Calling the Season of Fall, Where You At?



It's that time of year again, when the leaves are changing and the smell of fall is in the air. It's all about bonfires, and chili, and bundling up in wooly sweaters. Granted, in my neck of the woods, it still smells a little like summer and feels like it too. I am ready and waiting to kick my fall wardrobe into high gear and have yet to see consecutive days that are cooler. The days that I wear my boots, my legs end up sweating and all I can think about is when I can finally take them off. When I eat chili, the temperature in my house (body) sky rockets up to 110 and I end up wearing shorts for the rest of the evening to cool my body temperature down.
AND with Halloween quickly approaching, I am less concerned about being cold in my skimpy sexy indian costume (that's right, I'm bringin' sexy back, gone are the days of being a hippie in baggy clothes) and more about whether the boot spats are going to create under the knee sweat. (Oh please Jesus don't let THAT happen).

Please fall, will you get here soon?

Why Old People Shouldn't Drive



Um, yes. I really do.

Tonight I was driving to pick my son up from football and I was behind the SLOWEST DRIVER EVER. Then if the slow driving wasn't bad enough, this person put their blinker on when they went around the curves. CURVES!? It wasn't a stop sign. It wasn't a Y in the front, IT WAS A SLIGHT CURVE in the road and the blinker went on. This happened...twice. Finally, they approached their destination road, turned right.....and of course, DIDN'T TURN THEIR BLINKER ON.

I mean really? When they turned onto their street, I tried to look to see if they were "special" because seriously, WHO DRIVES LIKE THAT. Nope. Not special. Just old.

This is why old people should not be allowed to drive. They frustrate me....I have no patience. Love you grandma, but really - you should just take the bus if you need to run to the store.

What Sucks Worse Than Death?

...watching your son grieve about someone who has died.
