The “Duh File” and the “Huh?” File
Apr 30, 2009 - 04:04 pmI have “duh” and “huh?” files on my computer and in them, I stash the oddities I come across that frankly confound me.
I bet you could make some entries, too, eh? It seems that once I passed 40, along with a new and true appreciation for time came an intolerance for people and things that waste that time. I don’t get mad or worked up about it – life’s too short for that. I just put my hand up in a move that mirrors the Supremes singing “STOP! In the name of love…”. Then I move on.
I do love to share them though. And that is why I save them.
Here are my latest additions:
Posted by Jody Lee Wednesday April 22 – The Day American Idol Broke My Heart
Apr 22, 2009 - 09:04 pmIt had nothing to do with the contestants. To be honest, I almost never watch the show. But tonight I was working here at home and nothing else was on and I MUST have background noise in order to accomplish anything, so I turned it on.
Playing Footsie!
Apr 16, 2009 - 11:04 pm
At the risk of sounding typical, I love shoes. I especially love summer shoes. Breaking them out every year about this time is my favorite spring ritual. Granted I am not quite on a par with Carrie Bradshaw when it comes to shoe-love, but still - -
The problem is that my feet are not quite the soft, cute little angelic things they once were (my great-neices are pictured here is it wrong to be envious of a baby? And by the way, how come chubby dimply thighs are cute on HER but…oh, never mind).
Pedicures take time and money, and while I have no problem with indulgences, I’d rather spend the cost of a few pedicures on a new pair of shoes.
So break out the clippers and files and sanders and such - I will do what I must in order to show off my summer shoes. I have, however, found a great shortcut.
The Bathing Suit Perspective
Apr 16, 2009 - 10:04 amAh, swimsuit season approacheth. A chance to flaunt our imperfections and display our physical flaws. Oh, goody.
When I was younger, I spent alot of time worrying about what other people might think when presented with the vision of me in a bathing suit. Now, not so much. Funny how that works out. When I was younger and firmer I fretted more about my appearance than I do now, when - thanks to gravity and too many non-diet sodas - I probably have more to fret over.
This is what is wonderful about passing 40. You get perspective.
Fashion and Fragrance Over 40!
Apr 11, 2009 - 01:04 pmOkay, this is going to be a little girlie, but what can I say. I found some good news in both fashion and fragrance that I wanted to pass on to you, my fellow fabulous forty- and fifty-somethings!
