Old Fart

-

Things today that made me feel old:
  1. I received a text at 6:30pm for an invite over to some friend's house for martinis and a bonfire. I said no - I still had to take a shower and by then it would be too late.
  2. When I attempted to shave my armpits, I couldn't see them. They live too close to my face and can't be moved forward and backward like a menu.
  3. I worked in the yard all afternoon. And now I need a case of IcyHot.
  4. I opened a bottle of red wine instead of a beer.
  5. I'm really looking forward to going to bed.

I hear ya! It's never worse than when our still single friends come to town and are like, "Come on! It's only 9! Let's get something to eat and grab some drinks!" And I'm thinking, like some cookies and a big glass of water with which to wash down my Women's One-a-Day and a 800mg Ibuprofen? Yeah, Party People!

Your day sounds fabulous, anyway!
Yardwork + wine + shaved armpits = not do bad.

I hear you! We originally made plans to go to drive-in movies with friends last night, for a double feature that started at 8:30. This was going to be after sitting in our church booth at Pride all day. By the time we finished with dinner (out b/c we were too tired to think about cooking) all we could think about was putting on pajamas and watching TV. We called to cancel, and found out that our friends were already napping and also too tired to go! We were in bed by 8:30!

Friday night I did the same as you and declined a late invite to go out. I would need to shower and iron clothes. - Saturday night, at a friend's house, I had 3 cocktails and decided it was too dark and I was a teeny bit too tipsy to drive home, so I just stayed over. - This would never have been the case when I was younger.

Hey Windy! Lol at the one-a-day comment. I'm hoping for a little more energy this weekend.

Hey Solo - What? I've seen your vlogs and you look like you are raring to go lady.

Thank you Amy! I'd look better if I wasn't getting up at 4:30 for work.

Hello Lilli - It was a good day. And a better night since I got to fall asleep on the couch.

Hey Lesbo - Yes, I cleaned up the yard and my pits, lol.

Hi Pixie! You and your friends sound like my kind of friends! Don't you love hanging in your jammies watching TV? I know I do.

Hi Chewy - Good move staying over. Better to be safe. You will have to come over to the Wet Spot this summer for cocktails -we can start early so you won't have to worry about driving in the dark :)

I like how you think Ms. Creek!

Hey Blondie,

It was one hour before turning into a pumpkin in Wilbraham dark.

cj,
Hanging at the Wet Spot... do you skinny dip during the day or under the cover of darkness? (wink)

I usually skinny dip in the evening Chewy, since I don't want to scare the neighbors. But if you feed me enough martinis, I would certainly consider a daytime dipping.

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

Things For Which To Be Thankful

My two nieces have had some health issues lately. First E was admitted to the hospital with severe abdominal pain. She ended up with a five day stay. Then my other niece S spent twelve hours in the ER due to a pain in her side (no, it wasn't me). Not feeling up to par can really bring you down. So I am sending them both some well wishes here today and hopefully convincing them that there are worse things in life. There is 80's hair: Oh, and a couple of more things to add to the list: red shag carpet and wrist corsages. Rock me like a hurricane girls, but you sure are pretty in pink (and black). Hey - didn't you have a cat that got lost at one point. I think I see it. ADDENDUM - THOSE PICTURES ARE NOT OF ME. SORRY FOR THE CONFUSION. TO BE FAIR, I HAVE POSTED MY 80'S PIC BELOW:
