Waddup wid dat?!?

I was pretty busy last week – it was the week of my sister’s retirement party and I had to give a speech about her. It occurred to me that I never had an official retirement party but some would argue that every day is a party for me…

I have said for years that at some point you have to retire because you need all the time in a day just to maintain your body.  Most of the time I think I do a pretty good job at that – maintaining, that is.  I mean, I don’t expect miracles.  I just want to look good for my age – Ok – maybe I want to look great for my age.  Every day I look in the mirror and I think to myself – not bad, I’m doing OK.

But every once in a while, I get a wakeup call…when I look in the mirror, it’s face forward.  Some of the pics that came in from the retirement party were IN PROFILE!  Apparently I am not doing as well as I thought I was – LOL

So a word of advice to friends and family – when taking pictures of your venerable senior friends, try not to take a profile shot – those of us over 60 would prefer to live in the state of denial rather than seeing the grizzly details, thank you very much.

BTW – results from the poll about who should be in charge of Canadian Tire Money:

men 50%              women 38%         other     12%

Look down – look way down…

No, it’s not because I want you to notice the green pedi and silver toe rings – but what do you think?  too kinky for 60?  well, who cares: I do what my head tells me…

Anyway, the reason I’m telling you to look down is so you can save money – I’ve noticed that more and more people are just leaving the coins on the ground when they walk by – pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters: it all adds up – and don’t just look on the ground – check out the floor of cars when you get in – you never know what you might find!

For instance, last weekend when I got into my sister’s car, I saw some Canadian Tire money on the passenger seat floor. It was only 5 cents but I picked it up anyway – both my sister and brother-in-law tried to claim it but hey, finders-keepers.  For those of you who don’t know what Canadian Tire money is, it is virtual gold (in a Canadian Tire store) and I’m telling you it is next to impossible for a woman to get her hands on it – men hoard it and won’t share! So I scored big!
