Dumb thoughts: December 2005 Archives

I'm taking the sage and wonderful advice of a reader who suggested, in a way, that I seriously need to chill. Somehow I found a little, actually a lot, of Christmas spirit today.

Recently I received cards from two long-time friends that I don't deserve to ever hear from again because I am a terrible correspondent - something that I plan to rectify this evening after this entry. That made me very happy. My California friend sent these incredible spiced pecans. Oh, my. I have to hide them from my family. They're called Jeffrey's Best Spiced Pecans. You can order them by calling 831-899-0992. It's nice to be remembered.

Then . . .over the last ten days or so, two of my friends have had some interesting changes in their lives.

Somebody needs to explain to me why it is that when some women begin to lose their estrogen it turns them into psychotic amnesiacs. If men have less estrogen than us even as ours is declining, why don't they burst into tears at virtually nothing, snap at imagined slights by confused family members, and forget that delicate desserts are overbaking while we inspect the ever growing sags mounting around our chin lines?

SOMEBODY EXPLAIN THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
