Triple Lutz Gone Bad

-

For her next short program performance on the driveway rink, perhaps my sister should attempt an axel jump or camel spin instead.


I must shovel the snow, I insist!
She said as she shook her closed fist.
Not heeding advice,
She slipped on the ice,
And now has a green cast on her wrist.

Dear God:

I would just like to thank you again for allowing me to live in Georgia, where snow and ice are things we only hear about or see once a decade.

Amen.

LOL!

Good thing you're not in Massachusetts today. It started snowing last night and it is still coming down this morning.

You should write that limerick on her cast.

I see grace is a biological trait in your family. Drink more and you may stay upright.

Hey Chewy - That's a great idea. She is having surgery on her wrist today so perhaps this weekend she will need a little diddy to spice up that cast.

Hi Cristina - LOL. Yes, we tend to take a tumble now and again, and that is before any martinis. I love your suggestion and I think it would probably work!

White Cosmo's baby - keep me as "straight" up as I can possibly be. How about a martini w/ Lemoncello, champagne and a premium vodka (that sounds too good and it is way to early in the morning - NOT - to be thinking about a martini).

Now Boarding Rows 1 Through 10. Is There Room For Your Carry On?

Here's an interesting texting typo I created last week: And if airline seats get any smaller, I can see this being an actual problem. Can you imagine? I'm sorry ma'am, but there is no way both of you can seat in one seat. You will have to purchase an additional ticket for "her". What would happen then? Would she want the window or middle seat? That's assuming she would even want to sit next to me. I mean, we are together 24/7 so she may want a little alone time, out in the open air, where she is free of any restraint. And what if she is chatty, flapping her lips the whole time? I'm not a big talker when I travel, preferring instead to bury my head in a magazine so I can take my mind off the flight and enjoy my Ativan. I imagine the conversation going as such: She:  I hate that bike seat at spin class. You have no idea what it's like. Me:  Spin class is only 50 minutes. You can handle it. I bought you padded shorts. Those weren't     ...

Commuting Tips - How to Make The Drive More Fun

Today is Saturday, which means I get a break from driving to my job in Boston. I love what I do and I honestly don't hate my commute. By the end of the week however, I can get fairly tired from the trip. So, in order to stay sharp on my drive, I've adopted the following strategy to make things more fun,interesting and bearable. Talk on the phone. Talk a lot. And don't use your blue-tooth wireless set up either. It's more challenging getting in and out of Boston if you have one hand on the wheel and one up to your ear. Send text messages. Nothing says 'I love you' like a text message sent from a friend while navigating bumper to bumper traffic on the Mass Pike. My preferred technique - look down and type, look up for a quick lane check, back down again to type. Scan the newspaper. No better time to get caught up on the days events than while you are just sitting in your car doing nothing. Take mini-naps. Once you establish a path of travel, throw on the cruise co...
