is a pain in the ass; but our trip to Bellevue showed me how those extra inches can be a blessing. The bed in our hotel room was so fucking high! Sitting on the edge, my feet did not…
I’ve been in Bellevue, Washington. My husband was attending an ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers) conference, and I tagged along. As usual, the weather in the Seattle area was gorgeous. All the locals told me that this weather is not usual. Uh-huh. That is what they always say, and yet, every time I have…
Getting ready for a trip. One of my least favorite things to do. Especially when we’re flying. When we’re driving, I can bring anything that will fit in the car, whether I’ll need it or not. So now the fun begins. What do I need to bring? What do I want to bring? What will…
I don’t like wearing bras much. However, not wearing a bra is going to be uncomfortable for me (and probably others, but fuck them). I got big old saggy fat lady boobies. Sad to say, I have always had big old saggy fat lady boobies – even as a sweet young thing (as the picture…
My dear husband owns (and drives) an old car – 1983 Toyota Corolla, which he loves dearly. This is not a pristine vehicle. It has been well-used and well-loved for 30+ years. However, the engine runs just fine. So, we live in California, so it is time to smog the vehicle. When he takes his…
From time to time, I add chia seeds to my food. Yes, the seeds from those clay novelty items sometimes referred to as “Chia Pets”. No, I don’t buy the novelty items. I buy the seeds. You can get them from many sources. I get mine from Puritan’s Pride and I only get their brand.…
Get your mind out of the gutter. (If it wasn’t there, I’ll give you a moment to realize why I think your mind is in the gutter, and then for you to climb back out of it. And if your mind still doesn’t go to the gutter, are you sure you’re old enough to be…
My head has turned into a snot machine; and I don’t even have bad allergies – just the mildly unpleasant kind. I keeping seeing FB posts about people being laid out with allergies and I should be (and I suppose I am) grateful that mine aren’t like that; but still, how much snot can one…
So today is my dear husband’s birthday. He said something about it yesterday, which reminded me, and always being the first to point out my own d’oh – I admitted I had totally forgotten and what would he like for his birthday that could be arranged/obtained in less than 24 hours. Mind you, I did…
My husband and I will never be accused of being trend setters or living on the cutting edge of cool. We’re not even living on the dull edge of tepid. We recently watched the remake of Freaky Friday with Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Curtis. I have heard Lindsay Lohan’s performance in Freaky Friday referenced as…
