Taking the risk

“Let’s grab a bite to eat,” I said to Nae.  We’d been working hard and deserved a break. “Where do you want to go?” I gave her the look like “duh, where you think?”  We have a favorite place.  It’s … Continue reading →

The rain poured down.  The barrage of drops rustled tree branches and knocked leaves to and fro.  I love the rain.  It gives me an excuse to let my hair do what it does best — cling flatly to my … Continue reading →

Suspicious circumstances

Yesterday I joined two friends for dinner.  We laughed when Laurel shared how she’d met her husband at a production of an amateur play.  She’d turned red and white stripped Dr. Denton’s into a kangaroo costume by wearing them backwards.  … Continue reading →

I know somebody who knows somebody

A long time friend, so long that her name used to be Dee before moving uptown and changing it to the more sophisticated sounding Diana, and I spent some time together over the weekend.  We’d missed our get-together for her birthday a few months … Continue reading →

I have been a very bad girl

Posted on January 25, 2012 by Penny Print This Post Print This Post

I ate ice cream for breakfast, donut(s) at work on Monday, chips for lunch (and dinner), and it got worse.  You are probably thinking I’m eating crazy because of all the long hours I am putting in at work.  Actually, … Continue reading →

Bladder buddies

“We’ve got to stop meeting like this,” I said to Lisa.  We’d run into each other several times lately at the stalls.  She’s expecting a baby; I’m old.  That’s probably all the information you need.  “You take the large stall,” … Continue reading →

Surrounded by super heroes

If you were to meet someone wearing a Pampers diaper on her head or another calling herself Hollowhead, you might not think of them as super heroes.  But I do. Sandie, my stalwart sister-in-law, better known as Captain Underpants, is recovering from … Continue reading →

Wild hairs

If you’re thinking I’m writing this post about cute little bunnies , think again. I’m getting old.  More parts come out at night than stay in.  I’m like a car on its last leg.  I’ve got leaks, and the only … Continue reading →

Short(er) hair club

Posted on January 5, 2012 by Penny Print This Post Print This Post

After I got my hair cut short a couple of weeks ago, one of my friends at work cut hers.  “You inspired me,” she said. “Makes you look ten years younger,” I said.  “That’s what some old geezer told me.” “Thanks,” I … Continue reading →

Old movies, old jokes, old-ish folks

What do you get when you have four half-century-plus (heavy on the plus side) folks sitting at a dining room table?  Soft food, multiple trips to the bathroom, louder conversations, dozing off (and it’s not even dark outside).  Just kidding.  … Continue reading →
