I think I'll do small posts now and then of a thing that made me smile, happy reminders, grateful moments. Kicking it off with this: When clearing out a shelf in the small pantry I came across a little piece of happiness that I thought I had seen the last of from Italy. There's one … Continue reading This Made Me Smile

What do you mean it's not all about me?
I'm goofy, I'm geeky, I'm a bit emo, I'm living in Italy!
Covid Commentary 3
I miss lipstick. Covid rules means I have worn a mask outside the house since March and also means I haven't worn lipstick, lip liner, lip stain at all and I kinda miss it.

Officially a Cranky Crone
It's official, I've reached old lady status. I am sick of putting thought, effort and money into a gift for someone in the younger generations and not even get acknowledgement that they received it let alone a thank you.

Existential Crisis
I'm slowly beginning to wonder if I actually exist if I'm not active on Facebook. Existential crisis or emo drama queen... you tell me. haha Conversely, have I ever noticed if anyone on my friends list took a break from Facebook without announcing it? My sphere of influence has cut down to husband, parents, daughter-in-law, … Continue reading Existential Crisis
