I'm Sorry, You Want to See What?

Lookin' Gooood

I had to buy wine for a committee dinner that will be happening this Thursday and guess what?  I got carded today!  When the wonderfully sweet lady wanted to see my ID I almost jumped across the counter to give her a big fat smack on the lips.  It has been a long time since someone asked to see my ID.  I laughed and told her she was going to make today's blog posting, and she just asked that I not use her name.  I think I embarrassed her a little.  I didn't mean too, I was just so excited.  I know I don't look 21 anymore, but it's nice to know I look a little older than 30.  (all the signs say if you look to be around 30, they will card you)  She said she just wanted to make sure she didn't end up going to jail.  I told her I didn't care about the reason, I'm just glad she asked.

I guess I do look a little
older with my hair fixed &
makeup on
Let the 40 year old be happy for a bit. 

The really funny thing about being carded today is that I had my workout clothes on, no makeup, and my hair had finally dried from being so sweaty.  In the words of National Lampoon's Cousin Eddie:  I was looking goooood.  (luckily I had put some perfume on so I didn't smell bad.) 

You know, I may never get carded again as long as I live, but I did today & it felt great!

Celebrating Life!

    I know what you mean! When I said something to the nurse in the pediatrician's office about turning 40 this year, she said, "No way! I thought you were about 32! I NEVER would have guessed you were almost 40." Made my week!

Hey Mom...You're Hovering!

Helicopter parents just about do me in!  Y'all, I'm getting my soapbox out on this one.  I mean it, they really bother me.  If you're a self-admitted helo parent, you need to read this posting. First off, let me say, I am not a perfect parent.  I am blessed with wonderful children, but I know they didn't get that way by accident.  It's hard work to let your children go & let them learn how to stand on their own two feet.  Their standing starts when they are young & progresses as they get older so when they are about to go to college they are actually semi-responsible young adults. (semi-responsible because they are not completely supporting themselves  yet, and yes there is a HUGE difference!) You may be wondering where this ranting is coming from?  At church 2 Sundays age I had a mom totally wig-out about leaving her child in a room of other 5 years olds.  The child was fine:  she came in & was gett...

Not to brag, but (actually I am bragging here.  FYI, when someone says 'but' in the middle of a sentence, they are oftentimes contradicting themselves.) I have successfully taught three children how to drive.  Today, I begin my fourth and final journey in teaching the art of driving.  Don't kid  yourself, driving is an art.  Have you seen how half the people drive on the road?  Some of them need a few more lessons.  It's a ready and go kind of day! I used to joke that, with my brother being 7 years younger than I am, my mom just threw him the keys and made him teach himself how to drive.  Henry is 7 years younger than Hopson, and  I've been looking forward to having a chauffeur since Elizabeth turned 16.  I always have to drive everyone everywhere, so I'll be happy to sit, observe and teach from the passenger's side.  (Hopson is turning into his dad & likes me to drive him as well.)  Now I don't have to go to the groc...

Well Good for Fair Fanny Petro

This is one of favorite sayings from the movie, The Help.  The way Skeeter says it with just the right touch of 'I don't give a flying monkey's behind' is perfect...I.mean.PERFECT.  And you have to say it like  you are from 1960's deep south.  Which means you don't really pronounce your r's.  Here's the clip from youtube. This is a saying I'll say sometimes if somebody is talking about something I don't give two shakes about.  I thought it just a few hours ago as I was listening to the radio.  But to back up just a bit so you know why I said it... ...The older I get the more I don't  understand our fascination with Hollywood stars, musicians, and people who play collegiate/professional sports.  Most of them are not worth our time of day.  There is a large portion of them that are just, well, trash.  If they were living in your community, and were just a plain Jane normal person, you probably wouldn't have anything to do with t...
