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.

Reality is still soooo overrated
Today I'm just so sick of real life! Everyone at work was annoying. The weather sucks (chilly and rainy). The Cubs are off. The Republicans are dominating the airwaves, and they annoy me, too. What I need tonight is an escape from reality, a safe and familiar place to retreat to, while I curl up in a ball on the couch. What I need is …
That Girl!
The Season Four DVD set just arrived and the timing ideal. I am having a silly, tranquil time, watching Ann Marie's wacky career-girl adventures, whimsical and sweet relationship with Donald, and impossibly expansive wardrobe. I loved this show when I was in grade school, and it's wonderful to get reacquainted with it.
boy do i know what you mean when everyone is so damn annoying. real life can be a real pain.
ReplyDeleteyou brought back memories of how much I loved 'that girl' too. I had a crush on Donald! Wonder what ever happened to him?
remember the episode where she got her big toe caught in the tub faucet?? haha
Every time we took our son up to school we would pass Brewster Ny and I would think ..THAt girl grew up there!
I didn't know Brewster was a real town! How cool! I would have thought the same thing if I passed it.
ReplyDeleteI loved that show! In fact, I had a relationship with a guy named Donald and called him "Hollinger" and he called me "Ann Marie" (yeah, goofy, I know). We still talk sometimes and still go by those names.
ReplyDeleteGreat show. Didn't we all want to be like Marlo Thomas?
