Some truth telling today. I am over 40 and I think I am on an getting older kick because I just recently joined the official over 40 club and have now started paying attention to all the lies and hype the cosmetic companies put out that they can make me look 20 again without the use of a scalpel. Grasping at straws? I will let you know in 12 more days because I "should notice dramatically smoother and more well defined skin in 14 days" Yes, I will be safely locked behind the powder room door so no one will be a witness to my desperation.
I had considered a gym again. but quickly dismissed that idea because I shall live the downhill slide ride of my life slightly at more weight than suggested and eat cheesecake with my arm flab proudly waving high in the air but I really don't want to look like a Sharpei dog while taking this ride. Don't ask me to explain my logic on wrinkles versus flab.
I have considered the milestones in my life a little different than others. I remember the day I knew I was truly an adult. It was in the summer of my 25th year when I purchased a mower. Not when I signed on for a mortgage that same year or when I joined the Army . I knew my carefree days were over when after I purchased this mower proudly brought it home and called my mother telling her I was officially an adult.
The middle age milestone came with this miracle cream. It was not the day I signed another mortgage or talked with the Critter about which would be the most energy efficient water heater or my life insurance or my pre-need burial plan but, It is standing in Target aka "Mecca" comparing which cream will do the best at erasing my wrinkles the fastest.
I can't be the only person who ever stood in the bathroom mirror staring at themselves saying aloud. "I am old."
Now before you judge me or think sad old woman. remember! If you are not to this stage you will be. If you are going through the same battle Got any good ideas? and if you have been through this already God Bless You!
Yes, I am a 41 year old that feels mentally I am not a day over 30!
