quote to ponder

word up

heard about this website on the radio.
for those of you that love messing with the english language, you've got to check this out.
http://www.unwords.com/. you can submit words that you know (or have made up), that aren't in the dictionary but should be. they go through a vetting process, and hopefully your word gets added to their dictionary ( it's more like a "fictionary"...hey maybe i should submit that!)
today's submission from yours truly is as follows:

mor-gasm (more-gasm)..the rush one feels when obtaining yet more highly desirable stuff.

i.e. " Suzie was so excited about getting another pair of Gucci sandals on sale, she practically
had a mor-gasm right there at Lord and Taylor".

deeply superficial

i am seriuosly disturbed.this morning i rolled out of bed and hit the bathroom. i am one who needs to read while on the commode and so began perusing our local independent newspaper. i was still half asleep ( not sure if that vindicates me from the sheer pitifulness of this story, but still it's a fact). there was a picture of Mahatma Gandhi. while looking at his weathered face full of beauty and wisdom, I found myself thinking ..you know that furrow line between his brow really doesn't do justice to the peaceful guy that he was...kind of made him look worried or angry... STOP right there!! I've gone too far. What kind of person would project their own issues about aging onto one of the greatest human beings ever to walk the earth? !! I've been reading WAY too many botox ads .
at this point can i even be helped?

end of vacation depression

i've had 10 days off. Ten glorious, fun, productive, relaxing days off.
Tomorrow i return to the Wonderful World of Working Stiffs. My fantasy of being an independently wealthy individual will come to a crashing halt.
i just re-set my alarm for 5:50 am. it's almost enough to make me cry like a goddarn baby. ten days is not enough. Sure, i did get to see a building blow up at Kodak park and I did take my first nap in 10 years, but still didn't get to clean out the dormer..or go to the drive-in.. or ride the jack rabbit..or even lie in my newly acquired hammock. Whaaaaaaaa!
Gotta go . need to put myself in time-out and pull myself together.

child..the third

Call it my miracle baby...my post-hysterectomy wonder-child.

Unlike the other two, this baby won't be breastfed for two years, won't need braces or a college fund.
There were no contractions and the delivery was painless.
Today I went to watch the press run for my book.
I was unprepared for the total joy and pride I felt for this little bugger. It was a bliss buzz for sure.
Actually got a little woozy .. felt like I was on the verge of tossing my cookies..in a good way.
We'll have it in our hands by next week. It's so cute..I wanna carry a picture of it in my wallet.
Cool that it came into existence so close to mother's day.

R.A. Issue of the day/ The benefits of wearing adult underoos

You reach a certain age where you can no longer get away with wearing young looking or trendy clothes without appearing pathetic and ridiculous. I've seen it ..and it's rough.
Being a reluctant adult and longing for all things fun and young , I've solved the age inapproriate clothing dilema . On the outside I've pretty much given in to standard 40ish fare..but underneath I've taken to wearing Super Woman underwear on a fairly regular basis. When I find myself in a jam ( like delivering mail in a blinding snowstorm ) they give me a secret kind of strength and belief in my abilities. If you can't posess actual super powers, the next best thing is super undies.
