I'm turning into my Italian grandmother

This morning I found a pencil tip length -sharpened, mind you- dark hair sprouting from my chin. No, I'm not posting the picture. I said, "Merda!"
A few hours later, I decided a nice waste-err, use of my time would be to iron my linen napkins then leave notes all over the house reminding everyone what they needed to pack for our getaway in 4 days. I don't know about you, but my Grandma was a big planner.

I started to bake but decided to look at porn instead- just kidding!! My darling Italian Granny died before the internet allowed for such interesting entertainment, so see, that is not what I would be doing if I was my grandma, instead I washed my little hairy dog- yes, a real dog-- people get your minds out of the gutter.
And I wrote thank you notes then washed my windows. Now I have to walk down to the mailbox and find someone to brag about my grandchildren to- and make sure they all know that in a few days, I will be laying on a beach just like this one:
getting more wrinkly and loving every minute.


funny old people joke:
An old man and his wife are in church when she leans over to him and whispers, "I just let a silent one go, what should I do?"
He says, " Change the battery in your hearing aid."

WOW - Linda, that is a fabulous picture. Where are you going? And can I come, too? I hope you have a wonderful time.

Looking at your picture, I can see that you must have been 16 when you got married if you are celebrating 16 yrs of wedded bliss this Sept.

Hah. My comment box is worthy of SPAM. I am so pleased to be found likeable.
Apparently CD does not know me well at all.

That beach looks perfect. I'm jealous.

The whole aging process is such a trip. There are so many wonderful things about it - like not thinking like a twenty year old girl anymore, but then there's all that other stuff....

Hilarious joke!
