The Fabulousness of Forty-something

I just turned two score and six years a few weeks back and lemme tell you, I'm not as upset as most Hollywood-types would have had me believe. In fact, I'm not bothered by it at all. Maybe it's because I was already braced for it, but I think that bein' closer to the Big Five-Oh…

Ever Have One of Those Days?

  I'll tell you what. Some days just aren't worth getting outta bed for, ya' know? As positive and optimistic as this peppy chick strives to be, some days just do their d*mndest to prove my Silver Lining theory W-R-O-N-G.
