The folks at Sunday Stealing rip off a meme from another blogger each Sunday. They give full credit and a link back to that author’s site, of course — and invite everyone to play along. This week, “The Sometimes Meme” comes from KJ at KJ’s World.

The Sometimes Meme

Sometimes I just need a quiet day like today to sleep late, lounge around the house in my p.j.’s, and enjoy not having to be at a particular place at a specific time.

Sometimes I want to go back to school to get my Ph.D. Then I snap out of it.

Sometimes I like to crawl into bed with Sophie and watch a good chick flick like Sex and the City.

There really are not enough hours in the day. Or the week. Or the month. And the years are certainly elapsing too quickly. How can it possibly be October again?

If I had a small sum for every great article I have written in my head at various times when I did not have access to a computer to memorialize it, I could probably retire. But I am determined to stem the tide of ideas and words flowing out of my memory bank before they are captured on a hard drive: I have joined the legion of laptop computer owners.

The folks at Sunday Stealing rip off a meme from another blogger each Sunday. They give full credit and a link back to that author’s site, of course — and invite everyone to play along. This week, “The Aging Meme” comes from Eva at A Striped Armchair.  She was tagged by Emily.

The Aging Meme

At a certain age women should accept that time is marching on and dress in an age-appropriate manner.  That means that if you are a woman over the age of 40, you should definitely abandon the spandex pants, tube tops, and micro-mini skirts . . . and never even consider showing your midriff.  If you were stupid enough to pierce your tongue at a younger age, take out that ridiculous stud that prevents you from properly enunciating your words.  Ditto any adornment of your eyebrows or nose.

At a certain age men should embrace their bald spot or baldness.  It’s just a fact of life.  The last time my 21-year-old son had his hair cut, our stylist broke the news that his hair is already beginning to thin.  And given that she has been cutting his hair his entire life — I have photos of her giving him his first haircut when he was less than a year old — she is familiar with the manner in which his hair grows and, unfortunately, her observation is accurate.

When I was a kid I thought I would marry, move away, and never again live in Lodi.
