I'm too old for this...

CAPES [something empowering] It's easier to communicate with other people when you can lose the passive-aggressive undertone.  Get over it already. 

COFFEE [latest trend or addiction]  This "squishable" sloth keeps popping up on my facebook adverstisements.  If it doesn't leave me alone, I might justify purchasing one.  For my nephews, of course.  

THE COLOR ORANGE [something noteworthy]   This weekend I'm cutting down my first tree.  My bet is that I can do it in less than 15 seconds.  I'll keep you posted...
