So many empty nest realizations of life this week, they just kept piling up like the snow did. One right after the other. Piled up thigh high. #1 - We had the tax preparer call us to say, "Take the standard deductions now, no children with the school expenses to deduct. You're not even close… Continue reading Suck it up – it’s a snow job, just return the bikini

Letting my quirk out one post at a time.
Has the right bikini made it over the hill yet?
Are you ever going to put a cap on it? Swimsuit spending is getting out of control? It's getting boring too, trying to find the right one. Don't yawn, pretty please, don't.

I love the 4 seasons, yes, I do, but this winter, has been an icy nightmare - we even had to open the windows to chop icicles. My hero to the rescue. And, I gotta tell ya, I'm sick of being stuck in a snow globe that keeps relentlessly reproducing snow piles beyond those we've… Continue reading How I convinced myself there are 4 seasons
A slow growing fear
I did it! Mr. is going to be so impressed with my efforts. I crawled out of bed before him and Copper. Lazy men, right? Nah, I couldn't sleep so I woke up at 4:15 am. I'm having slow-growing nightmares about the damn bikini and other things. But that's beside the point. Then I took… Continue reading A slow growing fear
