Seriously U R Kidding
Heartfelt, humorous, and cynical narratives written by an almost famous blogger Tracy Gains.
I want to write a blog about my sister. I find it difficult because I rarely do anything without soliciting her advise, and I’m afraid I won’t say all things I want to say with out turning this into some sicko-cheesy eulogy! ( I’m pretty sure she would talk me out of it because she …
You don’t get to be pretty. You don’t get to be smart, and you definetly don’t get to be cool. I found out early on, it wasn’t going to work out for me…I lit a cigarette in front of my Mother, when I was about 19 years old, and she BURST out laughing, and said, …
You know you have a tight knit group of girl friends when you find yourself gathered around a beautiful farm table, in Highlands,NC., enjoying a late evening meal, talking non stop with five young at heart, old college gals, and the next thing you know, the conversation suddenly diverts into becoming a personality evaluation. Only this …
I know very little about Zodiac signs… I have not had a big need for horoscope’s in my life since high school, and back then I only read a few to solve the mysteries of my love life, or more precisely to determine if my boyfriend was going to “ask me out”. (Astrology turned out …
My granddaughter, is turning three, and she is afraid of A LOT of things…she dislikes, dark rooms, fireworks, and old people, especially Santa Claus. She looks up at me, her brow sky high, and in a very unpersuasive tone, says, “It’s not scarewee”, with a humongous question mark at the end of her statement. As …
My Mom had Alzheimer’s. Somehow she was able to keep her remarkable sense of humor to the end of her time, but the horrible part of forgetting…is not so funny…nor forgiving. My Mom loved reading at the beach, eating lunch at “swanky” ( her favorite word) restaurants, traveling with her girls, happy hour and her …
In order to be the best person you can be…you need to hire someone. Why in the world would anyone strive to be low maintenance is beyond me! If I can afford it, I’ll let you do it! Getting older is the wisest thing I have ever done, and letting someone smarter than me, do …
It’s a fact…skinny people are smarter than fat people, “no bones about it”, but, “in no way, shape or form” are they as funny. When was the last time some “ripped” kid cracked you up? Carrots may improve your baby blue eyes, and it’s proven that kale will make you as strong as Popeye, but …
I am the happiest when I’m crying. I don’t want to go to a movie theater and come out with a dry eye. I don’t want to hear a song that doesn’t break my heart in two. If I go to church for a Sunday sermon, or a good friend’s wedding, I want to use …
I don’t believe in airing your dirty laundry (although, I’m pretty good at it), and it’s not nice to kiss and tell, but did you know, some families have dirty little “secrets”… and some have “secrets” they keep in a recipe box… like FOREVER! (Or, at least, until Aunt Mazy dies)! Keeping a family recipe a …
Louis Armstrong’s song, “Let’s call the whole thing off”, has been the story of my life for the last 39 years! Gary planning a vacation is more comparable to a natural disaster, in my opinion, than a vacation! I want to go to places I have never seen before. Gary wants familiarity. I …
Slumber parties have been the best source of entertainment since I was old enough to tell a secret! What could be more fun than, sneaking out after dark, rolling yards, staying up til dawn, and boy’s? I know I am leaving out the part when girls sometimes get their feelings hurt, the never ending prank …
