Hey, long time no post............so here's a little nothing.......today's events.
1. I just couldn't let it go.............the quest for new chairs--recliners or something very comfortable and cozy. I have been looking for two months and sadly, OKC has very fewHa furniture stores and those we have are owned by one company...Mathis Brothers. I went to a new store in Norman yesterday and then today we went to the same store in NW OKC and lo and behold, that store was inner-connected to the Lazy Boy store and the Mathis sleep center. You get the picture? They are ALL owned by MB. I wonder if others are owned by them, but a little more discreetly.
2. I didn't buy any chairs and I have company coming next week. I guess we will make due with the old stuff.
3. Have you ever gotten the finger on the highway and you had no idea why? Today we were in the far right lane tooling right along in the line of cars. Very suddenly and aggressively a truck pulled in front of us and his finger was definitely directed toward us. We turned to one another and at the same time said "What did we do?" So..........when you have the urge to shoot someone the bird, take a moment to ask yourself how your actions are going to improve the situation. What if it had been your grandpa, your minister, your girlfriend's mother, your wife? Patience..........nobody has it anymore.
4. At Target today, I saw a little old lady with bobby pin curls in her hair. Just last week I posted a picture of pin curls..........had no idea anybody still used them.
5. It's Friday night and my Friday night dates haven't call us. I need a date.
6. It's hot! In OKC it's hot. Right now the clouds are between us and the sun and seems like a winter day. No really, but a blessing from the scorching sun. And AC: wow, a blessing indeed. And I forgot to tell you, the AC on the truck was iffy at best today. One minute it was on, the next ten minutes it was off. Believe me, that intermittent AC was greatly appreciated.
That's about all the NON-news I have. Hope you are enjoying your summer.
I love you.

Embracing My Inner Flo
Good morning everybody. Well, here I am again, sitting here having my third cup of coffee; full of life, vim, and vigor. So good morning all.
Did I tell you that I met Flo the other day? Probably not since I haven't written in this blog in days. Well, I met her. Yep, she was right in the car with me. IN FACT, I AM FLO!
I was riding in the car for a quick, quick grocery trip last Thursday morning. You know it was quick because I was expecting a family reunion at 2:00 p.m. I looked down and realized that I had on my biker shorts--well not really biker shorts, but maybe yoga shorts......yeah.....like I have really been into yoga lately...........can't get enough of that yoga. I saw that I had on my flowy (that's a Regina word) boho pink and black leopard print top with the silver threads (to go with my gray, tight yoga shorts). And then I saw that I had on my leopard thongs (back in the day we called them thongs...........not to alarm anyone............thongs can also be called flip flops) with my red toenails shining in the sun. GOOD GRIEF..........I AM FLO!
What in the world has happened to me? I don't care! 10 years ago I would have never worn shorts in public and thongs were iffy. But here I was............IN PUBLIC..............wearing shorts and thongs, mind you! Tight shorts at that, but at least I had my boho tunic to cover my bum bums. But...........I don't care! Well, I care a little bit. But there is a certain self-assuredness that comes with age and I am embracing it.
"When I get old, I shall wear purple"............or at least a bo-ho shirt. Embracing my inner Flo.
I love you!! Go get your Flo on!!!!!!!!!! (Coffee makes one use a lot of !!!!!!!!!!!!!)
For those of you under the age of 40, there was a sitcom in the 70s or 80s called "Alice" and Flo was the over the top waitress who always wore the most outlandish clothes and popping her gum. I am embracing my inner Flo.
