Body Language

Have you ever watched a news clip or video tape of someone who you KNEW was lying? How did you know? There are people who are so expert on watched people’s body language that they can tell you if they are lying – without even hearing the actual words. Isn’t that interesting?!?

Sunday Newspaper

When I was a little girl, I would read the Sunday newspaper with my family on Sunday mornings. It was a family tradition. We all took a favorite section of the newspaper and read it through, then put the section back into the middle of the coffee table and switched out to a different section. It usually took at least an hour to read the whole newspaper. I miss those Sunday mornings.

Bagels

There are no good bagels around here. This is very frustrating. We used to get fresh bagels from the bakery at least once a week when we lived in the Washington DC area. Now the only time I can enjoy a good bagel is when I travel and have breakfast out of town.

Penpals

A very long time ago, the schools would encourage kids to have a penpal and write letters. I don’t know why the school stopped doing that. I used to have a penpal for a couple of years. But then we drifted away from writing regularly and now I’ve lost track of her. I wonder whatever happened to April? Well, it turns out that she has a blog! How very cool!

Hot, with More Hot

Sore Feet

Last weekend I bought a new pair of flip flops. I wore them for an hour or so on Sunday and then again on Tuesday night. So I thought they would be pretty much broken in by now. But no. I wore them yesterday while I was running errands and OMG! My feet hurt SOOOOO bad! It was totally because of the new shoes. I run the same basic errands every weekend and did nothing all that special today. But yeow! My poor tootsies are aching.

Government Employees are . . . Special

Quick Dinner

I’m hungry and I’m sick of drive throughs and fast food. I need an idea for a quick dinner. I have an assortment of things in the freezer, but almost nothing fresh is left on hand. I need to go grocery shopping tomorrow. Maybe tonight will just be some Ramen noodles and an extra handful of chopped meat.

Season Passes

The only amusement park of any kind in our area is a large water park located on the shore of Percy Priest Lake, which had their season opening today.

They do not have any of the traditional amusement park rides. They have several water park rides, wave pool, slides, and now including a new lazy river.

The cost for a season pass is about $60. That seems really expensive, but they say if you go more than two times, all the visits after the second one are free. So maybe that is a good deal after all.
