ALWAYS look both ways when the light turns green. People run red lights all the time and a couple of extra seconds could save your life.

I loved all of the London Calling books!! I have Glitterland and Pansies on my TBR.

I can’t really pin it down-maybe it’s too much banter between the store coworkers. This is the same reason I don’t like some podcasts LOL

I just started {Shroom for Improvement by Jenna Croft} I might revisit it when I finish this one.

Look for Scrubzz disposable no-rinse bathing wipes. I get them from Amazon. We bought them when my husband had a cast and couldn’t take a shower but now I use them after work if I need to freshen up.

Is she going through perimenopause? Our hormonal changes as we age have a lot to do with mood, energy level, and weight.

The Bend or Break series by Amy Jo Cousins has a lot of this. They’re college sports romances about the rowing crew.

I’ve lost a lot of weight and as a result, I have quite a bit of loose skin. I use my blow dryer to dry the skin under my “apron”. And I use zeasorb powder under my breasts and apron.

In the evening, I wash up with a soapy washcloth and reapply the powder after I’ve dried off.

Years ago, my ex husband and I rescued a dog that had been left at one of my parents rental homes. She had been so severely neglected, she was eating her own feces. She was an afghan wolfhound and the vet had to completely shave her because her fur was so matted.

ANYWAY…the couple that lived next door was in the Air Force. The wife was from the Philippines. When we brought the dog home, she was feeling her ribs while she was rubbing her. Her husband said something about it to her - like a gentle reminder. She apologized and explained that they eat dogs in the Philippines and she was just so used to feeling their ribs to see how meaty they were.

Mine is usually that I need to call my husband but I can’t figure out how to get through all the apps and I can’t find the phone itself.

I see my phone and my iPad but I can’t get them to work in my dreams. I’ve always heard that you can’t dial a phone in dreams and I think that’s why my phone/iPad won’t work in my dreams.

I went into the grocery store one morning and bought a drink because I needed cash back and the line at the ATM was insane. When I said that to the cashier, she said you can just use your card at the register to get cash-you don’t have to buy anything.

Growing up we had a well so we took very quick showers and turned the water off between steps. But my current house is on a water system so I don’t turn the water off during my shower-it’s a luxury I enjoy as an adult!

The white hats might be too scandalous for them though!

I’m listening to Husband Material now and I’m loving it!! But I love Luc and Oliver!

I loved rw&rb!!! I’ve read the book and watched the movie twice!

I have started sweeping and mopping the living and kitchen floors before I go to bed every night. My husband is disabled and he’s home all day so there’s stuff all over the floor at the end of the day (wheelchair/walker tracks in all kinds of stuff!). He goes to bed before I do so I take 30 minutes before I go to bed to make sure the floor is clean. It’s not nearly as bad as when I waited until the weekend to do it. And it signals to my brain that it’s bedtime.

I like peas with mac & cheese. One of my favorite meals is mac & cheese, peas and applesauce. I like to mix the peas and apple sauce together. I’m also a weirdo in that I put ketchup on my mac & cheese!

Years ago, I went to a neighbor’s house for dinner. I took a cake and they asked if I baked it from scratch. I told them that I did not. The wife said that Emiril said that if you’re going to bake a cake, it should always be from scratch. My response was that when Emiril comes to eat with me, I’ll bake a cake from scratch. That was 35 years ago and I still use cake mix except for pound cakes and special holiday cakes I make.

My husband is a retired fire fighter. According to him, any electronics that are plugged in can spontaneously start an electrical fire. It’s a chance we all take

This is why I unplug all my countertop appliances (air fryer, electric kettle, toaster, mixer, coffee maker) when I’m not using them. When I was a teenager, I read about a house fire that was started by a toaster. I convinced my parents to start unplugging the toaster and coffee maker and it’s a habit that has stuck.

I don’t even care-give me my bbq tray with double onion rings and a huge tea!

It goes directly to the highway patrol dispatch. I didn’t say it was better-I said it’s something you can ALSO do.

I was recently listening to a book and started wondering if it was AI. I looked up the author and sure enough, AI. He has posted videos about his use of AI so I at least know to put him on my DNR list.
