When I retire

Today I received an excellent e-mail entitled Happy IVGLDSW Day! Which stands for Today is International Very Good Looking, Damn Smart Woman's Day. In part the e-mail reads," Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, wine in the other, body throughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!"

I have often said I will not go gently......... I also love another well known poem that is called WARNING first line," When I am an old woman I shall wear purple......... " Well I'm getting there and it's ok. In the class I am currently taking I am learning so much. I used to think when I retire I might get a job at an airline or airport, how hard can it be to announce "Now boarding flight 451 to Miami...." or I would like to work at Barnes and Noble or maybe not work anymore at all. I could wake up whenever I wake up and do whatever I please or nothing if I please.

I used to think this computer could get out of this house, what would I need it for? Now I know I need it to make money on my "Granny Blog" all sorts of companies will want to advertise on my site because it will be a big hit. Or maybe I'll write on wikis all day some days. The thing is it is not so far away.
