It’s Not Thursday
1. I’m distracted from writing deadlines by a suitcase in my bedroom that I’ve been slowly filling with flower print warm weather clothes.
2. I’m irritated because it seems like we’ve all been gagged from speaking out in support of the Palestinian people.
3. I found myself watching people in my age category at the Golden Globe Awards to see who looks too good to be true.
4. By next Thursday I’ll be in a different state and I may actually be sleeping in a tree house.
5. Where was Jack Nicholson?
6. In the last two weeks I’ve written about Thailand, tourism, comedy, and cheese.
7. Some of the perks I’ve received recently while covering stories for The Floyd Press include a Crooked Road T-shirt I won at a fashion show, a facial, private opera singing, a CD, and now cheese.
8. I recently went to a goodbye party for a friend who is moving to Hawaii. I had key lime pie and pineapple juice.
9. Lately I’ve been part Wild Thing (doing whatever I want whenever) and part Second Child(hood) Thing, as evidenced by my taking up chewing and snapping gum again after twenty years of not doing it.
10. I think sunglasses look cool but I never could wear them because they make things too dark or unnatural.
11. It’s hard to be cool when you’re a child, when you’re falling in love, or when you’re getting older, which leaves such a small window of opportunity for being cool.
12. I forgot that I had my digital recorder in my pants pocket when it accidentally turned on and caused me to walk all over the house checking TVs and computers to see what was on before I discovered it was coming from me.
13. Bryce, meet your Poppa Joe HERE.

I would love to be filling a suitcase… January is prime “getting-away” time and I am feeling the need.
Where was Jack.. good question!
I too did not like to wear sunglasses because of the darker sense of the world they presented, but knew I needed them. I started out with clear sunglasses that simply blocked out the UV rays and gradually developed a liking for increasing the tint.

Bryce is growing up so quickly…! Lovely Video. I think Jack only comes if he is asked to Present or is upo for something…!
Some Very Very ODD Choices last night….Laura Dern?? And quite a few people look like they have had outside help on how they are looking these days—if you get my drift…lol
I bet you are looking forward to being in that love;y WARM State, my dear….!

Have a wonderful trip – if you are staying in one of those Tree House B&B’s I will be very jealous. Actually, I’m jealous already because you will be in beach weather and I will be experiencing ridiculous 0 degree weather.

I’ll take some pictures for ya!

a treehouse??! where! OOh, I’ve always wanted to do that 🙂

I too went to the going away party and I ate: Thai noodles with peanuts and shallots, stuffed peppers with pineapple, two different salads with pineapple, two different casseroles that both had pineapple in them, ambrosia with pineapple, those thin pressed cookies with beautiful designs ??, and some delicious chocoate.
Sleeping in a tree house? Sounds like Belize. Have fun, you lucky dog.

It’s nothing quite that exotic, a treehouse hostel in Georgia on the way to Florida where a friend has offered us a place to stay.
I knew I ate more than what I mentioned but couldn’t remember the other Hawaiian syyled stuff. I do remember those pecan bars. Yum.

I had to laugh at #11 because, really, I’ve never achieved “coolness.” When I try, I end up just seeming ridiculous. Oh well…as Popeye said, “I yam what I yam.” 🙂

And, by the way, have a wonderful trip! Sounds lovely!

…you’re still a lucky dog. And if you beat the arctic blast that’s coming Friday, you’re even more lucky!

OH,my goodness, Bryce is growing way too fast! Loved the video. He’d adorable.
Wherever you’re going….Bon Voyage and have a great time.
(By the way, I’m NOT that amazing (smile) Maybe I’m a Type A???)

I can’t get over how much work people have gotten. Did you see Jessica Lange? I love Jessica but her arms looked 30 years older than her face. How are the rest of us supposed to feel. I’ve started admiring women in my health magazines much more than those in Hollywood. And where was Jack?

Ah well, why not do a Monday Thirteen? 😉 I like your list! The video of Bryce is cute, I watched some more of them. Have fun in the tree house, sounds great!
My TT has 13 mostly funny quotes this week. Happy TT-ing!

I think it is a shame people today can not age naturally. I used to be dead against plastic surgery, but now I can understand it a little more, since I’ve reach the ripe old age of 55. xo
PS Loved this post.
PSS Byrce is a doll.
PSSS Plus your absent mindedness is very funny!
