Blog Post #1: What the heck is this?

A few weeks ago, as I was pondering the unavoidable fact that the age range I have to check on forms is getting closer and closer to the end, I made a decision: I’m ready for some adventure. Oh, not that my life has been non-adventurous, but it has been somewhat bland for the last few years.

That is about to change.

Starting this month, I will do at least one thing I’ve never done every month. In fact, I plan to embrace new experiences as often as possible. With unlimited time and resources I’d hit a new country every month and see the world! Not really a possibility given current circumstances but wouldn’t it be nice? I’ll settle instead for a few new places and lots of new experiences. This could be fun…

So far this month, I’ve eaten at three new restaurants and visited my first Buc-ee’s truck stop outside Mobile, Alabama. If you haven’t been to Buc-ee’s, picture what you would have if a Wal Mart and a Bass Pro Shop had a baby. Or maybe a Target went on a bender. Whatever it was there were about nine million varieties of jerky and at least 326 different t-shirt slogans, all containing some variation of the word “Southern.” It was awesome!

My actual birthday is the 15th, and I have a lovely day off work planned featuring a massage, a nap, and dinner with friends. These are all things I’ve done before, but my “big” new experience this month is yet to come. Stay tuned…

And now, a few words about the author

If you can’t tell from the title, I’m a woman of a certain age, rapidly approaching senior citizen status but determined to do so with a “Sassy” attitude. All kinds of opportunities present themselves and I plan to take advantage of as many as I can without compromising my values or breaking a hip. Care to join me?
