Condom Star

First, let's talk about the title.  Think of the Psy song Gangnam Style and replace the words with Condom Star.  A friend of mine thought those were the words to that song so I thought this was a fitting post title.   funny!

So I went to have drinks with my friend Pete the other day and he told me the most hilarious story.   He's recently separated and discovering the ins and outs of being single in your 40's.   First order of business?   Buying condoms.   Have you been to the condom counter lately?   We used to have a choice of lubricated or non-lubricated.  These days there is an entire 6 ft by 8 ft section of selections.  

Tryptophan, Turkey and Tired Afternoons

Every year my family gathers together to gorge themselves on artichoke dip, deviled eggs, a variety of peppers, olives and carrots followed by a bunch of cheese and crackers all before we finally sit down for the long awaited Thanksgiving feast.   Now we've spent at least a week preparing for this monumental moment. Planned the dishes, determined who was bringing what, went to the grocery store to get the ingredients and  then spent a few days preparing the pies, casseroles, etc.  When the moment finally arrives we sit down and eat for approximately 20 minutes... total!   All of that preparation and we are done gobbling it down in less than 30 minutes?  REALLY!? 

Lynn

Today is my sister's birthday.   She would have been 45 today.   There is so much to say, yet, my fingers are frozen.   So, my entry today is:

Lynners.... I miss you.   I wish you would have allowed us to love you.
