On June 28, 2011 The Precious ceased to be an only child. Lump is a lovely little boy. He is already smiling and cooing and doing his best to catch up to his older brother. I know ... http://agingdisgracefully.com/wordpress/2011/08/lump/ I have once again agreed with myself that I should begin blogging again. Since I am very rarely wrong, here I am. I was thinking about how long it has been since I actually wrote and what has happened since then. Oh, where to begin... Picture it...a week ... http://agingdisgracefully.com/wordpress/2011/08/here-we-are-againagain/ I'm lumping these two together because they just weren't my favorites.  I apologize to anyone who ever reads this and happens to be to one of these locations...but I just don't get it.  First we went to Nantucket.  Once you get past all of the limericks it just was kind ... http://agingdisgracefully.com/wordpress/2010/09/nantucket-and-marthas-vineyard/ Boppy was dying to see Provincetown.  He had been there many years before, and wanted to go back even though it wasn't really along the way.  We arrived just about dusk.  The "hot spot" of the area was about two blocks of happening.  Crammed into that space were restaurants, bars, ... http://agingdisgracefully.com/wordpress/2010/09/provincetown-rhode-island/ I survived.  There were four days of hell involving so much pain that I'm not sure I really saw all of the interesting things Boston had to offer...but I'm alive.  And there were days I wasn't sure I would be able to say that. Let me begin by saying that Boston ... http://agingdisgracefully.com/wordpress/2010/09/boston/ Boppy and I are on vacation.  We are currently in Morgantown, West Virginia.  For the next 17 days we will be traveling all over New England.  Today we went to the Kentucky Horse Park.  This is a working horse farm.  It has a museum, lots of exhibits, and it is ... http://agingdisgracefully.com/wordpress/2010/08/vacation/ They have chosen to put The Precious in a pre-school soccer.  Listen once again dear ones...a soccer league for 3 year olds.  Now The Precious knows that a soccer ball is for kicking.  He kicks it until it slams into something and then he raises his chubby little arms and ... http://agingdisgracefully.com/wordpress/2010/08/soccer-tots/ ***This blog is very graphic.  If you are squeamish, put on your big girl panties and deal with it. Menopause sucks.  Of course I finished it in like two minutes, but prior to that I had four solid years of fighting the symptoms.  Recently my doctor prescribed Miss Puss a tiny ... http://agingdisgracefully.com/wordpress/2010/08/maybe-its-best-to-leave-this-untitled/ Boppy and I play slug-bug.  If you have been living under a rock for the last century, slug-bug consists of smacking the person next to you when you see a Volkswagen Beetle.  There are a few rules...these are mostly made up by me, but nonetheless there are rules.  Recently the Volkswagen ... http://agingdisgracefully.com/wordpress/2010/07/bugs/ The Precious has needed a haircut for quite some time.  Knowing how he behaves when his hair is cut, we have avoided this process.  At least once a week we ask, "do you want to get your haircut?"  The answer is usually said in a scream as he runs as ... http://agingdisgracefully.com/wordpress/2010/07/the-haircut/
