I woke up early this morning and decided that today would be the day I would find a solution to the pitiful state of the economy, bring about world peace and discover a cure for male pattern baldness.

But I didn’t have any clean underwear so I had to do the laundry instead.

So yeah, that didn’t happen.

I hope all of you had a wonderful time during the holidays. Ours was nice. Full of love, peace, family and friends and too much good food. (I gained back ten of the thirty pounds I lost during the summer).

I didn’t make any New Year’s resolutions this year. I’ve had a whole year to improve my lifestyle and I failed miserably, so I didn’t figure a list was going to motivate me all that much. Besides, I’ve been having some issues. So many in fact that I’m like a lifetime magazine subscription.

First of all there was the aging thing. It has taken me a while to come to terms with my last birthday. But hey, I may be 58 but I’ve still got it. I don’t often know what to do with it, or even where I left it most of the time, but I’ve still got it. I would like to take this time to thank all of you for your encouraging comments on my previous post where I whined about my age.

I hate being depressed like that. Thank goodness for mood enhancing drugs. This is the first post I have written in months. I have been spending most of my time watching TV and crocheting. I’ve made seven afghans, three scarves, a cover for the ottoman in my office and several pairs of slippers. And a partridge in a pear tree.

My crocheted slippers keep my toes warm and toasty, even though the bows look more like mouse ears. Oops!

Well, not really that last thing. I can’t crochet a tree OR a partridge. But I did learn to crochet slippers and they are so warm and cozy. I just love them since I never wear shoes inside the house. They keep my  feet warm and toasty and it’s almost like being barefoot only better.

Maybe I should have crocheted some extra underwear.  All these world problems aren’t going to fix themselves, now are they?
