Here we go again

 



So....  As some you may remember, I started this blog a year ago after a weekend away with my grade school/middle school/high school posse.  I cannot believe it’s been a year.  Before I tell you about our latest escapades, I need to thank them for encouraging me to share the things that happen in my life.  I love writing and hope you enjoy reading them.


After having to cancel in November, we finally were able to get together and plan a weekend.  There may be different sides to each story BUT I will tell you how I saw things (and since it’s my blog, it’s the whole truth🤥🤥)


One of the gals and I show up Friday afternoon and lug all our stuff into the awesome house we rented on a lake.  No one offered to help, no one yelled hello, no one even greeted us at the door.  Talk about anti climatic.  I was kinda expecting a small reception with hooting and hollering and OMG...  You gals are here.   Hmmmm.  Really??  No parade??  No confetti?  What is this???


So as we walk into the living room I see why......  There sits 4 of my classmates in recliners with lap blankets on.  Yes... You heard me right - lap blankets.  Lol 😆🤣.   They actually admitted to getting up and getting a drink so we wouldn’t think they were old.  Sorry girls, didn’t work.  😝




Now I am not sure if any of you have had slumber parties with young women in their “fifties” but conversation is sure different than it used to be.  Half of us are sitting in shorts and tank tops with a fan on us because we are sweating and the other half now has slippers AND lap blankets on.  There starts the conversation on menopause and weight and exercise and kids wrecking out bodies.  



Then we crank up the 80’s music because as you know THERE IS NO OTHER DECADE of greater music.  So we are doing Van Halen jumps that used to be natural and we could actually get some air.  We are playing guitar better than any hair metal band member ever has and we are singing like we own it!!  But instead of glistening and looking ‘hot’ like the girls in the old MTV videos, this now causes bruised feet, peeing in our pants, and picking up uterus parts on the floor.  Great times.  Great conversation.  Great laughs.


All in all it was another wonderful weekend with a group of friends that have been in my life for over 40 years.  I cannot wait to do it again!!!

So. Is wearing a mask our new normal??

Image
  As I get ready to go to the Dr for an appointment I find myself searching for the mask that will match what I am wearing.  REALLY??  I guess that shouldn’t surprise those of you that know me at all.  👸🏼👸🏼 I also ate breakfast before I left and normally would check my teeth and make sure my lipstick is spot on BUT I find myself in the kitchen thinking - WHY?  What does it matter if my lipstick is only on part of my lip?  What does it matter if I have bagel crumbs in my teeth?  NO ONE IS GOING TO SEE ME!!!!  Now don’t get me wrong, my eyes and eye brows are spot on.  But the rest....  whatever?👀💋 Found the right mask for the job and headed down the road.  Did the norm when I got to the clinic.  Mask on, sunglasses off, temperature taken, 20 questions answered, gold star sticker telling me I am good to go.  🎖🎖 Since I drank a larger than average coffee on the way, I have to stop at the ladies litter box quick before...

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 ...

  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 LOU...
