They should change their name to The Sucky McSuckertons

My dad and I went to see The Chieftains in concert last night. I was really excited all week. Sadly it was a let down (except for the dancing). Between the poor sound system, the coo-coo's swaying and bobbing their heads in front of us and the woman in my perifrail vision checking her phone everying five minutes, it was enough to go a little postal.

We left an hour later during intermission to go have dessert at the French Meadow.

OMG You're so skinny!

Someone at work thought I look skinny today.

The scale doesn't say anything different and I'm far from skinny but I'll take the compliment to keep moving foward.

I donated all my "fat" jeans.

One things for sure, I have to get into the gym again. I've been busy and L-A-Z-Y!

Online dating

I don't like writing the profile.
It becomes trite, corny, generic and impersonal.
Someone do it for me, I have to finish watching Benjamin Button.

Feeling blah

I'm feeling sad today.
Some feeling in my heart feels empty.
I can't find the cause though.
I'm feeling unsettled.
I've got that "I want to run away" feeling.
I worry too much about other people.
I want to fix everything.
I'm restless.
I'm missing someone more than I should.
I need a vacation.

January 25th

Today I turn 38.
My sister turns 19.
She is the same age I was when she was born.
She is half my age; I am twice hers.
Two family members have thought I was going to be 37.
It forced me to do the math.
Nope, I'm still 38.

Because we're twins

My little sister and I have the same birthday. We were born 19 years apart almost to the minute.

She is now going to be 19. For the past couple of years there has been talk of getting a tattoo of the Aquarius symbol. We found our design and I waited until she was ready.

We got our ink done on Saturday night. I am very pleased with how they turned out.

Peanus?

Saw my dad today. He was up walking around - amazing how far he's come!!
I ask him the usual, "how are you feeling"? "What medications are you taking". Etc... I then asked how the incision is where they entered through his groin (they go through the main artery there to get to the heart!).
Asking this question should have had a return of "it's healing well"... right?? Not from my dad:
"It's completely black. The whole area. My scrotum, my peanus, my hip all the way over to the other side. I mean really black. It's unreal".
Oh GAWD! Please don't show me. Please don't show me. Please don't show me.
I try not to look horrified. First, the idea that it is bruised that much. Second, he said scrotum. Third, he said "peanus" pronounced pee-anus. Now, was this a slip of pronunciation or was he referring to his whole nether regions, coming up with a new term?
I was done talking about it and moved on to "oh wow! Look how tiny the nitro pills are"!

Happy New Year!
