Ok this is my first official blog, apparently this is THE thing to do so Im way behind. Ive read you can get rich and famous doing this so on the off chance it can really happen Im starting today. I’ve bought the lottery ticket just in case it doesnt work out. One must always have a plan B. I hope this doesn’t go like my dieting. I commit strongly for the first week and then…. well you know. Strangely that seems to be how my relationships go but thats a different topic for a later time.
Frankly, if youre reading my blog you’ve got way too much time on your hands. Anyway, here goes…
So its’ officially one week before my birthday. Yes, all birthdays are special but this is one of the really significant ones. I’m not going to type it. I can barely say it. I’m not sure I believed in that whole mid life crisis thing before now. The problem is I know the calendar says I’m older (as does the wrinkles, stretch marks, gray hair and hot flashes) but I don’t feel older.
I’m still attracted to the same men as when I was younger. This is sort of a problem because they are still 22. Thank God the occasional young man flirts with Mrs. Robinson and provides the necessary ego boost. Unfortunatley many of them will not get that reference.
I do try to consider men my age but they either look and act like my dad and if they don’t they’re dating the 22 year old hottie and not so interested in the likes of me. Where’s that leave a girl exactly?
I still like to do things I did when I was younger: music/concerts, dancing, sports, etc. Theres been little difference from that perspective only now I have more money (and sadly less time) to enjoy them.
The truth be told, the problem, especially for someone like me who is goal oriented, is that you spend your 20s and 30s settings your goals and (hopefully) accomplishing them: career success check, financial stability check, family stability check; see the world check (though still in progress). Now what? It would seem logical that one should come up with new goals then but its not as easy as it sounds. Here’s what I’ve got so far:
~Come up with more goals
Not sure I want to touch on relationships. I am flabbergasted that some of my friends have now been married 3 times and I can’t seem to get a date. Don’t get me wrong, marriage is definitely not a goal for me. I really don’t want to be married (at least I don’t think I do) however it would seem that finding the occasional date would not be so difficult. I will take some of the responsibility. I’m actually extremely shy (even friends dont believe it until they see it in action). I’m great online though….
I do have the birthday goal of learning to be more outgoing. I might actually set the goal to ask an attractive stranger for date. First, I must work on looking the grocery store clerk directly in the eye.
I’m spending my birthday in the UK. We leave Thur – yea for me! I’ve spent my birthday in Bath for the last couple years. It’s become sort of a tradition. We are actually going to take the waters in Bath, they finallyopened the spa. Another yea for me! I’m actually quite good at spa-ing. I wonder how I could be come a professional spa-er. That would help my midlife career crisis, aka ..what do I want to be when I grow up. I’m will to practice being out going on the trip. I may even work on the other goal (see reference to twins above). I don’t live there so I won’t ever have to face them again if I completely muck it up.
Enough of this inane nonsene..have bills/budget to do. Must figure out a way to get lipo budgeted for next year. (add to goal list) Thank God for good credit.
