Submissive and henpecked a bit, are we? I proposed to my One True Love with a skywriting plane which scribbled in the sky, “Will you marry me, Lucille?” ---

AND? Don’t be a Scrooge! The least you could do is share which version, b&w, musical, Rich Little or Patrick Stewart, muppets, flintstones, all dogs, scooby doo? Come on do tell! Headed out to the thrift store, seeking vintage decor. ---

The thrift store is for those who can’t afford things elsewhere, not for someone wanting to go retro on their decor, cost of living is crazy as is. Some friends and I going out for a dinner and a movie ---

Taco Bell is open late. Will you be the first to order so you won’t have to pay again? Started Christmas shopping in November, finished today. ---

I’ll have you know If you were hoping for nuts you need two saplings, if they survive the next freeze which is arriving any minute now. I used to think it was enigmatic now it’s benign. ---

I guess I’ll have to be the one to tell you to your face: it’s not enigmatic, it’s not benign, it’s moronic. That’s why it took nearly a year for anyone to respond. I lived in New Hampshire in the 1970s. ---

Oh, so you were the prototypical Granola Girl were ya, smoking your Mother Nature and frolicking with the deer in the fields without a care in the world, while us hardworking types footed the bill for your carefree lifestyle by working our fingers to the bone! Maybe one of your moose friends will stomp your guts out and do us all a favor. Turns out I love the snow and the cold! Bring it all on, baby! ---

Even though I don’t mind the snow and cold weather, I enjoy warmer weather over the struggles of winter weather: Driving in wintry conditions, giving your car some time to heat up before leaving the house, wind chill vs actual temperature, the heating bill, etc… Since today is February 29th, I’m glad that we all had an extra day to accomplish whatever we needed to get done… ---

What did those spuds ever do to you to deserve such a squishy fate? I bought a $500 food processor to celebrate Leap Day! ---

Even though preparing and cooking food at home is cheaper than going out, there are food processors out there for less than $500, there’s no need to spend that much for home cooked meals (in my opinion) In other news, 2025 has been an interesting year so far, can’t wait to see what’s next… ---
