Sunbathing and other illegal stuff...

I decided to even out my tan a bit (very farmer due to golfing in t-shirts). The 4th Annual Chick Trip is coming up next week and even though I'm not completely obsessed with an even tan, this was REALLY bad. Donned my new swimming suit top and plopped my ass out on the deck knowing full well that me in a swimming suit is illegal in 49 of the 50 states. I scare fish and young children. Fortunately, I'm at an age that I have stopped fighting nature and am comfortable with my fluffiness (other than the occasional bout of Slim Fast when I'm feeling particularly hu-idge).

Aside : Huge is a favorite shrinofus word, although we pronounce it with two syllables, as indicated above. Hu-idge.

Next weekend will be a blast. Fourteen women of varying ages take a four day trip (extended this year from the previous 3 day trip). In the past there has been a canoe trip down a river involved. This year we rented a cabin at a lake resort. There are only a few rules --- You have to drink. You have to smoke or tolerate those who do. You may not force your political or religious views on others. Hmm...think there may be another one or two thrown in there, but you get the gist. It's a cut-loose, leave the sig others and chillens behind, and get shit-faced with the girls weekend. Paula is a rookie on the trip this year. Hope she has fun. I'm sure we'll blog on this upon our return to reality next Sunday.

Hubby is a pall bearer at his aunt's funeral this morning and we are supposed to go to a wedding reception. Is this a dichotomy or a cosmic synchronicity?

Way to go

You just had to bring up the early 60's...
Nothing like shattering the Internet illusion that I'm a 25-year-old towering blonde with killer measurements!

Male shrinofus

Shrinofus, while starting out as a "she's one of us" reference, is by no means limited to the female gender. In fact, Paula is actively searching for a man who can be shrinofus. (I'm taken and while he's not technically shrinofus, I'm used to him).

She has bravely reentered the dating scene, but has yet to find that perfect combination of wit, intelligence, attraction, and tolerance of gambling. As her best friend, I have refrained from attempting the "fix up". A bad fix-up could impair a friendship and I'm not willing to risk it. Besides, everyone else she know insists on pushing men at her - with varying degrees of luck. So---this is my one and only foray into matchmaking (pretty feeble, huh). If there is a male shrinofus out there, comment away.

Welcome to "One of Us"

Thanks for stopping by!  We are collectively "shrinofus", which is one of our made up words meaning that we are a unit - (she's one of us, sort of run together).  If you hang out long enough, you will see we make up a lot of words that we adopt into our everyday language.

We are as close or closer than sisters, knowing what the other is thinking and often finishing sentences for one another.  We're best friends hoping to find others that we consider to be shrinofus.
