Officially one month in to the Year of Being 59 and all is going well. Visited a few more new restaurants and planned my first big and new trip for the year of adventure. Heading to Breckenridge in March to visit my cousin and try my hand at some winter activities. Having never vacationed in cold weather, I’m not sure what to expect except to be very cold! Ha! I will need to purchase some warmer clothing, but I’ve got time to work on that. I’m furiously riding the exercise bike my aunt bestowed on me to try and get myself at least up to being able tromp through the snow enough to deserve a glass of wine in the evening.
A few months ago I was “adopted” by a group of local women into their Friend Zone and have been having fun with them. We haven’t come up with a name for our group yet, and still some conversation as to whether we are a gang or a club. I’m going with Gulf Coast Gang or GCG for short. We had our first Thanksmas Holiday dinner last weekend and much fun and laughter ensued. In some ways, a group of women together in a bunch never get much past 16 years old, and it can be so much fun!
My other “new” experience this month? Mississippi has finally joined most of the rest of the country in Lottery-mania, and while the regular Lottery tickets won’t be sold until the 2020 they started selling scratch-off tickets within the last month. Being a dutiful citizen and honor bound to support education, I went with a friend to the local grocery story in Gautier and purchased $20 worth of scratch-off tickets. After furiously scratching for about five minutes it became clear that the famous Sasser Luck was in play and it was quite possibly the quickest $20 I had ever lost. On the plus side, I am now cured of my five minute gambling addiction, so I got that going for me.
The holidays are full upon us, and if no more writing ensues before then I wish you all a very Happy Hanukkah and Merry Christmas!
That Sassy Age
