Slow Blogging Morning
I hate writing “slow blogging morning” as a title for a post…I remember writing, “I have nothing to blog about today” on Sept. 11, 2001. Ugh. ANYWAY. It IS a slow blogging morning. Everyone is worn out from politics and Wall Street talk, so what to discuss? Did you see that Heather Locklear got arrested over the weekend? I love her and it makes me sad when she’s in trouble.
What else…I’m getting a haircut today! Are you thrilled? I knew you’d be thrilled. Friday is my 40th birthday, if you can believe that. I certainly can’t. So the geekboy and I decided to celebrate with a beach weekend down in Point Pleasant. I’m really looking forward to it. As I was telling an old high school friend the other day, I sure don’t feel 40. Or I guess I don’t feel like what I always imagined 40 to be. My grandmother, who is in her 90s, used to tell me on her birthday, “I don’t feel this old. I still feel like a kid.” Yep, me too. Of course, yesterday I realized I’m growing a Zit Family down by my chin. Unfair. However, my cold is finally beginning to clear up, so I’ve got that going for me.
Also, the next person who tells me that “Forty is the new _____” gets a punch in the throat.

I know they mean well, but I also hate “you look great for forty!” Which is to say, “You look great for an old fuck!”

Have fun at Point Pleasant and eat lots of deep fried oreos, brownies, cheesecake bites, etc.!!!! You probably love this one too—”Lordy, Lordy Look Who’s 40!”

Grey Rainbow, sometimes if I’m tired or worn out or whatever, I’ll sink into the couch and sigh, “Lordy, lordy,” and I’ll hear my sister chirp from the next room, “Look who’s forty!”

Happy Pre-Birthday Haircut Day! I hope you have a grand beach weekend celebration.
We’re virtually the same age, and I know what you mean about not feeling it because most days I have to remind myself I’m over 21, but some of my old high school friends have kids who are now graduating high school and about to make them grandparents and that is freaking my shit out a lil bit.

I know! I can’t even imagine.

Forty. Ok, you go first and tell me how it is and then I’ll be right behind you. Promise.
