Seven. That is the recommended amount of shirts a woman should have in her closet. Yes, that’s correct. Seven shirts. My co-worker shared this information with me and I was flabbergasted! Now, me being a gal that lives in a state with four seasons, there is no way I’d only have seven shirts in my……

Talking to Yourself
I was chatting away to my husband the other day when I realized he wasn’t paying attention to what I was saying. So, me being a wiseacre, I stopped and said loudly, “Halloooooo!!” He looked surprised and said, “Oh. Were you speaking to me? I thought you were talking to yourself.” Fast forward a few……
Sloucher
According to collinsdictionary.com, the definition of slouch is a drooping or bending forward of the head and shoulders. Or, for an informal definition, a person who is incompetent. For example: when it comes to basketball, she’s no slouch. Now, I admit, I am a sloucher! The first definition. I tend to droop over. When I……
Muffin Top
Today I looked in the mirror and said to myself, I look like crap. I was ready to spiral down the woe is me path, but stopped myself in my tracks. However, not before I thought, I’m not that same young lady I was in my 20’s, 30’s and even 40’s. In good shape, great……
Where Did I Put My….?
The other day, I was filming an Instagram post. I had set my glasses down on the desk because I can’t see up close worth a dickens with my glasses on. Isn’t aging great???? Anyways, I finished filming and walked out of the room. After a minute, I realized I didn’t have my glasses on. ……
Dreams
Ahhh, youth. The frivolous dreams and imagination of childhood. When you’re young, you are so excited about your dreams and all the opportunities out there in the world. Nothing is impossible. Fly to the moon and spread glitter all over it? You bet. Build a real Candyland? Absolutely. Save all the whales, elephants and unicorns?……
Gadgets
Cell phones, TV remotes, and gadgets, oh my! Life as we know it has certainly become easier with all the conveniences gadgets provide. Or has it? As a 50+ year old, I am not a gadget person. I didn’t grow up with it, but I’ve fumbled along and embraced where we are with it. Sometimes,……
A Zit? At My Age?
This morning I was minding my own business, washing my face, when suddenly I noticed…(cue in scary horror movie music) a zit, right smack in the middle of my face! A zit? At my age? On the tip of my nose??? I screamed, (continuing with the horror movie theme here), “Noooooooooo!!!” What the heck?!? A……
The A.M. Shuffle
Woke up, shuffled out of bed. Made a beeline for the head. Sound familiar? If you’re a Beatles fan, then it should (it’s sung to the tune of “A Day in the Life”:) Or does it sound familiar because you FEEL the same way? Me too. And I call it the A.M. Shuffle. Every morning,……
To Color My Fifty Shades of Gray?
To color my fifty shades of gray hair? Or not? That is the question. I’ve been toying with coloring my hair on and off for years. And I can count on one hand the times I’ve had it colored. I don’t deviate from the norm – and always use the same basic blonde color. But,……
