i am going to do this blog thing that i have seen others do. one of my sweet friends gave it her own little twist ~ which was very creative; she is just that way ~ but, me being somone who doesn't quite know what to blog at times, will do this the long, drawn out way because it gives me 30 topics to blog ~ while i keep track of other things to blog as i go along.
30 truths about me.... well .... here goes:
i laughed as i read down the list of what the 30 questions were because, i thought, wow ~ the first thing they want you to put out there is "what you hate about yourself"... nothing like jumping right into the thick of things :)
as i read the question it seems like i should only be giving one answer ~ well, i am sorry to tell you that i could probably go on for quite some time about the things i hate about myself.
where to begin ... i hate middle age and all the crap it brings. not just physical changes, but emotional changes and realizations as well. technically, i am barely middle aged ~ and they (whoever "they" are) say that 40 is the new 30 so, really i am not middle aged ~ i am in my prime!
what i find about middle age is this: the physical changes suck ~they include gaining weight, the puffiness under the eyes, wrinkles around the eye area, my lips are actually getting thinner ( it must be a loss of collegen or something because i have NEVER had thin lips), sagging of all things that never used to sag with no way to firm them up to keep them from sagging. hair issues ~ not just the beginnings of noticeably gray hair, but thinning and brittleness and ugh ~ things that i have never had to deal with before. i used to have tons and tons of naturally curly hair ~ now it doesn't even remember that it is curly anymore ~ and it isn't VOLUPTUOUS ( as one of my college roomies told me one time) it is sort of a disaster area and i never worried about my hair ever like i do now.
middle age makes you stop and take stock of where you are in life ~ what have you accomplished ~ are you where you want to be ~ do you still have goals that you want to achieve. i am sure that it isn't bad when you are comfortable with the way your life has played out ~ but if you are at a place where you don't feel like you should be and you don't have any future goals for your life ~ that stinks because you look at your life and say, "what happened, how did i get here, this was not where i was planning on being at this time in my life."
plus, all my girlfriends are younger than i am ~ i hate being the old one in the bunch.
so, i guess that is it, that is what i hate about myself. it is the fact that i am getting old.
Yoooou. ;P You are beautiful and hair problems, whatever. I wish for your hair. As for not knowing where we are or how we got here... I blame the margaritas ♥
