Midlife Crisis - not 20 anymore - and neither are they!

Hubby is having a mid life crisis. In the past 3 months, we have attended several concerts of our old favorite rock groups. (Did I say OLD?  I meant groups from our formative years, not too long ago!)

I told my husband - this is not working very well. If you don't want to feel old, you shouldn't go to concerts to see your favorite teen rock groups - 35+ years later! They have aged - some better than others. And so has their audiences! (All except me of course.)

Here are the groups we have seen so far - although not the actual concerts. As you can see - THEY definitely are not 20 anymore, or 30, or 40, or ... (I am stopping there)!!

However - I AM still 29!!!

(Oh - and if one of the band members looks young - it's a safe assumption that they are not original members of the band.)

Doobie Brothers



Chicago



Eddie Money



Three Dog Night



Jefferson Starship



Paul Revere and the Raders

Have a shakin Halloween!

We survived Sandy just in time for the monsters!!





Happy Halloween everyone and enjoy the candy! Yum Yum

#15 is here!

Its a girl!!!  Healthy and doing great!

We now have 15 grandchildren!

 Who would have thunk it!!!

Can we just vote now!!!

Please, can we just vote now!

I am so done with all the political rhetoric,
and the debates which are more political rhetoric,
and the adds which are more political rhetoric,
and the phone calls which are more political rhetoric,
and the rallies which are more political rhetoric,
and the news media coverages which are only more political rhetoric

Please, can we end the Chinese Torture now and get back to normal life again.

Let the politicians get back to their work...
you know...
what they do so well...
Spue more political rhetoric!

But at least after the election it's not in my face all the time!!!

So why wait - lets just vote now - and get it over.

PLEASE!!!!

Fuming Mad!!!

Do you know what this ugly critter is? 

 

 

I do...intimately...thanks to my daughter and her cat!

My daughter and her cat moved in with us for a few months...

uumm... a year ago.

They just moved out, but left behind... 

Fleas

Lots of them!!

UUUGGG

Ever since daughter and her cat left

I have become the fleas dinner menu!

Not Hubby - who badgered me into allowing her

to bring the cat here.

Nope - just me!  Apparently they prefer my blood!!!

 

I am so fuming mad!!!!

 

And what makes me really really mad...

daughter insists that we did NOT get them from her cat

because she did exactly what I told her to do

from the beginning.

Yeah!

Right!

Supposedly, she de-fleaed him before she brought him

and treated him every month

and kept her room clean and vacumed

and he has no fleas on him now.

 

BULLPUCKY!!!

 

Funny... we had no fleas all the years we had cats, until now.

Funny... the worst of the flea infestation is in the basement where

the cat had been confined and there were none there before she moved in.

Funny...her room looked like it had never been vacumed.

Funny...there were flea droppings where the cat laid most of the time.

Funny... isn't it?

 

NO!!!

NOT FUNNY!!!

 

Did I mention I am shakingly fuming mad???

 

And do you know how freaking hard it is to

get rid of these critter???
