A Beautiful Day in Random Oaks

The sun shone today.  I walked around the yard.  LiLou did too.  I went to the grocery store and enjoyed the drive.  Great nieces came over today at different times and played with LiLou.  She enjoyed them.  She's been pretty bored lately. 
I'm looking forward to my trip to Minneapolis, MN.  I ordered some long johns and some boots.
I want a personal image consultant.  I want to look cute, but comfort trumps cute.  I'm a T-shirt blue jean tennis-shoe girl.  Make-up only when necessary.
I resent the fact that men don't have to wear make-up.....  I know, women don't either, BUT.
Today is the 1st birthday of my grandson, Ethan.   80 more to go.
I'm on my out.  Being 50 something is a brand new experience.  I am older now than Barry was when we married.  I thought he was old.  I think I'm old, too.  But these 80 year-olds who ride the gambling bus think I'm so young! 
Sometimes I think nothing matters. Then I think everything matters.
A little bit of smoke in the sky....it's late in the evening...the end of a summer burns upon your skin...it's never too late to cry.....sleep with strangers...show you things that you've never seen....far below the city burns.......  (The Twilight Singers)
