Coffee, Chaos and Cuss Words

I've been thinking about what direction I really want to take this blog. I have decided that as a woman in my mid-40's. I really want to explore things that either a) most people don't exist or don't think about checking out for themselves or b) super cool or fun things folks over 40 are basically told they can't or shouldn't do. I am a work in progress...there are many things I still want to do, see and try...I'm just getting started! It's fabulous being over 40...my comfort zone is just a guideline...I'm more confident about who I am, and it's easier to try new things.

I'm nearly 46 and all sorts of wonderful things have happened in my life since I hit 40...life keeps getting better, and sometimes stranger, but always changing and challenging. I am a Big Gal...yes, plus sized....FAT even! Ha! Yes, I am working on being healthier, but I have always been a curvy gal and am not ashamed ...
