Helloooo!! Peeking in again. I am officially in my 40's now so I guess I belong here!

Welcome! How does it feel to be a member of the club?

Loft
 

Howdy Lofters, I hope that everyone is having a happy weekend. I am home and happy to be here with the kitties.

Cheers,
Chad

Weird!!! I'll admit it. I still feel young inside but 41 is officially in your 40's.

Oh, now we're lett' da yungins in!

Dar goes da neighba'hood. T'ain't nuttin' safe, no mo'?!

Lawdy be, what's zis wor'd a comin' to?

Evening lofters! Hope everyone's having a fabulous weekend! :)

In my bed. Waiting for sleep to take over. Just wonder y I can't stay awake in my recliner but I get in before and I'm eise azz awake

I hear you. In my mind and in my body, I'm still officially in my mid-twenties. Except, I really do love my age, and all the things that I've learned.

One helpful factor is that I don't have any aches or pains. Nothing.

Hey now! It says butches and femnes in their 40's!

I'm getting the aches and pains already. :|

(pout sulk) get offa my lawn, y'wee whippersnapper! (chuckle) - I still feel like a late teen in many ways in my head, but my body is FULL of aches and pains... sigh.. :-} Enjoy the ache-free years while they last, Introverted1!

(Intro quickly sprinting from Esme's lawn....)

I hope I remain ache-free for a very long time...I know I'm lucky!

There was a fabulous interview of Edie Falco on Bullseye this morning. The interviewer was ticking me off a bit, he was borderline insulting in pointing out that Falco's career didn't really begin to take off until she was nearly middle-aged (in her mid-thirties! Really?).

She replied beautifully that in her opinion, her life has just gotten better and better with each decade, and that she's hitting her stride right now.

Aches and pains, bah humbug. My mom taught us all about mind over matter. She was a pro. ballerina through her 30s. Smiling through performances that I would have called "safe word" on. Her right great toe nail never did heal properly. She used to tell me stories of taping up her foot when I started in about taping ankles and wrists doing gymnastics. Made me feel like a wuss, though not her intention. Was just trying to bond.

Oh my gosh, I've have heard horror stories about the pain of ballet! Your mom was a definite trooper, cathexis.

You were a gymnast? Did you have a specialty? I can definitely see how that would be wear and tear as well.

Ballet ain't no joke. I have no idea how they do it. Props to your mom!

And very interesting that you were a gymnast. How long did you do that for?

I think I'm up for a hike this morning...what are the rest of you up to today?

I woke up earlier with a headache so thus far I've only managed to reboot my start. :p I took a couple aspirin, went back to bed, just woke up and feel WAY better! Some fresh air and sun sound like a great way to go! :koolaid:

I`m doing some decluttering which so far has resulted in a lot of clutter.

I think I need some of Clay`s stackable totes !

Nope! I have my own to work through.

:runforhills:

Me too! It always seems to get worse before it gets better, eh?

I totally rock at this sort of project- wish I could come and help, LOL!

Well, I didn't hike today, but I have to tomorrow...the pasque flowers are blooming and I really want to see them while I can. There's a prairie in a state park not far from me.

I did manage to find a new pair of sneakers, which I need badly. Hard to find anything in my size (11), but I noticed at the shoe place today, there were even a few size 12's.

Making carrot cashew curry for supper.

Hard to believe two weeks ago you's had a snowstorm and now you're able to admire the beauty of pasque flowers!
Enjoy the park and your hike..:hangloose:

Carrot cashew curry!!!!!!! Oh now that wonderful raisins in it ?

I would go hiking for that

Homoe, literally TWO DAYS after the snowstorm, frogs were out singing! It was glorious.

I didn't include raisins, but I sure can for part deux tomorrow night! I'm a fabulous cook, I wish I could magic some of the meal right over to you.

Ya know, with talk like this you'll have butches breaking down your door......:giggle:

If only...

Loft
 

Life is great!

I hope that everyone finds some happiness this weekend.

swinging from rafters of Loft looking for a date...someone to date....:)
 

Good wish list Clay....I for one have resorted to looking at Amazon.com to see if they have those items in stock.

Crowded loft yesterday! I hope all of the Lofters have a wonderful weekend.

Nice to see the Loft so busy, enjoy the rest of your weekend everyone :bunchflowers:

Yes, please sign me up.

Houston is good I am there all the time for work. Austin and Dallas are good too.

This seems like a perfectly reasonable wish list to me.

North Padre Island National Seashore is AMAZING. Anyone up for a camp out on the beach?
