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.

Birthday Boy!
Today is my nephew's 9th birthday. I took the day off so I can be at his house when he gets home from school. I am very excited about seeing him with his gifts -- these remote-controlled "Karts." Mario and Yoshi are each about a foot tall, so you can imagine the size of the box. He's still at the age where he's wowed by the size of the gift, as well as the contents, so I think he'll be very excited.
He's a new Cub fan, though, so I must suck it up and put on a happier face for when we talk about last night's game. We must keep the faith!
Wow, once again, you get the "Aunt of the Year Award" - that must put you into the year - oh, let's say - 2011 !!

ReplyDeleteThose look like some great presents, and how nice of you to deliver them in person. I hope you and your nephew had a good time today.
ReplyDeleteI also just tagged you for a non-partisan "Don't Vote" meme, which actually encourages people to register and vote. The accompanying video is very funny. See the post at my site.
I hope you'll consider it for your blog so we can get people out there to vote, regardless of their politics. :) - BookMama
