Midlife Crisis Part I

"Am I pretty?" I tentatively asked my sister. "Do I look younger than I am?"
"Yes," she replied obediently. "Why do you ask?"
"A student's dad hit on me today. Actually, he hit on me yesterday then came back today without his kid and officially asked me my marital status."
"I forgot my ring yesterday," my sister mused, "I was "hit on" by dads and students!"
"You're not helping." I was whining by now. "This guy is 65 years old."
"Oh," she said, "That's bad. That's really bad."
I know.

    Come on, he was looking for his trophy wife. You. A trophy. That mean's you're bright and shiny clean through.

    I agree with June. You totally do not look your age.

    I suppose if Sean Connery were doing the hitting, I wouldn't mind so much.

    Thanks for visiting LaurieVille. I am following you so I am going to be reading and commenting on your older stuff :-)

    A sugar daddy...with a troubled teenager. Oh, what fun! Feel flattered, my Dad told me yesterday that he remembers when I used to be pretty (he is struggling with brain tumor issues and says whatever comes to mind, without reservations). Even if senior citizens are throwing themselves in your path. :) You could offer to introduce him to your grandma....

    Hugh Hefner gets to be a sugar daddy. Tiger Woods gets to have a trophy wife. A 65 year old, unemployed, flat broke, divorced man gets neither.

    However, if Hugh Hefner came onto me, I'd throw up. If Tiger came onto me, I'd feel validated.

I am being published!

I know! It just reeks of excitement, doesn't it?  I know what you are thinking. "Who would publish that woman's thoughts?" The answer is a lovely little outfit called www.blog2print.com. In other words, I haven't been discovered. I am no closer to being a published author than I was yesterday EXCEPT that by Christmas I will be the proud owner of my very own blog book! I know. It's a little anticlimactic but here's the cool part. My friend, Becki, found me entertaining and directed me to a blog called www.josikilpack.blogspot.com.  She posted a little coupon code for 20% off which was supposed to end last week. Apparently, the code is still good and I saved $14. That said, you know it isn't exactly the cheapest way to get published but it's the best price I could find on publishing my blog!  And it requires very little technical know-how.  And that, my friends, tickles my heart. And, for a small price of your integrity and dignity, I will share the ...

Wordful Wednesday and Clever Much? Rarely!

Sometimes my brilliance blinds me! Speaking of brilliance, before we continue this discussion, if you are my mother in law, stop reading. Walk away. At least until after Christmas. Seriously. My own mother doesn't read my blog. I think it has something to do with words like "socially awkward" and "mortifying." She knows me. She doesn't have to read about me. She can just pretend like I turned out normal. Anyway, if the mother-in-law has exited the website, check out what she's getting for Christmas! TADA! I'd like to give a special shout out to the internet and whatever site I was cruising through last week for planting this idea into my head. Usually not this creative and I definitely don't know where I got the energy to take the kids out for pictures. Or go to Walmart for the frame. And Robert's for the mat. Costco for the pictures.  Yeah, I painted the frame, too. So not my style. Anymore. I also ordered a canvas print for my husband but I...
