A Not-So Lazy Day

4 Replies

At the Costco entrance, I waited while Jerry grabbed one of the massive shopping carts stacked together in rows. The carts often stick together and Jerry has the extraordinary strength to yank them apart like Hercules. That’s why he has the job to get the cart.
Jerry whooshed up beside me with our shopping cart and I flopped my purse and sun hat (necessary item in Arizona) in the cart. As I continued to stroll inside, Jerry stopped with a jerk. Something wrong? Turning toward Jerry, I noticed something odd. The man pushing the cart didn’t look like Jerry. “Oh! I’m sorry,” I said while retrieving my purse and hat from the cart. “You’re not my husband,” I added, laughing at my faux pas. The man, a balding, silver-haired older guy, smiled warmly and said, “No, but I wish I was!”
What? He wishes he was married to me? How sweet is that? And he doesn’t even know about my low-blood sugar moods. Let’s just say if it gets too low, I can’t guarantee the happiness for anyone within my immediate range. read more

Why I’m Grateful for Yoga Pants, Costco, Eavesdropping and Other Things

I’m Grateful For:

1. Sweatpants and yoga capri pants~ These are the pants that make you feel alive by their sheer comfort. Even if you don’t do yoga, it’s okay to wear yoga pants (I’m almost sure). And the older you are, the less concerned you are about yoga and the more concerned you are about comfort. That’s the beauty of it.

Why are these women laughing? They aren't wearing yoga pants. They also probably don't shop at Costco.

Why are these women laughing? They aren’t wearing yoga pants. They must be laughing through their pain.

2. Costco~ A guest hollered at me from inside my bathroom,  “Hey Bronwyn, you’re out of toilet paper!” This unfortunate crisis occurred in the pre-Costco days and caught me off guard. read more

Eleven Things to Make Your Life Better

Things to make your life better.

  1. Buy a sponge holder.

I got tired of the sponges dripping on the counter or floating in trays full of water, so Jerry and I bought a sponge holder. It comes with suction cups so you can stick it on the side of your sink and it clings there like Spiderman gripping the side of a skyscraper. Our sponge holder wouldn’t stick and it kept popping off like it wanted to escape. Jerry decided to fix the sponge holder once and for all and cemented it to the sink using silicone. Now the sponge holder never pops off. It’s there forever. And the great thing about this is no more puddles on our counter. Plus the sponge holder allows the sponge to air dry.  I wonder why songs aren’t dedicated to the sponge holder? read more
