Summer HOLY HELL!!!


I know most people do not agree with me but SUMMER IS HOT!! And not in a good way.  We just found out we will be opening soon for appointments only.  Great news but now I have to dress ‘normal’.  My yoga pants and baggy shirts are going to feel neglected (kind of like my couch when we were allowed to leave the house again.). 🛋🛋🧘‍♀️🧘‍♀️🥵🥵 

Soooo. I have been looking for items that will “hold in” some of the things that are no longer where they should be.  THANK you all who gave me suggestions for sports bra’s by the way.  I have a couple ordered and I am trying a new one out that I found.  It was very comical to watch Scott’s face as people stopped me at the grocery store and at the golf course with suggestions on the best bra’s to buy.  ðŸ¤ªðŸ¤ªðŸ¤ª.  Guess we all know who DOESN’T read my blog.  ðŸ¤¬ðŸ¤¬ðŸ¤”🤔🤔

Anywho...  Back to my ‘items’.   Found some great under garments (or big old underwear as we call them in these parts.).  Decided to try some different companies and here is what I found:

- If you order the size you think you wear, prepare not to breath that day.   They help hold things in and also make you not able to eat for the day so I think that’s part of the plan.  If you do eat, look out!!  No room for extra’s.   

- Wearing them golfing on a hot day is a whole other story.   They help make your golf outfit look better because your stomach isn’t riding in the cart next to you but using the restroom is an experience in itself.  Picture this,  you are already sweating profusely and have been waiting 6 holes and 4 beers to pee because “you don’t want to break the seal”.  So it is no longer optional.  You HAVE TO GO!!!  AND NOW!!!!  Well, these “panties” are up to your boobs and by now melted into your skin.  You are pushing and pulling in a small stall with no air conditioning and probably holding up every golfer behind you.  You finally get them down and wooooooo relief!!  All better UNTIL you try to pull them back up.  I actually broke a nail while wiggling my way into them.  When I left the restroom I was sweating so bad I looked like I just run a marathon.  On a positive note, I got an additional 500 steps on my Fitbit for the effort!!!!

- I ordered a pair of “shorts” to wear with long shirts.  In my mind, I looked so cute.  Got them in the mail, held them up, and had to look twice at the packaging.  They looked like they belonged to a 4 year old.   (Haven’t tried them on yet because I am afraid I will get stuck and need medical attention.)

 - I have been wearing sneakers to work everyday to help keep the Kankle to a normal size (see previous blog about hosiery 🧦🧦🧦). So not only am I looking to get into my summer dresses, I need ‘normal’ shoes to wear again.   My feet hurt just thinking about it.  Remember the good old days when we could wear any shoes we wanted and they looked amazing and your corns didn’t scream at you all day long.......  those were the times!!! 👠👠👠👡👢👢👢

So, I guess my “new normal” may be potato sacks with a dressy belt made of garden hose,  geriatric socks to my knees that are a wonderful taupe color, and moon boots to match!!  How is that for a picture?  Actually sounds very comfy to me!!!!

 Happy Heat Stroke ALL!!  I mean, Happy 4th of July ALL!!!!

Where the F^*@ did summer go??

  As I am writing this it is almost the end of August and we are taking our home on wheels camping.  This is our 3rd time out (can’t count the countless hours I sat in the driveway in it because I needed  a vacation.) Our first outing was to a country music fest in Karlstad MN.  Appropriately called Kickin Up Kountry.   We went with siblings and outlaws and had a blast.  Naturally we pull up and the camper RIGHT NEXT DOOR is a classmate of mine from high school and his wife.  What are the odds.   AND It was hot out so we all know I was a sweaty mess for 3 days.   You know it’s bad when I wear a cowboy hat AND a t-shirt at the same time.  With an umbrella and a fan.   So not my fashion statement but I plan on wearing it again next year!!!   Saw my first Baja races and more men in bib shorts and cowboy boots than I care to count.  Working on Scott’s wardrobe for next year.😄😀 Our second outing was a staycation.   We camped in our hometown park.  It was so fun.  We couldn’t go home no ma

  OMG.  I can't believe it's June already.  The older I get the faster time goes and the less I seem to do. Sleeping has become one of my favorite pastimes and some nights are better than others. The other morning I had my alarm set really early because I had a meeting and needed to be ON TIME!!  Hate when that happens but that's a whole other rant.  People that show up for appts anywhere from 15 to 45 minutes early….  Not going there. So, my alarm goes off and I don’t want to wake up Scott that early.  I usually turn it off right away, hop out of bed with a smile on my face singing a song but this day I couldn't do it.   My arm was completely numb.  So I flop over and try to grab my phone.  I yank the cord out of the wall and the phone falls under the bed.  I then roll on the floor (literally) to find the phone.  Meanwhile my right arm is somewhere else and I can't find it.   By this time my alarm is getting LOUDER AND LOUDER and I want to shut it off but I need my

Beach Whales and Adorable Dolphins

As I told you in March after my exciting travels to St. Louis, I again got to do some traveling in April.   Scott and I got the opportunity to go to Los Cabos and stay at the Hilton Golf and Beach Resort.  Not going to lie, it was a tough week.    I was nervous about going thinking Scott would get bored easily…..   I was totally wrong.  We were up everyday at 6:30 to get to go and save our chairs by the pool/hot tub/swim up bar.  Then off to breakfast and back to our chairs for my morning “juice”.  My favorite flavors were either strawberry or banana with a tinge of rum.    We met some amazing new friends and one of them showed Scott how to locate the whales that were migrating.  SOOOO, while I sat in my chair sipping my juice and reading, Scott became the “WHALE WHISPERER”.   Kids were all over that.  And adults too.  He would stand in the infinity pool and point to the water.  Not sure there were whales or not but he swears they were out there and his “followers” found them too.   My
