Why Knot?

Posted on September 16, 2020 by CaroleJean'sCapers@wordpress.com • 21 Comments

Floozies forever! One of my most cherished friends, a British lady, said I dressed like a tart. It struck me so funny I told it to a lifelong friend who dresses in a similar, age-inappropriate fashion, and she laughed and exclaimed, “Floozies forever!” and we toasted to that. So, there I was visiting my two … Continue reading →

Whoo Hoo! I Have Cataracts!

Posted on September 28, 2018 by CaroleJean'sCapers@wordpress.com • 15 Comments

        It had been a while since my last eye exam. My prescription eyeglasses were failing me. I did not want to fork out the money for some new fancy eyewear and was stretching out the time. I found that if I turned the three-way lamp to high I could still read.  … Continue reading →

Zero Birthdays!

Posted on July 3, 2018 by CaroleJean'sCapers@wordpress.com • 2 Comments

    No, it doesn’t mean you don’t have any. It means it’s a milestone – the number ends in a zero!  I clearly remember panicking when I turned the Big Three-O. I  was flying for T.I.A. on a seven-day layover in Hong Kong. It was April 8, 1977, a Friday. The crew had planned … Continue reading →

New Job – New Uniform

Posted on July 1, 2018 by CaroleJean'sCapers@wordpress.com • 9 Comments

        It happened by accident. I emailed a friend just to say hello. She said she was crazy busy with her real estate business and was looking for an assistant. Assistant?! Hey, I want to be an assistant! I still have my California Broker’s license although it is not required for assistants. … Continue reading →

Sometimes Ya Gotta Scale the Wall!

        As soon as I took the first step up the walkway to Frank’s house it hit me. Damn! I forgot the key. Did I have to admit to Frank that I forgot the key again? The last time I forgot it I scurried home, which is only five minutes away, to … Continue reading →

Doctor Who? Doctor What?!

Posted on May 26, 2017 by CaroleJean'sCapers@wordpress.com • 10 Comments

        Doctor Magic, that’s what!  I just stopped by to see what condition my reconstruction was in. Turns out my reconstruction needed reconstructing.  As most of you know, I am a breast-cancer survivor of many years. I was one of the lucky ones who caught it early, had the mastectomy and reconstruction, … Continue reading →

Vegas Birthday Bash!

Posted on May 22, 2017 by CaroleJean'sCapers@wordpress.com • 14 Comments

Some people love Las Vegas. Others hate it. Whichever you are, you must admit there is no place quite like it for a blow-out bash of many varieties. Me? I love it. I get to dress up, strut around in stilettos, and see real flamingos.  Real, not plastic! Where? At the Flamingo, of course. It is … Continue reading →

      Now that I live in a Senior Complex, I am more aware of people dying.Yes, it’s true – we are all going to die. Nobody gets out of this life…alive. And furthermore, you can’t take it with you. Turns out all the clichés we’ve ever heard on the subject are true! Gotta … Continue reading →

Playboy Bunny Ring Girl?

Posted on August 9, 2016 by CaroleJean'sCapers@wordpress.com • 9 Comments

Anybody have a Playboy Bunny suit hanging in your closet? I mean the real deal, not one of those lingerie imitations that comes in a clear plastic bag and has all the parts including the puffy bunny tail for $19.99. It has to have the super high-cut legs that go all the way to the … Continue reading →

Reset, Recharge, Rejoice!

Posted on December 31, 2015 by CaroleJean'sCapers@wordpress.com • 23 Comments

I cried because I had no shoes until I met a man who had no feet. (Author unknown or Old Persian Proverb – whichever you prefer.) It’s been quite the year. My life imploded, crashing in on my body and soul  from  all sides. Everything that was familiar and comfortable went away – some due to my … Continue reading →
