Splish! Splash!

I have new rubber boots. They are orange-coloured. They bring me childish joy! I can't wait for it to rain.

Changeable

Some days I am an old lady with a handkerchief in her purse patiently waiting for the bus. Other days, I am fleet of foot with a scarf around my neck, my ipod in place striding on in my ipaths.

Manners

"Excuse me," or the more correct "excuse me please" is a request not a warning , don't you agree?

Is time running out?

Last week I had three people either ask me if I was retired or, inquire when I will retire.

I find this distressing.

Almost as distressing as when I was taking college course and someone asked what course I taught.

Easy Rider

My friend Karen has a new bike, a big bike. A Honda 750-I think.
I have never wanted a bike, not even to ride on the back.

I am envious.

I am envious of her joy. I hear it in her voice, I see it in her eyes. THAT, I want.

Butterflies in my tummy!

I have been on Weight Watchers for one week. Tonight is my second weigh in. It hasn't been hard food wise but it has been concious-ness wise.
Have I fooled myself?
Even a little weight off will be a reward but oh! to be one of the rare few who have a big loss at the beginning. I could really use that boost.
