THIS FAT OLD LADY GETS SNOTTY

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…

THIS FAT OLD LADY IS THE WORST WIFE EVER

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…

THIS FAT OLD LADY SAYS ITS FREAKIN’ HORRIBLE

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…

THIS FAT OLD LADY’S OLD AND NEW FRIEND

Yesterday, I had the pure joy of having a long chat with someone who touched my life briefly when I was in elementary school. When I was in 4th grade, my mom and step-father bought a house across town which meant a new school for me (and my sister, but that’s her story). So there…

FAT OLD LADY HITS NEW HIGH IN D’OH

Yesterday, it’s getting close to quitting time when one of the lawyers sends me a dictation – a RUSH. Got to have it NOW. Lawyer’s are like that. So I load up the dictation, connect the USB foot pedal, and grab my pink SkullCandy earbuds. I am ready to rock this thing. Except – OW…

THIS FAT OLD LADY BACKS IT UP

Yesterday, I was supposed to meet this guy who is working on a CD and Showcase to put in some background vocals. I was supposed to be there at 8 p.m. At 8:20 he called to ask where the fuck I was. I was sitting at home in front of my computer without a clue.…

DON’T LEAVE YOUR KID IN THE CAR!

No this is not a fun topic. In San Jose, we have already had one baby killed by its father leaving him in the car all day because Dad forgot to drop the kid off at the babysitters and just went to work, leaving the kid in the backseat all day. (An unanswered question is,…

THIS FAT OLD LADY ATTEMPTS TO BE LEGAL

This is what I get for trying to be “legal”. I’m working on trying to put together a revue. Whether anything will come of it remains to be seen, but it’s guaranteed nothing will come of it if I don’t actually put it together. So I need to put together a list of possible songs…

THIS FAT OLD LADY GETS A LESSON

  Last night I went to see the always darling and lovely Ruth E. Stein in Sister Robert Anne’s Cabaret Class at the Limelighters Theatre in Gilroy, California. For the longest time, I stopped going to see local theater. I didn’t stop because South Bay Community Theater isn’t good – on the contrary. We have…
