Can you feel me now?

Getting old SUCKS.    I hate it.

I wonder how it would be to walk through life as one of the beautiful people....  how would that feel?   We see them day in and day out on tv and in movies....  it almost makes you think that is what the world is made up of.... these incredibly beautiful people with dazzling teeth and bodies...   how fucking depressing.

I am not aging well and every day when I wake up and look in the mirror, it slams into me.   

Oh sure, I can take a decent pic, if you have the light just right, and angle my face to the perfect degree, and squint, with a filter on the camera.....  

I'm photoshop age.  UGH

Trivial things

Thank goodness for Trivia.

I signed up for an outing again, and went last night to Trivia night at a local restaurant.  

As usual, when the clock hit 5pm and it was time to leave work, the boring me started her usual littany...  "I'm tired.  You don't know anyone that will be there.   Why do you want to go.    You will revert back to your shy, boring self, sit there feeling out of place..."   yadda yadda yadda.

I went anyway.   I'm a sucker for Trivia games.  And my head is full of useless information anyway.

And once again, I'm glad I went.   The people are always nice, friendly and inspite of my self perceived lack of social finesse, I managed to smile, engage folk in conversation, share a few laughs and had a good time.

Next up.....

Bowling night.   I'm just a thrill a minute, eh?

A long long vacation

It's been so long since I've been at work, it will feel like a new job all over again when I go back.  It's now Day 11 at home.

I'm not complaining, I could quit working with no problem and would, if it wasn't for that no money thing that happens without employment.   

And I do happen to have lucked into a great job, so I really do have no complaints. 

but today is a SNOW DAY!  woot.

And tomorrow might be one too.  :)

Ahh It's another Year

Happy New Year to all.

The holidays were very quiet around here but nice.

I got to Skype with the son in Japan, and see him open his present on his Christmas morning, and then got to see him again on Christmas day here in the States.  It was really nice to be able to see him and not just talk to him on the phone. 

I ended up getting the two sons here beds.  Raise your hands if you already knew I was going to break down and figure out a way.. lol

Since you really should pick out your own bed, I took them shopping the day after Christmas to pick one out.  Nothing fancy, just mattress and box springs, but when you've been sleeping on a futon or twin bed 1/2 your size, a real bed is pretty special. 

New years was even quieter.  I stayed at home and spent some quiet thinking time.   I don't know why I say quiet time, my life is hardly busy or noisy.   Resolutions anyone?

I suppose if I had to make any resolution, it would be to engage life more.  

Cheers~!
