FMM: 4 mi
Hi, Folks,
Tonight I am headed to the American Women of Dublin's Fashion Show. I know, I know, I'm hardly fashion show material. In fact, I've never even been to a fashion show. I decided to attempt to improve my image by buying a new outfit to wear to the show. My total clothing purchases since arriving 9 months ago include a turtleneck (4 euros), a sweater (7 euros), a St. Pat's green hat (3 euros), and my big ticket item-- a winter coast (67 euros). That totals 81 euros or about $105 by today's exchange rate. I did arrive on these shores with two new pairs of jeans and a new top. Nowadays I check my jeans each morning to make sure the knees haven't worn through. Like the ugly stepsisters in "Cinderella", I attempted to squeeze myself into the latest European fashions. I've decided that they don't have people of my stature (in more ways than one!) over here. At the fourth store, I heard someone call my name. It was my friend France who is also going to the fashion show. We agreed to have coffee and revive our fragile egos. Ultimately, we've both decided on the usual solution: we are wearing our black pants tonight...
Shopping then stopping,
I remain

Am I Really This Old? (Answer Below)
FMM: 5mi
Happy Monday,
Yes, I had a nice birthday. Thanks for asking. I'm sure the rest of your cards will arrive today. My partner (no one says "husband" or "spouse" over here) was overjoyed to find soccer in a park only about a mile away. The teams were U14 & U16. The U14 team had a foul-mouthed coach who probably would have been banned for life from Cosmo Park. Soccer appears even more serious here than it is in Columbia, MO. We also got the schedule for a professional rugby team that plays nearby. So, my future is bright I guess... My partner proved that he is not in shape for the rigors of shopping as he complained of his back, legs, feet, AND knees -- not to mention his billfold -- after what I - and most of you reading this - would term a very mild shopping trip. I took the opportunity to point out what I have saved him from the past 34 years...We went out for buffalo chicken wings, French fries, beer and wine.
I'm off to inflict myself upon society for yet another year.
Answer: Yes
