Excitement, Thy Name Is The Dollar Store

October17

Today I spent running around doing errands that I had put off way too long. You know the kind. Paying bills, crunching numbers, getting groceries. I finally had a decent pay week, and on top of that, I went through my “wish” list and picked up a couple of things I was really needing, like a new desk chair. Putting it together was a pain in the ass, by the way. I think whomever packed my box got a cheap thrill out of putting the stickers on wrong, because it took me two hours to put four pieces together because the stickers didn’t match up. Bastard.

Anyway, normally I don’t like to shop because most the time I’m broke. My biggest thrill of the day was wandering through the dollar store with an extra ten bucks. Oh, where do I blow it? In the crafts aisle, or maybe some new auto accessories I don’t need or can’t use? How about some useless ugly trinket for the coffee table?

I ended up with ten buck’s worth of dish soap, laundry soap, containers, picture frames, and a roll of aluminum foil.

My life is so exciting I can hardly stand it.

Welcome to Over Forty and Loving It! We’re just getting started, but we’re bringing women over forty the information they need and want. With our hormones deserting us, our kids leaving the house, we believe women should look forward to this stage of their lives. It’s not always pretty, not always easy, but we feel if you just keep an open mind, along with a wicked sense of humor, it can be fun.

You might be wondering, who are we? We’re two old friends who have nearly a hundred years of experience between us. We’ve both worked as nurses, as writers, love music and enjoy traveling whenever possible.  We know the joys and devastation of relationships. So here we are! Enjoy!
