Holiday Crafts
There is a Holiday
Craft Faire at Evergreen High School on November 15 & 16.
Janis gave me a flyer and when I "unearth" it......I
will update the info.
Westfield Shopping
Don't forget if
you want a Westfield shopping pass, let me know so I can reserve
you one. They are only $5(tax deductible) for shopping on
Sunday, Nov. 16th from 7-10 pm. There are discounts at all
the stores, raffle prizes and free food tasting. It's great
to get a jump on Christmas shopping. It can be used at Valley
Fair or the new Oakridge. I personally would like to meet
for dinner at Oakridge(one of the new restaurants) and then shop
there. Anyone else game for that? Please let me know soon...
Randi :-)

e-MAIL TIDBIT
I've seen two shows lately
that went on and on about how mid-life is a great time for women.
Just last week Oprah had a whole show on how great menopause will
be....
Puhleeeeeeeze!
I've had a few thoughts of my own and would like to share them
with you.
Whether you are pushing
40, 50, 60 (or maybe even just pushing your luck) you'll probably
relate.
Mid-life is when the growth of hair on our legs slows down. This
gives us plenty of time to care for our newly acquired mustache.
In mid-life women no longer have upper arms,we have wingspans.
We are no longer women in sleeveless shirts, we are flying squirrels
in drag.
Mid-life is when you can stand naked in front of a mirror and
you can see your rear without turning around.
Mid-life is when you go for a mammogram and you realize that this
is the only time someone will ask you to appear topless.
Mid-life is when you want to grab every firm young lovely in a
tube top and scream, "Listen honey, even the Roman empire
fell and those will too."
Mid-life brings wisdom to know that life throws us curves and
we're sitting on our biggest ones.
Mid-life is when you look at your-know-it-all, beeper-wearing
teenager and think: "For this I have stretch marks?"
In mid-life your memory starts to go. In fact the only thing we
can retain is water.
Mid-life means that your Body By Jake now includes Legs By Rand
McNally -- more red and blue lines than an accurately scaled map
of Wisconsin.
Mid-life means that you become more reflective... You start pondering
the "big" questions. What is life? Why am I here? How
much Healthy Choice ice cream can I eat before it's no longer
a healthy choice?
But mid-life also brings with it an appreciation for what is important.
We realize that breasts sag, hips expand and chins double, but
our loved ones make the journey worthwhile. Would any of you trade
the knowledge that you have now for the body you had way back
when?
Maybe our bodies simply have to expand to hold all the wisdom
and love we've acquired.
That's my philosophy and I'm sticking to it!
REMEMBER: "Stressed" spelled backward is "desserts."
