These are the thoughts and observations of me — a woman of a certain age. (Oh, my, God, I'm 65!) I'm single. I'm successful enough (independent, self supporting). I live just outside Chicago, the best city in the world. I'm an aunt and a friend. I feel that voices like mine are rather underrepresented online or in print. So here I am. If my musings resonate with you, please visit my blog again sometime.

This must STOP!
"I speak the truth." (Star Jones on CourtTV)
"they don't walk the walk." (A friend of a friend on her blog.)
I know these 40+ women think it makes them sound legitimate and "street," but it doesn't. It's cliche, it's not age appropriate … and it annoys me.
If you hear and read any middle-aged women who use this phrase, first issue a citation that includes a fine. Next time, take them into custody. PLEASE!
(Ah! I feel better now.)
Friday's Feast #22
Appetizer
Which snack do you like to get when you go to the movies? Snocaps or Raisinettes. (Yum!)
Soup
What year did you start using the internet? 1995 perhaps? AOL was the only game in town.
Salad
What is your first name in Pig Latin? Al-gay
Main Course
Name something you are picky about. My face care. I've learned that the most expensive moisturizers aren't necessarily the best for my skin.
Dessert
Fill in the blanks: I worked out yesterday and I will again today. (Hopefully!)
