I was actually folding my husband's t-shirts recently after pulling his laundry out of the dryer, and found it somewhat calming. I associated it a bit with nesting. Do other women enjoy domestic activities because it gives them this same peaceful sense? I asked myself...

See if  you can tell what my directions are for the following: Begin with the tail bumpers lined up. Turn right while reversing, then left. The right again as you go forward. Probably easy to guess. This was the parallel parking lesson with my 15-year old last...

My USAA card just came in the mail. They evidently have my number. And might I say, I am still officially 49, actually 49.7 so I have a ways to go. But USAA knows that the date looms later this year. But this is a milestone and it had me thinking about how we respond...
