Well it's official.  We've made the switch.  After weeks of watching the same 5 episodes of Dancing with the Stars over and over again (yes... the one with Jennifer Grey and the Palin chick.... how long has it been since that was actually a current show?).......  I've finally and successfully switched to "The Golden Girls".   It wasn't me that made the switch, it was actually the goddess angel Linda.  When she was caring for Mum in the summer, she got Mum watching it.  Well, time went by, Dancing with the Stars ended and all I was left with were distant memories of the happy times I had, over the summer, with Linda here, caring for Mum..... and the PVR'd episodes of Dancing with the Stars.   Watching them over and over and over again.  I truly thought that I would stick my head in a pot of boiling water if I ever had to hear that tune that starts off their show...  "da da da da da da daaaa..... da da da da dah!  Just kill me.

But now it's the Golden Girls.  On every evening @ 6:30 on W.   I have it PVR'd, and I'll tell you something, we all remember the show.. but I'll betcha none of you have watched it in a while, and it's freakin' funny.  So funny, that it actually makes me laugh out loud.  Good, solid, comedy.  Funny as hell.   Give it a whirl again if any of you can.   It's a hoot.
What a day ... what a day!    I thought I would follow up and let you know just how the waxing went... and it went great.  My friend tried some new products on me to reduce the redness and puffiness that always follows, because my skin is so sensitive and she hit the jackpot.  It worked.  I look normal, instead of a bloated, aged Jack Klugman after a vodka binge!!! Don't get me wrong, it hurt like hell, but it's worth it.   I also had the pleasure of a hot stone massage.  She gave me a 15 minute trial to see if I liked it or not...... and I did.  Never had one before, but will definately have to try the whole 1.5 hrs.   Just as soon as one of my kids moves out, and I can maybe afford it.

This afternoon, I had to weed through Mum's closet again, and clear out the clothes that do not fit her anymore.  I can see it now, family members that haven't been here in a while are goingto visit this year, take one look at Mum and think "gawd... we should have placed her with the skinny sister!!!!!"   Yes, she has put on quite a bit of weight, but I think she looks amazing!   However, I think that it's time to curb on the sweets, as she is beginning to pull out of the size 12 now.   Its the lack of activity, combined with her sweet tooth that's doing it.  Mum was always so active.  Walking to Kelly's, the mall etc.  Running after Dad, kids etc.  Now she is taking it easy.   She folds alot of laundry, so she has wicked guns..... but it's funny how you just wind down and lose steam.   For almost 80 though, she's a pretty spry cracker!!!
The one thing that never changes, that is always a constant is this......  Women:   no matter how old, or how disoriented we get, when those pants won't do up...... it's STILL the dryer's fault!!!

peace out.
