I'm what!?!?!?!?!?

Sometimes I'm so startled by something someone says to me that I just burst into laughter!

I was talking to my mostly charming husband today about Lumosity. (Look it up)
I told him that my best brain functions are flexibility and problem solving. He said, "flexibility?" Yeah, he lost some charming points for that. Then I fessed up and told him my worst brain function is attention - no surprise there. Attention was closely followed by memory. Which makes sense right? If you have the attention span of a kitten, naturally your memory would suck too. His next witty retort was, "yeah, but that happens to elderly people" WHAT? I'm ELDERLY??? OMG!!! I AM!!!!! I just laughed and laughed and laughed. He said, "it's not that funny sweetie". Oh yes it is! I completely forgot that I've grown older. Oh wait...that's a memory issue right? Ha! Because I'm elderly. Wooweee that's funny! I just remembered that I have a fondness for Malibu rum and vanilla Coke...think I'll have one. I better live it up man, being elderly and all.


Next up, and this is totally unrelated, a letter from Stephen King...This is in regard to the TV show currently airing called, Under the Dome. It's not really a mini-series. I think it's more like a summer series. Anyway, I thought the book was too long at over 1000 pages. And the end was a big disappointment to me. But I liked it enough to tune into the pilot of the TV series. But because my memory sucks, I don't remember all the little details of the novel. Truthfully though, I probably skipped over them. A lot of fans are really ticked off though, that the TV show isn't like the book. I've felt that way about some of the novels I've read that have been turned into movies, etc. But I won't ever think that way again because of this interesting article;
