Got TP?

Ok, so I had a random thought that has always been there but never really realized.

How's this for weird but true: Have you ever gone to use the restroom at someone else's home only to discover that there is not enough toilet paper left, and you don't know what to do?
Do you open doors and try to find some? Is there kleenex or paper towels around? Not likely. It's a real quandry.

This has happened to me too many times. Thus I make sure that when I have guests, I set out an extra roll in plain sight, just in case.

hee hee. You know you know what I'm talking about but don't want to admit. Pretty awkward to holler through the door to your host " Hey!!! I need more toilet paper! Where is it in here?!"

Or worse yet, when you try to find some in places you'd expect it to be and there is none. What now?

What would Miss Manners say?

Misfortunes or Miracles?

2019 has had a bit of a rough start for me some would say. Recently, a well meaning person said "I'm so sorry to hear of all your misfortunes" .  That struck me because, in spite of some setbacks, I truly don't feel I'm the victim of misfortune. No, I'm not a " Pollyanna". I have my down days. But I have decided in recent years to do my best to have a positive outlook and accept difficulties as opportunities and look for the blessings. This is not easy and doesn't always come naturally. It takes practice and sometimes it works and sometimes, not so much. So, let's start with what has happened in these first few months of this new year. 1.   On Feb. 17th, I suffered a broken ankle.  I was participating in a special "ladies only" motorcycle slow skills practice event. This had been planned for months and was, I believe, the first of it's kind in this area. I had been so excited and looking forward to it. For a motorcycl...

Never in My Wildest Dreams - Utah trip conclusion

Image
The trip I planned for months in minute detail ,watched almost a bazillion YouTube videos of the route I would be taking and stressed over riding The Hog's Back has come to a successful conclusion. Of course, things did not go exactly as I planned. How dare Mother Nature mess up my detailed planning!  LOL.  Unexpected things and plan adaptations make for an adventure and stories to tell. I traveled solo on my 2016 Harley Davidson Heritage Classic motorcycle for 8 days. 1587 miles total. Seemingly constantly assessing the weather and outrunning the rain and storms, using all of my warm and cold weather gear and finally ending with a 534 mile ride home in one day. I arrived home exhausted, sore and exhilarated. In spite of rain and adapting plans, I got to do pretty much everything I wanted. I did not get to hike in Bryce Canyon, but that was ok. It was my 3rd trip there and I've hiked it before. Also didn't get to hike in Capital Reef national park due t...

Yes I AM still.................

So, a friend recently pointed out to me that I have now been divorced longer than I was married. When I got divorced I remember adamantly telling my friends I would be remarried within a year. And then I went out and hit the bars and dating sites hard. Because I HAD to be married. I was naive, broken and had almost no self esteem.  I was in a roller coaster marriage for 16 years. Alcohol, drugs, chronic unemployment,  some verbal abuse, some sexual abuse near the end and finally infidelity. No, I wouldn't change my decision. I loved him, stuck to my vows until the infidelity and my past experiences shaped me into who I am now. I've now been officially divorced for almost 18 years. Time flies. And through this single phase of my life I have had to battle the stigma of being "so long divorced". The endless questions about "How's your love life?"  " Are you dating?"   "Any men in your life?" "Why can't you find a husband?...
