1. Just to review, I was suppose to be in Italy in mid March, at exactly the same time that  everything was shutting down. Even if we hadn’t voluntarily pulled the plug on the vacay, we couldn’t have flown into Italy anyways at that point. In my disappoint and frustration I found myself texting a friend or two every day or so, “I WAS SUPPOSE TO BE IN ITALY RIGHT NOW!” including Linda whom I was scheduled to travel with.  We’re not looking at this as a cancelled trip, but rather a postponed one. #WineWontSpoil #CheeseMight

2. I must confess that during this Stay Home Order I’ve become quite adept at ordering using DoorDash, GrubHub, Postmates and UberEats.  I tend to use the one that has a “no deliver fee” offer because…well, there’s no other way to put it, I’m a cheap bastard.

3. It should come as no surprise to anyone that my baggy jeans, well, are no longer baggy. #ThanksDoorDash #ThanksGrubHub #ThanksPostMates #ThanksUberEats

3. Please explain to me during this time of social distancing how at official press conferences people in authority are still sharing the same microphone. Even without a pandemic, that’s just gross.

4. I realized something was shifting dramatically in my universe when I had the fleeting desire to go shopping; it went away thank God.  #I’mNotYourTypicalGirl

5. I almost want to take the hour and change and drive to Burbank to check this out.  I remember the car hops at the Bob’s Big Boy on Whittier Blvd when I was a little girl. As an aside, Actor Danny Trejo admitted he once robbed this particular Bob’s. #AncientHistory

7. I took this photo up in Ashland, Oregon, Christmas morning while taking a walk with Sydney Rose.  I’m thinking this would make a great puzzle.  Click to see full view!

8. I’m one of the lucky ones who gets to work from home. That being said, I’m putting in more hours than ever just because I can.  I don’t bill for that extra time, but if there’s an email, I’ll respond.  If someone sends over request for information, I’ll provide it. It’s not that I’m a workaholic, it’s that I can’t stand being idle! I enjoy being productive!

9. I like looking at those lists people will post on Facebook where it’s 10 famous people they say they’ve met, but one is not true. The same with concerts, and now jobs they’ve had. So here goes, a list of jobs I’ve held, but one is not true.

1. Radio DJ
2. Editor-in-Chief National Magazine
3. Inspector Construction Management
4. Clothing Store clerk
5. Newspaper Columnist
6. Webmaster
7. Bob’s Big Boy waitress
8. Sandpaper sales rep
9. Private Investigator
10. Concert Photographer

10. I always thought that there should be a fragrance that smells like sugar cookies. If you know of one, do tell. #NotKidding

11. At least once a week while walking the senior pups, I’ll put on a plastic glove and I’ll reuse a plastic produce bag to pick up trash, mostly cigarette butts. I can’t believe people are still tossing their butts on the ground.  All trash eventually ends up in the storm drains which eventually drains directly into the ocean.  There are no filters, and it’s disgusting. Tonight’s take was over 50 butts. #EarthDay2020

12. From my favorite quotes file: “The Earth is what we all have in common.” – Wendell Berry
