10. I overbaked some chocolate chip bars for a weekend church function. Thankfully, we were out of town the weekend they were served, so I didn’t have to watch people discover how dry they were.<\/p>\n

9.\u00a0 The historical paper photographs that have been sitting on a chair for 2 1\/2 years waiting to be organized remain untouched. The same can be said for my collection of\u00a0 digital photographs, too.<\/p>\n

8.\u00a0 I keep meaning to up my lunch game and eat three square meals a day. But it never happens. Instead, I graze from about 11 to 1 almost every day.<\/p>\n

7.\u00a0 Too late, I discovered that if a sweet, cuddly granddaughter’s first birthday falls shortly after the New Year, waiting until January to buy a card means the sweet, cuddly granddaughter will receive her card a day late.<\/p>\n

6.\u00a0 The weekend shopping trip to update my winter wardrobe did not happen. So I have to keep my by my sides at all times so people don’t see the holes in my sweater underarms.<\/p>\n

5.\u00a0 My grandson and I have not yet found the right flavor of Koolaid to make bright, purple play dough. Our best effort yielded a dingy color we call “gray-ple” that’s nothing to write home about.<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0 My sister and I were not discovered by a Hollywood mogul during our beach walk in southern California. Perhaps because the surfers were more interesting.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0 I did not get nominated for an Academy Award. For the 59th year in a row. It’s enough to make a person quit trying.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0 My Cindy Crawford look-alike make over was a bust.<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0 Neither the Democrats or Republicans asked me to join their last debates before the Iowa caucuses. So I was unable to throw a hissy fit and withdraw because the moderator was a mean girl. It’s not fair!<\/p>\n
