The Baggies Right in Front of Me

My 8 year old twins, Jacob and Sophie, and I walked our own  "Green Mile" to get voluntarily punctured with flu shots, a baggie in each hand. One baggie was filled with ice cubes for our own personal numbing system, and the other was filled with Milk Duds and Dots, for our own personal reward system.  The baggies works, and God-willing, so will the shots.

Whether you are preventing physical or emotional pain, or simply rewarding yourself, I want to know, "What's in YOUR baggies?"

A Hot Guy at the Beach was Right in Front of Me Today

I was with my sister-in-law at the beach today, and a gorgeous young man walked passed us. I recognized him immediately. "Hi, David" I called. David stopped to chat, and my sister-in-law looked at me (in awe, I will imagine) and asked, "you know this guy?". "Of course!" I said, and I introduced David to her. My association with Mr. Handsome clearly showed off a cool side of me that she had never realized I had, and she was incredulous...until I mentioned that I was good friends with his parents. All of a sudden, "hip" morphed into "old" and then, seemingly "decrepid." Yes, I knew the hot guy but through his folks. And that meant that my cool factor, in her eyes, grew awfully cold, awfully fast. But, of course, it presented a question right in front of me:

What's perfect about your age right now?
