Tis The Season To Be Jolly--Yeah, Right

Is anyone really, really jolly this time of year? I don't feel so jolly sometimes. Don't get me wrong . . . I'm lucky. I've got a job and my health and my kids are healthy (but have no money). I've scaled back on my buying this year because (1) it's all really a bunch of crap out there (2) I don't have as much money this year as I've had in the past and (3) I really don't need anything. I've told my family only 2 presents a piece this year and I've stuck to it. But then I watch all the news stories on how so many others do without this time of year and all during the year. I've tried to do my part. I adopted a family, given to the Salvation Army, etc. but I wish I could do more and I wish I could help everybody but I can't. So I'm not feeling so jolly.

Now I Too Can Be Time's Person of the Year

I've got to start blogging. I mean I have been chosen as one of Time's "Person of the Year." My face is even on the cover of the magazine. I've got an image to uphold now.

But where the heck does one begin??? I mean my life really is quite boring. At least I think it's boring. I've worked at the same place for 27 years, lived in the same house for 20 years, kids are grown (but not out of my hair), have a dog, own a home and watch Grey's Anatomy. If that's not exciting I don't know what is.

I'm a single 54 year old woman and at times it just sucks. I mean, try finding a good man at 54 years old. It's next to impossible. I've done all the "legit" dating sites. Oh man . . . you have no idea. I'll publish some of the responses I get every now and then.

So help me out here . . . give me the skinny on how to be the ultimate Blogger. Once I figure out how to post some pics I will do it but until then check out my face on the Time cover! Oh wait, I think you are also on the Time cover.
