About Me
I am old, fat, funny, and caring. I have never been sensible or ordinary or average, nor do I have the slightest desire to be so. I have absolutely no money, my flowers die from lack of watering, I buy the cheapest cat food legally sold, and my children are, in retrospect, perfect. I would die without music. I love holidays that require a family reunion, especially Christmas. I do my sleeping in the mornings, so do not call me before noon unless I have won the Publisher's Clearing House Sweepstakes. Undisciplined children are the devil's spawn, and people who do not have a lot of books in their homes are boring. My cat is old and purrs funny. My husband puts up with a lot from me and is to be admired for his effort. I can not walk past a person in need, words are my weapon of choice, and I love people in general even when I am intolerant of stupidity. However, even taking all that into account, I'm a nice person and if you read my journal I'll go read yours. Public schools in general are going down the terlet, and the school system in this community is run by politicians, used car salesmen, and Satan himself.
Never mind the turtle. Don't you think you're sure to win?
I never win. I don't always lose, but I never win.
