Hey Kiddies,
I was away for a few days this week to attend boring-ass meetings in
Regina (and seriously feared for my life because of the HIDEOUSLY
icy/snowy roads -- south got a bad storm -- other drivers must have
thought I was nuts because I was driving and muttering over and over
"Dear Jesus, if you save me from getting into an accident, I'll
stop...." and thought of every guilt producing habit and thing I've ever
done....it was one of those times... anyway, I digress). Anyway, I am
two days behind on my digests, but thought I'd post on the age thing. I
turned 30 in March, and it was a totally hideous experience at the time
-- it really kicked me in the ass (aren't I just so eloquent tonight?).
I had a really hard time with it. I don't know, I just keep picturing
myself as a big kid -- I still want to hop out of bed on Saturday
morning and watch Scooby Doo while eating a big ole bowl of Lucky
Charms. Anyhoo, it was hard to actually let it sink in that I am not
the proverbial spring chicken anymore. As my mother always jokes with
me about everything, she says "aren't you getting a little long in the
tooth for that?" However, I am consoled for the time being that I look
young -- what was once a curse is now a blessing, I guess. I got asked
for ID buying cigarettes a few weeks ago, and that made me smile like
there was no tomorrow.
So anyway, I am a 30 year old who at various times during the day
feels 10, 13, 16, 25, 30, and 105.
Oh, and I saw that someone posted about Katrina and the Waves
"Walking on Sunshine". Another song of theirs that for some reason
makes me happier than hell is "That's the Way", which I bet even ole
slutty Bob hasn't even heard of -- I don't know if that one was released
in the States. It's from about 89 or 90 or something. Anyway, for some
reason I find that song really sexy, and it always puts me in a good
mood. And what the hell ever became of ole Katrina anyway?

np: the new kd lang --- damn it's growing on me now!
