Several of you brought a glaring error on yesterday’s post to my attention, so I’m logging on today to rectify my horrid, careless mistake. Here, for your edification, is the missing hot-person-over-forty:
Now, Ladies - who would you bump off yesterday’s list to make room for Sting?

The “I must be getting old” edition.
I love my husband very much and, as part of my demonstrating this affection, I am learning to watch baseball. I’ve never really liked baseball, mind you - watching it seems slightly akin to watching the proverbial grass grow - but because he likes it, and because I [...]

If you’re like me, you’ve grown to really despise commercial radio. If the radio is even on in my car, it’s set to NPR; I can’t bear the constant, mindless nattering of D.J.s who are in love with the sound of their own voices and who are nowhere near as funny as they think [...]

My grandmother is in the hospital. I can’t say she’s fine (if she were fine, she wouldn’t be in the hospital, now, would she, Chili?) but she’s not there actively pursuing her death. She has lymphoma, and it seems that the last round of chemotherapy left her with sores and ulcers on the soft tissues [...]

I got this from the Hartman Personality Test. It’s just a little bit of nothingness, and it was hard to remember back to what I was like as a child - I’m SO different now - but it seems to have come up with something recognizable as me, so take it for what you [...]

This is going to sound like so much self-aggrandizing crowing. I assure you, it’s not intended to come out that way, so try to read it without that overtone, okay?
Yesterday, the Chili family went to our local Friendly’s for dinner. We weren’t planning on eating out, mind you, but we didn’t have much [...]

So, last week, I was up at WeedWoman’s place. We hung out for a little bit, then drove to a slightly less podunk-y town than the one where she lives for a doctor’s appointment, then we came back and had yummy chicken-and-veggie wraps for lunch. After lunch, she hauled out all her WeedWoman [...]

Wow! I really stumped y’all on last week’s Ten Things Tuesday, huh? I’m sorry if I made some of you crazy (hi, Ciboulette!). I didn’t think the quotes were that obscure, but I guess I was wrong. Don’t be too hard on yourselves; it’s tough to figure stuff like this out when [...]

This isn’t exactly exciting, but here are ten things on my to-do list. I figure, if I write them down, they’re more likely to get done…
1. Register and inspect the Puck. It’s that time again, and I’ve had the form for the registration renewal on my desk for almost a month. I may make a [...]

I visited my grandmother Thursday - we always go to visit on Thursdays - and she and I wandered around her yard and came upon her patch of rhubarb. We yanked a couple of stalks out of the ground, and I started thinking about the Shakers.
A few years ago, I took a graduate class [...]
