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...

February 2020

Most of 2020 sucked. But, there were some good moments that made memories to cling to. I'm going to review some of those moments from each month. (Disclaimer - my memory isn't what it used to be so this is my story and I'm sticking to it regardless of reality.) I moved into my house in May of 2019 and it was already hot out so I used the Arizona summer as an excuse not to do anything to my patio or yard. I don't recall what excuse I used to justify ignoring the both in the fall and winter. Let's go with complete laziness. It's entirely plausible. However, I had to get on the stick and pretty it up because I had a bunch of company scheduled for the spring. The first thing I did was get some inexpensive chairs from Target for my beat up table. I honestly thought I could jam them into my car. I really, really did. One would never guess I was a Tetris master. After several futile attempts, this is how it ultimately went down. Adam (answering cell): Hi, Kathy! Me: Hi...
