Thoughts From Home…
Driving home from the office last week, "My perfect life has materialized!" The thought of two kittens and me snuggled up on the couch, laptop at the ready, Netflix sharing all its wares, made me giddy. That was last week.

Get A Job…
In the UK, some chick is getting paid to drink champagne and eat cake. No lie. She, I'm assuming it's a she, goes to wedding fairs to try the champagne and cake.

Chrismukkah came and went. As did the New Year with its festivity and promises. Resolutions? Gave them up for the New Year. Instead, I promise to be a better human both to myself and others.

There’s a Fridge For That…
Those of us stuck in another time rarely fall for trends. Keeping the younger set close can help when you need someone to say, "Hey get a haircut," or "Don't wear that black dress ever again."
