Running
for the running mate
I
don’t get it. I just don’t get it. Why did he
pick HER when he could have had ME? I’ve got all the
right anatomical parts. If he felt like he had to have a
woman on the ticket, why not me?
According to what I read, not too many qualifications are
needed. And that’s exactly what I’ve got – not too
many qualifications. I have a pair of frameless glasses. I had
them fixed after one of the lenses broke. Frameless
glasses are sometimes not all they are cracked up to be -- just
like Vice Presidential candidates.
Losing
It
My honey has
some excellent qualities, but keeping up with his cell phone is not one of them.
He has misplaced his phone so often that I have lost count of the number of
times.
The other day it happened again. We were in the car heading home after work when
he reached for his phone and it wasn’t there.
"My cell phone is gone!” he exclaimed, as he scrambled
around in his pockets while still trying to drive.
Senior
Discounts
Ever since I hit about 55, I’ve been getting mail from AARP wanting me to
join. No, absolutely not! I have this theory that if I don’t admit
to being old, it will stop the clock from ticking.
Anyhow, I don’t need a card to remind me I’m a senior. Looking in the
mirror is enough.
The
Complaint Department is Open
Everyone
nowadays seems to have something to complain about. They
don’t like politics or politicians and think we would all be
better off without having to hear so much about them, or from
them. They don’t like Obama or they don’t like McCain
or they want to complain about Bush
They don’t like the latest movies, which are not fit to watch,
and they don’t like what’s on TV. And what’s the
deal with DTV and the TV not working any more anyhow?
Olympic
Prodigy
I have been to the
mountain – Mt. Olympia, that is. I have seen the
Olympics. And now I have a dream. My granddaughter
can do that! She could be an Olympian. She is already
almost potty trained, exactly the right age to start
gymnastics training.
A
Dog With No Name
We went
to a breeder and picked her out even before she was old enough to
come home. She was cute, I must admit, really cute.
Before you ask, she is a Shih Tzu, a small frou-frou dog from a
breed originating in China.
Hooked on eBay
I’m so tired I can’t hold my eyes open, but I can’t fall asleep. I might miss
my final bid on eBay. It all started about a week ago when I decided that a turquoise and silver necklace would be a nice accessory to have.
I put “buy turquoise necklace” in a search engine and eventually found myself on
eBay.
To
Do or Not To Do?
In my purse is a piece of paper and on it are eight things to do. Why do people
make “to do” lists anyhow? Does it somehow make me feel more important to have
a list of things to do? Or is it just that my memory is so bad that I will not
be able to remember what to do without a “to do” list?
Since
Starbucks has been in the news lately, I decided to give them another try and do
a bit of field research for a column. I’m not a gourmet coffee person. My idea
of gourmet coffee is buying a cup at Mapco when I stop for gas.
I really don’t understand the Starbucks craze.
