Newly Mirrored Fifty-One

I left a new number in the rear view mirror yesterday.  Fifty one has come and gone and I am on to Fifty-two.

This is not at all what I thought my fifties would feel like.  I look younger than I thought I would though I don’t look as young as I would like.  And it distresses me that how I look now interests me more than it used to do.  It is easy to be cavalier about a face and body that didn’t take  much work to make presentable. Now I have to put some effort in it .  I have Spanx in all varieties now.

This is For The Ever Patient Ruthie

That sigh just got me.

I know I have been away an awfully long time.    The longer I stayed away the harder it was to get back and my logical mind said what’s the point.  You don’t write people don’t come.  People are gone I’m sure by now so why write?  It was a self fulfilling prophecy.

And I also  suppose I have been a little lazy as well.  Facebook is very easy.  I can stay in touch look around and do it quickly.  Which I know is against My Mother’s Rules!

Caroline Wozniaki

She is ranked as the number one women’s tennis player in the world.  She has never won a major tournament.  She got that ranking because she has played so much and won so many smaller tournaments (also the fact that Serena and Venus were injured  helped too!)

Anyway I have never been a fan of Wozniaki because she is not what I would consider an interesting player.  No super big shots.  Doesn’t come to the net a lot and, truth be told at the end of the day Serena is my girl.  That being said  I just watched Wozniaki  play and I have a whole new respect for her.

The answer to that question is

LOTS!!!

Some of it is cosmetic.  My chambers has been changed.    The graphics and music have  changed.

Back at It

School’s in.  Not just for my sons but for me.  I go to school with them every year.  This year I’m taking

Patience 1800 – I have been at it forever. I am not one to slow walk things.  Never been good at that.  I’m like “Let’s get it done! Let’s move!  Let’s do a good job!” and everybody looks at me like I have lost my mind.  This year: no getting crazy (I say that every year) .  And I am usually okay until the last semester and then, well . . .

Last night I said, “Don’t you see?  You can’t leave here until you know this.  If it were me I’d learn it just to shut me up.”  We can’t seem to come to an accommodation on it though.
