Grandma only had 1 boyfriend...and she married him.
Almost everybody I know went through several boyfriends before the wedding date.
Grandpa worked one job. I think he called it a career.
Almost everybody I know has been through enough jobs they have to think to count them all.
Grandma has the same phone number she's had since moving into her house when my mom was 8 years old.
We can't seem to keep the same phone number for more than 5 years.
We sure seem like a restless generation...

I've heard of a makeup artist and I've heard of an escape artist. They say people can be anything they want these days. I'd like to be a makeup-escape artist. I will escape makeup artistically. Now how do I get my own show?

Sometimes things have a way of working out. Our son got potty-trained just in time to return a big box of diapers, which gave us money to buy my dad a birthday present. Life must be a circle of good luck.

The librarian's quirks:
-Had several conversations with herself, unless she thought she was conversing with the books...
-Randomly mentioned cats-big cat lady...
-She has a fun meter-there's a little fun to be had but when the meter's out, it is OUT-there will be no more fun!
-Thinks a book makes an ideal best friend. So sad...no book would encourage you to jump off a bench in Wal-mart, doing a toe-touch on your way down...
-Thinks trips to historical sites are a big adventure. Who needs Disneyland when there's the Liberty Bell?

Labor Day

I've learned that sometimes in life you can't always ride your bicycle for the whole day all over town with your seat belt on and the pedal to the metal uphill both ways in the fast lane-that's too exhausting. You can, however, sit on somebody else's handlebars and demand that they push you around.

You know how you can tell that you're going to lose at Solitaire but you keep playing anyway? There are NO aces and you just keep thinking, "somehow this might work out" or that overused phrase "you never know..." Well, guess what? You do know-You Will Lose!!!
