The struggle is real. The older I get the more invisible I become. This has its bad points...and lots of good.  The bad is that when I was younger I attracted a lot of attention, some if it purposeful and lots of it not. Tall, ridiculously long hair, and lots of snarky comebacks and comments. People listened to me, men wanted to be with me, women felt comfortable with me.

Now, I can be my witty, outgoing self but it all falls into an empty bucket of who-gives-a-shit. Great. Now I can just stop trying to impress, attract, outdo, or befriend everyone. Whew. That's a relief. Time to face the rest of my life thinking of what I want to do/say/wear/be.

Not to be a prig or anything...

I have never liked soda. Even as a kid, I realized I should like it as it was a treat and all that. But it just kind of burned my throat and tasted too sweet. I didn't get the good times everyone seemed to have when they drank it in those commercials. I consider myself lucky to have this aversion, especially when I read this infographic about how it affects the body.  Coke Does A Body Bad

I love old typewriters. I love new technology. They got married and it is a beautiful thing.

Jazz Hands Save The Day

Sometimes life is hard. I wake up at 3:00am and it's too early to get up, but my mind races like this: *blue ball mania* so the only way to reset all the crazy is laugh out loud. This makes me laugh. Every time: Jazz Hands

Filed Under: Typewriter Love

I learned to type on a manual typewriter as a senior in high school. Keyboard was blank. We were required to look up at the model clipped to the blackboard. I was very good at typing. I think the nuns were relieved as I clearly was not headed for college and they felt I could leave school with a marketable skill. They were correct.
