ON BEING A WOMEN.....(and waiting for spring)

What are we doing on these cold, windy, snowy days?

Hanging out in the warm spots...waiting for Spring,

hoping she hasn't forgot where we live!

Our little Zack...he loves to burrow into blankets.

~Zack and Bo...they are best friends as they sleep the day away.
I didn't intentionally buy them matching jackets...Zack's was the only xx- small they had
and it just happened to be the same one I had bought earlier for Mr. Bo Jangles!

~WILD THING~

I went for a walk in the sun without wearing my sunscreen.
I went out of town without making a reservation.
I placed my mouth directly upon a public drinking
fountain and took a sip.

I didn't bother flossing my teeth before bedtime.
I pumped my own gasoline at a self-service station.
I ate the deviled egg instead of the cauliflower with
low-fat yogurt dip.

I bought, without reading Consumer Reports, a new dryer.
I left my checking account unreconciled.
I know that the consequences could be dire,
But sometimes a woman simply has to run wild.

~WOMEN OVER FORTY~

(by Andy Rooney)

As I grow older, I value women over 40 most of all.
Here are a few reasons why:

A woman over 40 will never wake you up in the middle of the night and ask,
"What are you thinking?" She doesn't care what you think.

If a woman over 40 doesn't want to watch the game, she doesn't sit around
whining about it. She does something she wants to do,
and it's usually more interesting.

Women over 40 are dignified. They seldom have a screaming match with
you in the middle of an expensive restaurant. Of course, if you
deserve it, they won't hesitate to shoot you if they think they
can get away with it!

Women get psychic as they age. You never have to confess your
sins to a woman over 40, they just know.

Once ( you) get past a wrinkle or two, a woman over 40 is far more attractive
than her younger counterpart.

Older women are forthright and honest. They'll tell you right off
if you are being a jerk, you don't have to wonder where you stand with her.

Yes, we praise women over 40 for a multitude of reasons. Unfortunately,
it's not reciprocal. For every stunning, smart, well-coiffed, beautiful
woman over 40, there is a bald, paunchy relic in yellow pants making a
fool of himself with some 22-year old waitress.
Ladies....I apologize.

Hope everyone has got a little Spring going on where you live,
I love it when you share some with me!
