The same age for two years!

I'm having a fun birthday today! It's kind of an odd one because all last year, I figured that I was 56 years old. Well, I wasn't-- I was only 55 but now I'm 56!! I can't decide if that is just a 'blonde' thing to do or a 'senior' thing!! Does this mean that I get to be the same age now, for two... Sign in to see full entry.

OMG is it Wednesday already????

... yes, it is and it has been SUCH a busy week! On top of that, and actually, as a nice lead-in to that-- the rest of the week is going to be much easier... and... (drum roll here...) tomorrow (the 11th) is my BIRTHDAY!!!! Yay, I have reached the ripe old age of 56 without kicking the bucket.... Sign in to see full entry.

Long time (not OLD) friends!!!

I had SO much fun catching up with my home town buddy of more than 45 years! Her older sister is married to my older brother and our families are very much intertwined in such a lovely way (including the wedding I just went to. My friend ('M') and I sat at the wedding and went through tons of... Sign in to see full entry.

I'm back! What did I miss???

Why do people cry at weddings? They are such emotional experiences! It was a beautiful wedding, with some surprises at the reception. One surprise was my older brother. He is usually so quiet but he spoke at the reception, very eloquently. And at the dance, I saw that he can dance! He was the father... Sign in to see full entry.

Can you smell the chlorine???

Being that I am going back to Minnesota in a few days... memories of that time in my life are bombarding me like crazy! One of my very favorite memories is of the Ambassador Motel in Minneapolis... a vacation time in the middle of winter for us- we could go and swim and hang out in warm water to our...

I'm inspried by Maggie Mae and Offy!

... Regarding sisters... I'm due to see my sister this coming Thursday! I can only hope to establish (or re-establish) the very nice connection that sisters are supposed to have. My sister 'cries wolf' a LOT- in fact, she exaggerates so much that I never know what to believe and this exasperates me... Sign in to see full entry.

Road Trip today (by car!)

Today I have to travel north of Los Angeles (by car!) for business, but I'm looking forward to it. I love listening to NPR on the radio, the car is quiet and comfortable, and it's like traveling in my own little bubble. I'm wishing you all a wonderful Monday and to Offy, a wonderful Sunday 2!!!

On the motorcycles today...

My faithful 'Dragon' (my Suzuki Boulevard S83 1400 cc cruiser) now has all new brakes and a new back tire. While riding down the hill to Laguna Beach, I marveled again at the power, the speed, the crispy Fall air rushing past me, the smoothness of the road... Everything smells different this time of...

Friday!!! YAY! What are you going to do this weekend?

It seems like every Friday I find myself saying 'Yippee' and lately, I've begun to pay more attention to how a weekend gets spent. My work life is taking up more and more of my consciousness, but I am enjoying it so much! On the weekend, I need to not think about work stuff- give my brain a break-... Sign in to see full entry.
