O.K...I know I said I wouldn't post til tomorrow but I gotta tell you guys about how my day got started, such that it did..First, I woke up, thank the Lord! Next...well now remember, I was up til 4:30 this morning....and I got up at 7:30! Helped get my grandsons off to school then went straight to teach my class. I teach arts and crafts to the visually impaired twice a month and I call Bingo there once a month-it's really a blast! Aaanyway, I pick up a dozen donuts before each class to go with their coffee and tea. Apparently I made a change to the menu, because when I walked into Dunkin Donuts this morning I was greeted rather boisterously and responded in kind by requesting "a dozen eggs!!" The girl said "a dozen glazed?" To which I further replied "no, thank you, don't want a dozen glazed OR the dozen eggs I requested either". We both had quite a chuckle from that exchange. Thenthe other cashier, a 19 or 20-something-yr-old, gave me that "awww" look and completed my order. After leaving with my tail between my legs, I realized I had to go BACK into that store and retrieve my car keys! So much for a respectful retreat. How's that for a day-starter?!!
Tell me a story about a time when your brain was mush and you weren't able to keep that to yourself...I'd love to hear them! LOL
50Plus & Fabulous...It's 2am and I'm not feeling too fabulous at the moment. But I challenged myself(and my baby sister) that I would at least get some info on blogging. And here I am posting my first entry!
Well, my name is Sheila and I am actually 52 now. Married almost 29 years to a really good man-well he's a good person who happens to be a man. We have a daughter who blessed us with 11 yr-old twin grandsons.You know...I mean they are eleven now. More on all of that later. At present I am a housewife. More on that later too.
And you know-I do feel a bit fab-I just started a blog you guys! Woohoo! Been thinking about taking this leap for a little while now but kept talking myself out of it because I couldn't for the life of me believe that anyone would want to read what I have to say. But you know what? The plunge wasn't too deep, a little chilly, but not too deep.
My plans include sharing stuff from my life with you. Hopefully hearing about yours too and seeing what we come up with-the good and the not-so-good, but it will all be fabulous! I promise, I won't use the word fabulous more than...oh..once or twice or a few times a post? I better get out my thesaurus then, huh?
So let's get this party started. Hang with me, invite your friends, stay tuned and enjoy. WE are gonna do this right! WE are gonna learn and grow with one another. Come back tomorrow-which I guess technically means Wednesday. Wow this is gonna be a blast..fun? cool? a winner? enlightening? How about-all of the above?
Got some pretty cool stuff to share with you so really-stay tuned and I'll tell you about the online contest I just won!
I want to leave you with this---we are blessed to wake up each morning, to survive another moment, another day. Let's leave a bit of ourselves with someone today-a positive bit! A fabulous bit!!
