 Short girl problems … when you are only 5 feet tall, when you buy dresses, skirts and pants, you have to factor in the cost of hemming each garment.  Some brands have “petite” sizes, but most do not … on Saturday I took several new items to my tailor. You don’t want to know what it’s costing me.   And then there’s the supermarket issue …asking strangers to grab an item from the top shelf because I can’t reach it. Ugh. But I’m pleased to report I have an absolutely brilliant son-in-law.  He fixed a problem we were having with our smart TV. Yay! We messed it up while streaming Star Trek: Strange New Worlds.  Really enjoying the series.  Next up will be Discovery  followed by Star Fleet Academy . We’ve also also have to catch up with Dr. Who, we haven’t seen the most recent Doctor … We’ve also been streaming The Pitt . Great show. Streaming … what a different world. I remember when broadcast TV was the only option, when cable was considered cutting edge....

Saturday 9

  Won't You Be My Valentine? Welcome to  Saturday: 9 . What we've committed to our readers is that we will post 9 questions every Saturday. Sometimes the post will have a theme, and at other times the questions will be totally unrelated. Those weeks we do "random questions," so-to-speak. We encourage you to visit other participants posts and leave a comment. Because we don't have any rules, it is your choice. We hate rules. We love memes, however, and here is today's meme!   Saturday 9: Won't You Be My Valentine? (1961)   Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it  here .   1) Dore Alpert sings that while he considered asking others to be his Valentine, he's sure that this is the girl he wants to love "forever more." What do you think is the secret of a long-lasting romantic relationship? If there really is a secret I wish someone would tell me.  Relationships always require effort to maintain. 2) Dore is better known as Herb Alpert. He us...

 Someone ( I won’t mention any names but she has white paws) found herself in the doghouse the other day.  She was sitting in my lap when she decided my arm would make a great scratching post.  She actually drew blood … And then she had the temerity to growl at me when I put a stop to her antics …someone got a manicure… And she ran to Daddy to be consoled.   She’s lucky she’s so cute… Both cats seem to think that kicking litter out of the box is an Olympic sport, and they’re both going for the gold. Why I need to wipe down the countertops over and over again The latest addition to my bookcase   My workout buddy Someone was sitting at the table … waiting to be fed? Lazy Sunday Doing the “cute thing” Sunbathing

(In my best Margaret Hamilton impersonation) It’s melting!   Yes, the snow is finally starting to melt.   There’s still a lot of snow blocking sidewalks, though. And considering yesterday’s icy  incident … I’m not comfortable taking a walk through the neighborhood just yet. I don’t mind walking in cold weather— I did it last year — but when the streets and sidewalks are dangerously icy … no, thanks. We had a Super Bowl party at work last week.  The football decor has now been replaced with …no, not Valentine’s Day hearts …but the shamrocks of St. Patrick’s Day.  A bit premature, but a glimmer of spring. Another hopeful sign … Pitchers and catchers have reported to spring training.  Games begin a week from tomorrow.   Maybe this year the Mets will get their act together…
