I was watching one of those murder mystery shows last night - Dateline, etal, and is so often the case, the now deceased person had warned someone in their life "if something ever happens to me, the police need to investigate X person. . ."

It occurred to me that if someone has slighted you in some way and you want to make their life unpleasant for a while, you could always put it out there, no matter how unfounded, that THEY are that X person.

 SOMETIMES, just sometimes . . . . .

I think Smudge is plotting my demise

 

Things I Should Be-Am-Am Not-Whatever Embarrassed By:

• I like bologna sandwiches on white bread with French’s yellow mustard
• I still haven’t figured out how to recycle properly
• I look down on people who use busses for transportation
• I like the songs Pina Colada and Mandy
• I barely (only if pressed) know how to work the TV remote
• I will watch the movie “Overboard” with Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell every time it is on TV – which is a lot

I know there are many many more, but this is it for now.

 

I was watching our Governor Maura Healey’s State of the Commonwealth address the other night.  As you might expect, there were lots of applause throughout her address, some more vigorous than others.  As they always do, there was an interpreter doing sign language.  How is it that I have never noticed the sign language for applause?

I am loving this on so many levels – and the intensity of the sign language changes based upon the intensity of the applause.  I am going to use this myself from now on whenever I, or someone else says or does something worthy of applause.

 

 I promised myself I would write on this blog every week.  I don't happen to have anything clever in mind so thought I would share this pic from yesterday morning - beautiful!

 MAY NOT BE SUITABLE FOR CHILDREN    

To wrap up the last of my New Year/Old Me posts, I have, below, the fruits of my labor from New Year's Day.  While Tom was removing every single remnant of Christmas from our home, I was cleaning out our pantry.  

Some people consider the image below "porn" thus the warning . . .

Extremely satisfying.
