Older Than Dirt Quiz | Midlife Nostalgia Makes You Smile

Older Than Dirt Quiz | Midlife Nostalgia Makes You Smile

This was sent to me via email from an 85-year-old woman. It is amazing to me how she uses a computer and email. Can you even wrap your head around the technology advancements this woman has experienced? The iPhone, iPad, Cable Television, or Google News was nonexistent. For that matter, even computers were a science fiction sort of thing. OMG!   Entertainment  We didn’t have a television in our house until I was 16. – -  It was, of course, black and white, and the station went off the air at midnight, after playing the national anthem and a poem about God; it came back on the air at about 6 a.m. and there was usually a locally produced news and farm show on, featuring local people.  Communication I never had a telephone in my room. – - The only phone in the house was in the living room and it was on a party line. Before you could dial,...

Puppies or Babies | An Epic Battle of Cuteness

Puppies or Babies | An Epic Battle of Cuteness

This post brought to you by Puppies vs. Babies. All opinions are 100% mine. Animal Planet is ready to rumble… Puppies versus Babies! Oh my gosh this is too funny. Reminds me of the America’s Funniest Home Video TV show our family used to enjoy so much. That’s why I agreed to sponsor this post. Fond recollections of family time are priceless and need to be emphasized. The lead in for this TV show is brilliant, both species of offspring seem to instantly create a warm, fuzzy feeling. Aaawww look how cute, you have heard it said and probably said something similar as well. It is a natural reaction for baby lovers regardless of the species. Puppies versus Babies airs Oct 29th and continues through November. In this epic battle of cute, only one can emerge victorious… puppies or babies and kittens too! The promo video exclaims, “Get ready for the ultimate clash of cute!” Check out the Puppies vs....

Allergy or Zombie Virus?

Allergy or Zombie Virus?

Sometimes it’s hard to tell whether you have plain old allergies or something more sinister like, say, a zombie virus. We’re here to help! It’s important to know if you’re in danger of spreading an apocalyptic virus to your loved ones, coworkers or laundry guy, so here’s how you can tell the difference between allergy symptoms (even severe ones) and a full-fledged zombie virus. A rash can accompany both an allergic reaction and a zombie virus. Mild allergy rashes may itch. Zombie rashes are not so much raised and itchy as they are cavernous oozing wounds that seep gore. If you ask your spouse to look at your rash and he or she gasps in horror and slowly backs away, chances are that you have a zombie virus. If your spouse has this reaction to a regular allergy rash, tell them cowboy up, get the cortizone and call the advice nurse. Honestly, this is marriage. They’ll see worse. You...

Follow Friday|40 and Over Midlife Top Blogs 5

Well another week has come and gone. Time sure passes quickly these days. Seems as though the Follow Friday Over 40 Top 5 arrive more quickly each week. Wonder if this expediting has something to do with the midlife phase or how much fun they are to partake. Hope your Independence Day was filled with family, friends, and incredible food! This was the first year we didn’t buy fireworks or have a big shindig but rather a relaxing day of movies and yes lots of traditional 4th of July food. Admittedly, I enjoyed this midlife occurrence. Anyhow, I whipped up a new version of deviled eggs adding Zesty Blends sour cream with Jalapenos. Sprinkled with smoked paprika, they were quite yummy I must say. You see, I hosted a Sour Cream House Party a few weeks back. Yes, I said sour cream party, funny right. Sponsored by Breakstone’s, the House Party offered participation in tasting and testing their new...

Follow Friday|40 and Over Top Midlife Blogs #3

It’s Follow Friday already!  I don’t about you all but oh boy my week really flew by fast. The week has been full of twists and turns. Just today I heard the experts reporting the double dip housing recession was confirmed with the release of the S&P/Case-Shiller housing price index. To that I say, well thank you very much to the federal government for falsely puffing up the market with tax dollars and credits! After 20 years this midlife woman has to look for work outside hubby’s company and outside the home. Geez I never expected the poor economic conditions would last this long! Tomorrow I have another job interview. I never imagined having to interview at midlife much less be nervous about it! One thing is for sure, some things in life are out of our control regardless of our decisions. The good thing is I’m finding opportunities and I know God has the plan already written. Experiencing these last three years, I’m definitely ready...

The Follow Friday Blog Hop gives me an opportunity to escape from the stressful madness. The top five midlife blog picks for this week are: Katherine’s Corner – Katherine was born in England and moved to the USA as a teen.
