It’s time for a Gladys rant… yes sometimes Gladys goes off on a tangent. This time it is a conspiracy theory. It is a communist plot of epic proportions. It is a wrong that must be righted. It is a mystery that must be solved… It is October 16. That means we are sixteen days into October. You are reading this and thinking, so. So? So! So why can’t I find any pumpkin spice coffee creamer? Fall is going to be over, the season will have ended and I will not have gotten my Pumpkin Spice Coffee Mate. See I told you it was a communist plot.

*I am in no way affiliated with Coffee-mate but should they want to send me a case of Sugar Free Pumpkin Spice Non Dairy Creamer please email me immediately! 

PS Go to the bottom of my page and click on the Coffee-mate button.  This is not an ad and I do not make any money from it.  It is to help women get presentable clothes to go on job interviews.  Go on go click you know you want to. :)

I am sure all of you saw the GIANT UFO shaped balloon that was flying over Fort Collins with a little 6 year old boy in it only he wasn’t. Do you think that the dad just wanted everyone to see what he built so they told 9-1-1 that he was? What did that call sound like?

Man: Hi, yeah a big silver UFO got loose from my back yard and my six year old son is in it.

9-1-1 Operator: Sir, how much have you had to drink?

I got sent this in an e-mail the other day and thought I would share it with you. I found it very interesting for several reasons.

I had to mail a couple of packages this week and there is a UPS store down the street. Thinking this would be most convenient I loaded up my boxes and headed down the hill to the store. I fetched my packages from the back of the car and teetered up the counter. “You want to mail those?” came the bored voice of the counter person. Then from somewhere in the back came another voice “No dumbass, she is just out taking them for a walk and wants to know if you can watch them while she goes to Starbucks.”

Damn I hate it when someone else beats me to a smart assed remark.

 I am an agoraphobic and every outing is an adventure for me, ok not really I'm just a homebody. I went to Target. I was in the make-up department and overheard this tidbit from two octogenarian women:
Woman #1: Have you ever tried this Jamima Kidd (she meant Jemma Kidd) stuff?
Woman # 2: Yeah it’s pretty good but I like Mrs. Butterworth’s better.

Um which would you smear on your face?

Which leads me to another question...Where is MR. Butterworth?

It is back in the 90’s here after our short bout with autumn. Honestly it amazes me how the media makes a catastrophe out of everything. It doesn’t rain and it’s a catastrophic drought. The winds blow and it is catastrophic fire weather. It sprinkles and we have catastrophic mudslide watches. What’s next? Catastrophic sunshine?

Now here are some things that make me happy:

Long walks with my hubby and the dogs

Friends

(This guy may be flying you to your next destination, he's a pilot)

Dancing

Family

What are you doing this weekend? Watching football? Gathering your recipes in anticipation of Thanksgiving? Me, yep you guessed it I’m headed to the beach.

Now go on and be good to one another and remember thoughts become things, think good ones.
