Me? What can I say about me? I’m a 53-year-old, mostly happy, sometimes cranky, living too much in my head, lesbian grandmother, residing in Colorado, USA. I came out at age 45, having finally realized how I needed to live my life to be the best “me” possible. Shortly thereafter, the Universe gave me the love of my life and we are creating our dream lives NOW, not waiting for some elusive “someday”. I still work, probably always will, but at least now I’m working from home, so I don’t have to wear a bra or even take a shower if I don’t want to. I worry too much and don’t exercise enough, so that makes me a card-carrying member of the human race!
The other people you will read about here are:
G – my wife, love, partner, and truly the best thing that ever happened to me! I love you, honey. More and more every day. Eight years and going strong!
Peaches the wonder dog.
My daughter, J. Her husband, A. As of May 2010, he is apparently no longer in the picture. As of a couple of months ago, he’s back in the picture, but they are living separately and trying to work things out. Good for them. Once again, they are split, right at the holidays, him playing grinch and taking the boys’ gifts. Ugh. I’ll keep the comments to myself. This time, I hope they stay split. The boys can only take so much chaos in their lives.
My 2 grandsons, GS1 and GS2. A’s 2 kids – inherited granddaughter (IGD) and IGS3 We’d like to give them their gifts but sadly have no real way of getting in touch with them. I’ll just keep hope that we can get the presents to them at some point.
Various friends and family members, usually identified by initials or names, depending on how I feel when I’m writing.
This page may change as time goes by, but those are the basics.

Happy Mother’s Day!
Oy! How did I miss your move???
Must have happened while my head was spinning over the past few months from work overload, and I stopped checking the dailies at Bloglines.com. I wondered why I wasn’t seeing new posts from you.
Welcome to WordPress. How do you like it so far?

Hi GG–I’ve followed your blog for awhile now and enjoy reading it. I’m looking at getting into medical transcription and I’m guessing that is what you do. Any chance we could email a little about it? Please email me if you desire and I will respond with my questions/concerns. I’m 34, live in Iowa with my wife (thank you Iowa for letting me marry) and our son. I’m looking for a career change and will tell you a lot more if I hear from you. Thanks so much!!!! (I wasn’t sure of a better way to write to you so feel free to not post this comment obviously.)
Hi GG:
Got here from My Big Gayborhood, after reading about Lori’s “visit” with you. Had no idea it was virtual, it was so believable!
I’m 53 years old and came out a couple of years ago, after being married for almost 30 years. Got three adult children – no grandchildren yet, but I must say I am now ready for them. I look forward to reading more of your blog.
Glad to see you are so happy in your new life.
howzit – good to meet you
You’re wonderful!

Wow! Your posts are just awesome. I actually found this because I’m preparing to do the Camino de Santiago in May 2012 and one post led to another!
I recently moved from Colorado Springs, CO to Blountville, TN (yes, it’s hicksville twice removed) because family lives out here and I could live with them, pay less rent, and then go squander my retirement account with travel. While common consensus is that I should be working and saving for a few more years, I’ve decided to buck the system and go travel before I can’t!!! Turning 54 in a few days (Sunday), I could care less anymore what the rest of the world is thinking!
So, I thought I would say and let you know I’ll be following your blog! I too have started blogging but I’m still struggling with how to set up all the fun stuff on it so it’s basically very plain and simple!
