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.

09 August Happiness Challenge -- Day 13
Thursday. Free cookies. My admin always puts cookies outside her cubicle. God bless her. Some days I don't touch them. Some days I need a burst of energy, or to feel like I'm treating myself. Today it's lemon creme, so I took four.
Beautiful day, ugly game
Oh, my poor Cubs! My heroes in blue are on a skid and it makes me so sad. Sunny days like this should be celebrated with hot dogs, cold beer and a victory. Not the spanking we're getting today.
Oh well. We still have time to put together an awesome win streak and leave the Cardinals in the dust by season-end. I just wish there was a slaughter rule, or perhaps euthanasia, so we could put this Phillies game behind us and focus on the future already!
Rockin' with AARP's cover boy
Weird, busy day at work and I have to keep my energy up. So I've declared this SPRINGSTEEN DAY in my office. As I was bopping along (in my deskchair -- I probably look like a hideous dweeb) to a live, bootleg version of "Raise Your Hand," I remembered that the Boss himself is waiting for me at home ... on the dining room table ... as he graces the cover of the new AARP magazine.
Bruce makes me think that 60 is the new 35.
