Tomorrow I Will Be 40

Holy shit, I was just 23...so it seems. And what am I about to have for late dinner before turning in? A whopping bowl of Fruity Pebbles. Yeah! That's right. Fruity Pebbles.
This past Friday we went up to DC to hear the ever lovely Susan Graham sing at the Kennedy Center. We had made great time but then got caught up in traffic and whatnot and I ended up dressing and applying light makeup in the garage of aforementioned Kennedy Center.

She was great. I'd like to be her personal chef. And best best friend.

spam spam spam spam, i'll have the cheese danish then

Much like everyone else, I receive unsolicited emails or "spam". Perhaps you've heard of it. I like to call them 'spams', as in "Oh my God, you wouldn't believe all the spams I got today while I was out walking the dog!" Okay, seriously. However, I have to admit that some of the subject lines catch my eye and make me chuckle. I've now gotten into a habit of jotting down some of the funnier ones.

I had the Weather Channel on earlier to get the details for the day and one of the anchors? meteorologists? weather spokesmodels? chickies? was speaking about something or another and said "...you know the saying 'don't fool with Mother Nature...' " and I looked up from tying my shoes as I realised that that is less of a saying and more of an advertising slogan. Oh wait, wait, it was an advertising slogan. I find it both entertaining and creepy that advertising can so permeate things. Have it your way.
