I love it! Not just the first post, but ALL of it! I come from a long line of crotchety, bitter old women--I'm here to tell you now that I am putting a stop to that! I REFUSE TO GROW OLD--I am having the time of my life, now that the kids are grown. I only pay attention to clocks when I have to work.
I'm living life to it's fullest, taking care of marking things off my bucket list & making sure I laugh (not just ha ha, I'm talking ROTFLMFBO!) every single day!
ooh, maybe we should start an on-line version of the Red Hat Club? Who's with me?
I need to do the Walmart thing....its on my list now..
Oh my gosh Red hen, It was hilarious. I just stood there and watched as they sent several people to scope me out. I just laughed and laughed...... but really they are never there when you need help.
And Tiger Lily, I may age but I will NEVER grow old. Too much fun doing naughty things.
I am so with you. Helped # 4 child to move out of the house and NO I am not missing him. He needs this, to grow and learn. I was taking over his room the minute I knew he was actually out. Oh yeah, lets live life to the max!!!!
I have threatened many time recently, I'm going to buy a bunch of really full sweep denim skirts and a wide variety of colorful tights with outrageous patterns on them. Add some tie dye shirts and a cool pair of birkenstocks and I'll have my every day wardrobe.
The way I figured it, everyone in town already stares at me because I'm not one of "them" (i.e., they can't trace me through my kin since I'm not from around here), I might as well give them something to stare about.
Already found a great source for the skirts and I know where to order birkenstocks, now I just need to find the perfect stockings. Purple and bright pink colors will be given preference.
Oh that is wonderful. My preference... shorts with the most wild, crazy socks available. Ones that when I look down-- make ME laugh. My hubby loves it. Once in awhile when I go out in public like that (at least the socks showing) I find people smiling at me. I know they wish they could or would. But what the heck, why NOT? Life is too short to be boring and I did boring for 25 years and don't want to do that ever again.

The Purple Hat Club perhaps? My grandmother Lucy used to cut bait, fish, skinny dip- and every Sunday she was first in church in a purple hat!
I remember vividly the day she walked out of church and slipped on the icy steps. Bumpity bumped all the way down 8 stairs. She had some very "purple" language available when she landed. And a purple butt for about a week! I nearly hurt myself trying not to laugh or giggle even!
She is my hero Ranch hand. That will be me someday. Hmmm I can cut bait, skinny dip and have been known to get purple on occasion (usually in private though)
