Isn’t that romantic?

      No Comments on Isn’t that romantic?

Let me just state for the record that I hate the Bachelor and Bachelorette. I’ve probably watched a grand total of 5 minutes of these shows since they began. Every moment I’ve watched that wasn’t being made fun of on The Soup was spent with my brow furrowed in disgust. The actors on the show are just so stupid. I… Read more »

Online Dating Chronicles: Low Maintenance Lisa

Because I think I’m low maintenance, I’m probably not. But, one unsolicited text a day makes me very happy. Replies don’t count…well, they do, but the unexpected random text of song lyrics always makes me smile…laugh even.  It’s like a flirty version of Name That Tune. OK, maybe not, but it’s fun regardless. Of course, woman cannot live on digital… Read more »

Is it the future yet?

      2 Comments on Is it the future yet?

Today I was doing a task at work when I wrote the year 2020. The first thought in my brain was, “Will I still be alive then?” I mean in my awareness that’s the future. Except…it’s only 8 years away. 8 years ago? It was 2004. Also, I think I’m stuck in 1998. I have no concept of my age…. Read more »

Online Dating Chronicles: What is normal?

At one point, not long ago in our history, meeting people via a dating site was considered to be weird. OK, maybe for some people (most people) it still is weird. Meeting people in a bar was taboo…back in the 50s…I think. What I’m trying to say is that just because a method of meeting people who are potential mates… Read more »

Tomatoes: The hidden menace

      3 Comments on Tomatoes: The hidden menace

It’s summertime when a person’s fancy turns to thoughts of sun ripened fruits and vegetables. I’m not a huge fan of produce, but I do enjoy a fresh, homegrown tomato. The problem is that my body hates them. Do you remember that movie Attack of the Killer Tomatoes? It was really big as a video rental way back in the… Read more »

Life isn’t a highway, apparently

I was talking to a friend of mine about her teenaged son the other day.  He has no interest in getting his driver’s license.  This is baffling.  When I was a kid, back when we drove Fred Flintstone cars, people couldn’t wait to be free of the restraints of parental driving.  Sure, it wasn’t cheap, but I don’t remember anyone… Read more »

Random Thoughts on the Tour de France

The Tour de France is big in Sacramento.  You know how I know that?  Because so many damn people ride their freaking bikes dressed up like Greg LeMond.  Oops.  I’m showing my age.  I mean Lance Armstrong. Seriously, these people have the whole freaking spandex get up…even that stupid hat.  Does this happen in other states or is it just… Read more »
