banger
so i gotta tell you this.
i got home from my work on my birthday and helped mr p make the decision for dinner. taco bell. i ran to get it. do not be alarmed, this has been our way for many years. besides all that, i had forgotten the day was my birthday when i made arrangements with a girlfriend to have coffee whilst mr p was out playing pool as he normally does on wed. nites. so i get home and after chowin' down, mr p announces that he is going to go check the mail, something he may have done 3 other times in our married life that i can remember if i try really hard. i was sitting here...when he came back and as he came through the door he says, 'hey, g, whose dog is this?' my immediate reaction was, 'how the heck would i know??? its not like i know any of the neighborhood dogs - i don't even know the neighbors!' so i get up off my birthday butt and go to the door, and there was this little puppy dog coming thru from outside and i said, 'here puppy, here puppy' and that dog came running and jumped into my arms and started licking my face. she looked just like my ol' dusty dog that i love so much only she was smaller and blonde! and she told me her name was banger! but mr p said we could not keep her because it belonged to someone (even though it wasn't wearing a collar) long story short i agreed with mr mean, i mean mr. p, he would put it out when i left for coffee and if it ran a way, well it wouldn't be ours and if it stayed, we would keep it. so...it ran away. and i have been looking for her. i have even been checking the spca and county pound. he offered to take me to get another dog, but i don't want a dog...i just would want banger. she was EXACTLY the dog i was wanting and then she came to me for my birthday!!!! she was my birthday dog!!!!!! l at work said she would come back, but so far, no banger. i hope i find her.

Double Nickles: oh-one, twenty-seven
eeeeyup. its my birthday. yesterday i was in a meeting with my boss and i asked him if he knew of a different version of silent night, holy night; one that my sister-in-law learned as a child, 45 or 50 years ago. well my boss, he is a musician's musician...he is really really smart and of course he knew of it AND was able to find it, even. it was in a very old, very very, really really old book. we looked blankly at each other. lol. we both agreed we really did mean to live this long, however, we never thought we would "have the privilege" of saying to another, "i can remember 50 years ago..." or "when i was a little...., 50 years ago."
eeeeyup...i can remember 50 years ago. i can't remember yesterday. my marbles are dull and have lost their finish. they are chipped, but not broken; scattered, but not totally lost. in the words of my mother...."have not lost my facilities, yet!"
yeah right. sit down. you're old. wise, maybe, but the facilities...well their doors are closing.
age does have it's privileges. i think i am now a senior citizen at most places. i find myself conserving energy...not only my own, but making sure the thermostat is down, and double-paned windows are closed. don't forget to pull the blinds to regulate the heat. how about turning off the lights when you are not using them. i count change to pay at all drive thrus (a habit i actually started 5 years ago). i spend time on fatwallet.com looking for "daily deals". i clip coupons...and even use them. my favorite saying is, "well, that is not how we used to do it." i don't want to learn anymore...i am having trouble with stuff falling out of my brains now....it has to be overload.
yeah, i am 55. i am alive. i am blessed. life is good. God is better.
have a happy birthday, me!

mundane lane
so i am sitting here tonight going through old posts...ack...a writer i will never be and wondering what i could possibly post now. face it, it is a pretty mundane life i lead. i read through other people's posts and think life in general is pretty mundane for most of us. i just dont have a creative thought in me, i guess. otherwise i would, well okay, could create an adventure for myself. what would that be like? it could mean packin' it up and going....where? hmmmm. it could mean making a committment to thoroughly clean this house and sticking to it.....why? hmmmmmm. i know! we could rent a room to a writer / philosopher and carry on conversations of...........what? besides, just because one is a writer / philosopher doesn't make one ummmm....right? hmmmmmm. i kind of liked the story line of julie/julia....and very close to doing the same thing, that lady that lived a life of O(prah) for the last year, wrote a book, sold a million copies, geesh, who would have thought. i think i would rather live in a tent in my back yard for 365 days with only one pair of undies. american idol will be on in the next hour. people are crazy. plumb nutz. most of them should line up for pics on peopleofwalmart.com but i guess we all are entitled to and should actually dream. the question is, just how big should your dream be? oh look there, a commercial of ladies with really big curlers in their hair...what does that have to do with Jeep?
well i was just passin through.....i'll have to catch up with ya later. i think someone is knocking at my door [eyeroll]
