Jesus. Walmart? I'd never buy my mom anything from Walmart.
Hey, my kid is a corporate monster. She's an executive at a greedy corporation you'd instantly recognize. The idea that you would probably hate her is appealing to me.
Yet, despite our greedy awfulness, we are a close and living family.

My parents paid my way, as did theirs, as we did for our kid. It is truly one of life's lottery wins to get out of college with no debt.
My daughter and her husband live a completely different life from their peers because they are debt free.
But...
They were most willing to go to a good public.

Yes! That's it. I had trouble remembering!

Love my crockpot!

I never leave gifts to chance. I spell out exactly what I want.
I approve your strategy!

I can't help you with either . Except— I too have suffered from depression. Medication helped a lot . But most of all, finishing menopause absolutely killed off depression for me. All of those decades of periodic bouts disappeared. So did much of my prettiness, but it was more than a fair trade.

It's not creepy. It's interesting.

Awww. Sorry I mentioned it. But surely Canada has awesome cheese sites.

Can't buy it for you, but I bet you look awesome in it!

I am a college lecturer. I often see my students take seven to 10 years to graduate. I always admire their dedication. I admire yours. Mega congratulations! You are a success!

I am going gray successfully. The trick is to keep your lipstick on. Graying hair can cause face fade. I carry tinted lip gloss everywhere. Hell, I apply it before class right in front of students. The girls always ask me what it is. (It's by Fresh in a variety of colors!)
Mascara helps a lot too.
Rock it!

I know. And doesn't she look gorgeous in the photo in the post? Damn. I hope I look that good in 15-20 years. She is one of those women who gets better looking as she ages!

Hey, girl, I just go the white cotton bikini briefs route. Nice underwear intimidates me. :)

Go for it! Show your happy mom self to everyone!

What a harrowing experience. I have almost died twice (as in intensive care, surrounded by family). Yet, here I am, healthy and happy years later.
Please be on the lookout for delayed bad emotional feelings. They can be easily navigated if you allow yourself to admit they are just fine to have.
I send you my kindest…

Happy birthday fellow crone! I adore being post menopausal. These really are the best years of life!

You mean something to him. Maybe it was bad timing or something else. But even though he is a decent man, he didn't just let you down gently to be nice. I suspect you do matter to him.

I know next to nothing about luggage. But that cookbook looks great. And I'm not even vegan!
