YOU KNOW YOU'RE OFFICIALLY OLD WHEN...

You go to iHop and have the Rise&Shine 55+ "Senior" breakfast and then go to see the Bruce Springsteen movie.

At 10:00.

On a Saturday morning.

I'm also am not ashamed to confess that I carried my own damn good cold brew in my purse...it is, after all, medicinal.
(The sticker is covering the opening in the lid...I didn't want it to spill, and this came from my planner collection of TCMC emotis.)

Nap time for me, Dearies, because my Irish are playing Boston College this afternoon and I need to be alert so I can holler at the TeeVee!

UM...I MIGHT HAVE TO LIVE HERE NOW


 

My goodness! When I started reading The Count of Monte Cristo, I knew it was a big book, but when I glanced up and saw that I was on page 1,010 with over 400 pages to go...well, I just kept on reading!

I am absolutely positively thoroughly enjoying every minute spent reading this, and I am so happy when I can steal a few minutes out of the day to dive back into M Dumas' world. I printed a graph of all of the principal characters early in, and am so happy I did so! After this many pages, you'd think I know them all like family, but I need to sort them out every now and then.

Laundry today, followed by a flip of the closet from summer clothes to winter...which basically means swapping out lightweight pajamas for flannels! Notre Dame plays Boston College in the football at 3:30, so hopefully I'm parked in the chair with my cold brew and stitching by then!

What's blowing your skirt up today, Dearies? Come tell me all about it!
