"No, it's ok, I don't mind."



Word to the wise..... when you hear someone say this.... LOOK AT THEIR FACE. Are their eyes meeting yours, or the ground? Is the corner of their mouth turned upwards, or downwards? FOR HEAVENS SAKE... DID YOU JUST CAUSE THEM TO FURROW THEIR BROW SO THEY LOOK LIKE A VULCAN?


There is a new virus out there I need to tell you about.... cue (errr, is that que?) public service announcement.




********* BULLETIN -- PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT *********


VERY URGENT MESSAGE _ New virus threat has been detected.

A new virus has been identified by the CDC and named as, "CIO", or cluelousnes inconsiderousnous obnoxiouslous. This virus is highly agitated and spreading rapidly.

Symptoms include, but are not limited to:

  • an unnecessary sense of urgency,

  • a demanding attitude with others because you have not adequately planned ahead,

  • a delusional state that causes you to believe that the world revolves around your schedule


Hand washing is necessary, but it may not prevent spread of this disease.

People who are exposed to other people are at risk. People known to be considerate of other people are more susceptible.

Little can be done to ease the symptoms; however, the carrier is at less risk of being annoyed by them as they are often unaware they have been inflicted with the disease.

Professionals are recommending you be inoculated. This can be obtained with a shot of confidence, which will strengthen your vertebrae and help your larynx release words like: "No."

New Year's Resolution


This morning as I started my day, I found thoughts in place of what is usually a thick cloud of humdrum filled fog. My husband would likely call this "morning grump" having deep thoughts a miracle. What the heck does he know? LOL. It's funny that after 22 years of marriage I don't even need to have him present for a martial fight anymore. I wonder if he knows I won this one, too?




It's my birthday. Number 39. Last stop 'til 40, right? The morning reflections.... is this a part of aging? Waking up in the morning and ponderng all of life's big unanswered questions? Or is this more of a biological thing that is tied into the anniversary of my birth? Is there some other kind of biological clock attached to my psyche that's prodding me to get seek revelations before I have 2 cups of coffee? 3 cups of coffee later... I'm still curious as to why this morning was different than the last 14,235 mornings of my life.




Birthdays are traditionally reserved for celebration; an acknowledgement by an other for another, of their admiration and thankfulness for them -- for their life. We reserve the first day of each calendar as our "New Year". Technically, our birthday is the start of our new year. As I pondered on this, I decided I was more likely to keep a resolution if I were to evaluate myself every 365 days of my life. What? Don't look at me like you haven't the foggiest idea what I am talking about.... you know all too well how we can have the best of intentions on New Year's Eve after a few cocktails, huh? Yeah, how many of those have you kept? Today, while under the influence of aging, I will take an inventory of my life, look at my goals, and decide how I will spend this coming year.
