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.
I totally agree on Rush. And I LMAO on the Cubs game comment! Have a great day...
ReplyDeleteYour cockroach answer took me by surprise and I actually laughed out loud. ;-)
ReplyDeleteHope you feel much better soon! Lots and lots of rest. Oh, and water. And chicken soup.
I totally agree on Rush. Just why??? Feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteThis was a cute one, and man am I glad I don't have CNN then! I mean, she sure could sing, but it's sad it's a story just because she is frumpy.
ReplyDeleteIt was Sunday Stealing for me too! :) I'm back to cadging your stuff.
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better soon and I'm with you on the Rush hate. Putrid is a perfect word for him!
