Bottom Drawer

Well, I’m 40, have been for almost 7 months now.  It’s official and I’m really good with it. A few weeks before the big day, I informed Michael that I just didn’t want to do it. I had chosen not to turn 40…just no.  As if I had a choice. What kind of psychotic control…

Well Worn Jeans

Last week I went to see Tinker, Taylor, Soldier, Spy. The movie, by the way, was interesting. Very period with a cool pace and if Gary Oldman doesn’t win an Oscar it’s a real shame, but that’s not the point of this post. The entire theatre, at 3:20 when I took my seat, was filled…

Birkenstocks

Jason Mraz does not have attractive feet. He recently posted a picture of them  with the caption “Thank you feet. For all the places we have been. For all the places we will go. ” I mean they’re not ugly feet, but he’ll never be a foot model.  Fortunately for him he has about a dozen other…

Silk Pillow Case

I read and article that women should sleep on their back and always on a silk pillow case.  The silk keeps your hair from tangling and breaking and you sleep on your back so you don’t mush your face into the pillow and cause wrinkles. Yeah, I sleep on my stomach, face full on mashed…

See Through Blouse

Yesterday was my first time wearing pasties. For many women that are approaching 39 again this is the year for the baseline mammogram.  I’d heard horror stories from “it feels like they’re running  your boob over with a tire” to “the platform is as cold as concrete.” While this is usually a private thing and…

Sensible Shoes

Midlife Crisis. I’m not exactly sure what it looks like, but I don’t want one.  I’m picturing some 50 year old man in a Ferrari. Do women even have midlife crises?  I thought we were too smart for that.  Men, sure they have them.  They get older, some of them start to lose their “abilities”…
