Did you ever want to be a natural at something pointless? Like, bongos, or opening bottles with random household objects? Last weekend, I found myself at a bar with a mechanical bull and was surprised to find that I cared about that. Some part of me saw that metal bull and decided I wanted to win at bull riding, I wanted to go on the dive-bar bull riding circuit, I wanted to be the Tri-State Mechanical Bull Rodeo Queen.
So I held on.
And held on.
And held on.
I won’t be able to wear a miniskirt again this fiscal year.
Worth it.

All through uni I played rugby, and that resulted in some amazingly horrific bruising (I have the same colouring as you), and I wore them with pride. I figured I couldn’t hide them (I was covered) so I let them show. SO I say wear your mini skirts and wear your bruises with pride. They’re awesome!

Maggie you are awesome! I love your wonderful spirit….
I was just in Hawaii two weeks ago, checking a few things off of my Life List (big big thank you btw, having that Life List just makes it easier to do those things), and while I was driving back from Hanauma Bay, heard the song The Dog Days Are Over. You immediately came to mind, (because of the Happy/Sad thread and everyone who posted songs) and I thought, “I hope Maggie is doing ok.”
And you are.
xxoo
