We all can hazard a guess on what an adolescent male is doing when he is in the bathroom for an inordinate amount of time. But what about fat old ladies? In particular, this fat old lady. Well, I’ll tell you, how long I am in the bathroom depends on just how hard the…
(did somebody say hair cut?) Our “middle” cat, Oliver is a big gray mound of fluff. Ollie’s momma was a feral cat and his early kittenhood apparently left him convinced that humans are, for the most part, scary creatures bent on killing him, or at least causing grieveous bodily injury. He has adjusted to me…
Just for the record, this fat old lady does not love hot weather. I hate it. With cold weather, you can always put something on; however, you can only take so much off. But I find the valves on my French Horn work much better with the hot weather. Go figure. I guess it makes…
Well shit. This is what I get for trying to tough out my knee pain once the cortisone shot started to wear off. As I’ve written before, I have fat old lady knee (actually, knees – but only one really pains me), but back in March I got a cortisone shot in the knee (God…
BLUE DAMMIT! My passport expired. They do that after ten years. So I get the application (available online), fill it out, go to CVS and get my picture took, write the check and send the whole thing (along with my expired passport) off to the State Department. My husband sent his in at the same…

I have learned that when you drive from San Jose to Los Angeles (and back), you do so one asshole at a time. And as my dear husband points out, there’s always more assholes. Here are the most common assholes you will find on this drive (keeping in mind most of the way is 2…
This is Stella – Go ahead – touch my belly – you know you want to. As you may know, many (if not most) cats do not like their belly touched. You may even have the scars to prove it. Cats take particular glee in this. They will roll over exposing that soft soft fluffy…
A number of years ago, a friend was telling us how she fell and couldn’t get up. Yeah – just like the old commercial. Actually, she was able to eventually get to her bed and was able to leverage herself upright, but it was very scary for her. Now I know how she felt –…
I went to Costco yesterday. I love Costco. I love Costco because it is known for treating its employees fairly. That means a lot to me. Of course, the great deals you get there doesn’t hurt either. I won’t shop at Walmart because I have personally known people who work for Walmart and what they…
