I have recently been trolling the Blogosphere and notice that anyone who is anyone has a BLOG. Since I am definitely anyone, I thought I would start a blog of my very own. I am also hoping that by blabbing on my blog, it will keep the ”voices” happier as they too will have an outlet. I’m not sure what direction this will take but I’m sure it will be an interesting ride. Soooo, hop on the back of Auntie’s bicycle and let’s cruise!
You may wonder where my moniker originates. Well, I am an Auntie, several times over, thanks to my prolific brothers and sisters. But the ”antiquity” process is a recent development. You may not realize it but you could be an “antiquity in progress“. It is a slow, gradual, often mind numbing process- you don’t really notice it creeping up on you. But it is a common phenomenon-happens to the best (and worst) of us. Here are some of the symptoms:
1. you have no interest in reality TV (exception: Survivor, since you have been watching for almost 10 years, and The Amazing Race);
2. you don’t have any idea who Lindsay Lohan is ( and you don’t want to know);
3. you use the phrase “back in the day“.
Now don’t get me wrong, I’m as hip as the next menopausal mama. I have a tattoo, I (and Joan Jett) love rock and roll and I clean up pretty too ( if I do say so myself AND I DO!) But I am not on the “cutting edge“ of anything anymore though I have been seen running with scissors. It seems too much like work to be “in the know”; being “in the dark” is sooo much easier.
But, despite collecting dust, life in Auntie’s world can be pretty interesting. Horny Toad, my true love, definitely adds spice (and a bunch of aggravation) to life. Let me tell you a bit about HT. He is a lover of all types of music and he always has a song in his head which is wonderful except hat he only shares a small snippet of that song with the outside world over and over and over, the same small snippet and so Auntie presents a daily segment to be called
SONGS FROM THE SHOWER- Today’s song snippet is: “the lunatic is in my head” ( wash,rinse,and repeat 35 times at 5:45 a.m) Guesses, anyone?? Please be sure to check back tomorrow for the answer.
Well, enuf about my little corner of crazy. I want this to be an interactive affair. Therefore, since I have shared with you, I expect you to share with me. So here is Auntie’s Daily Inquiry:
What makes you crazy???
Well, until tomorrow, Have a semi-interesting day!!
Oh my goodness! Am I truly your very first visitor (that left a comment that is) on your very first post? What a honour for me.
Welcome and yes many people have blogs. Although you will be a somebody special with a blog. I can tell….your introductory post made me smile, as I certian it will for anyone who s lucky to read it.
Is antiquity in progress (a great term by the way) an age or simply a mindset and is it an honour? Oh yes, it must be! Please say it is.
What makes me crazy? It depends. Do you mean crazy in a good way? Crazy, as you know, has many definitions. What makes me crazy today is that the current song in my head is not the one I want there – really, how many times can the opening few lines of a Rolling Stones song repeat itself in my mind. Apparently many, and I want it out, but alas….”I Can’t Get No Satisfaction.”
Thank you for stopping by my blog today and for visiting the “post of the day.”
Happy blogging! And welcome!
Here from Micheles today!
The song is by Pink Floyd, I can’t remember the name though & I have to run so can’t pull out my album to look it up. (I still have a vinyl copy of that one!)
Oh my goodness! Am I second only to Michele in leaving you a welcome the north face of the blogosphere? Welcome, welcome, welcome! We look forward to your insights, and backwards to your memories, which you are soon to report to us:-)
Michele didn’t send me here — I go up and down her comments visiting everyone, so you could say that though she didn’t send me, she did give me directions!

Oh, and the lunatic is in my head too…. I’ll see you on the dark side of the blogosphere:-)
