I Do So Have A Life!

So, I got a call Friday night from someone asking if I was going to Tom's party on Sunday. Only it wasn't a "Are you going?" It was more like "I'm sure you're going because you have no life."

I let it go but it clearly bugged me because the next day I said to Sugar Daddy, "Grandpa pissed me off because he said I have no life." Oops, I just gave away who it was but anyone who knows us both knows he's a master at pissing me off so they won't be surprised that it was he who riled me. He wanted to carpool but I told him I had to be there early. That put a kibosh on the plan. In the years that I have known him, he has NEVER been early and actually seems to go out of his way to be late to irritate me. A fact he admitted to at the party.

The thing is I get this "you have no life" thing from some people a lot. They think that because I do almost every club activity that I have no other things going on. I disagree. I do have a life and I'm packing it full with activities, many of which are club related but now all. I have my book clubs, trips, wine tastings, girls' night outs, lots of happy hours with different people, family functions, poker night, etc. Heck, I even have a coffee date on Thursday with a single guy. (I hope you were sitting down when you read that because it is a shocker.)

So, there you have it, a surefire way to rile me up. Just say
"Kathy, you have no life" and my blood pressure will be sure to rise. I'll probably punch you in head, though, so don't say I didn't warn you.

TV At Its Finest

I was talking to someone today who didn’t know who Bob Newhart was. I cut him some slack because he’s a youngster and didn’t grow up in the U.S. I told him about The Bob Newhart show and how it became a college drinking game and about Newhart, "Hi, I'm Larry; this is my brother Darryl, and this is my other brother Darryl." He was going to go to Wikipedia and do some research. The conversation got me thinking. Back in the day (like when dinosaurs were alive and I was young and there were only four channels on TV), we caught a lot of reruns of what are now considered classic TV. Especially, if you were a latchkey kid like I was, there wasn’t a lot going on in the afternoon/early evening so it was either soap operas or reruns unless you were allowed to be outside and play. And, of course, during summer vacation you had even more time to watch the boob tube. Here’s what I remember watching during those years: Gilligan’s Island, Big Valley (I’m still looking for my very own N

This Is How Fat Thinks

I was in Vegas over the weekend and Thursday night found me sitting at the bar in Margaritaville with some friends. We were having some drinks, talking to strangers and watching both the baseball and football games. All was well with the world. Out of nowhere, a young (20s?) guy came up behind me and snapped a selfie with me in it. He moved away before I could even get out "What was that about?" Less than 30 seconds later, another young guy came up and did the same. He also bounded away before I could stop him. My very first thought was that they were doing a photo scavenger hunt and one of the items was a picture with the fattest woman they found. Hell, could even have been the fattest person they saw if I let my mind take it further. Now, assuming a scavenger hunt, there are other reasons they could have wanted a picture of me. Maybe they needed a ginger, maybe it was someone with their hair in braids, maybe it was someone in the brightest colored shirt they could fin
