Turning 40

I’ll be honest, I’m not sure how I feel about turning 40. Here are the good things:

  • I’m allowed to have a midlife crisis and no one can blame me
  • I can be called Ma’am and it’s no longer offensive
  • I’m wiser than when I turned 21
  • I DEFINITELY don’t look 40
  • I don’t act 40 🙂

Bad things:

  • I don’t have enough money to properly have a midlife crisis
  • I’m not necessarily where I thought I’d be

Thoughts?

Have you ever noticed….

how in just about every show about four women there are the same “types.”

  • The Naive One – i.e. Charlotte, Rose, Grace Adler, April Malloy
  • The Slut – i.e. Samantha, Blanche, Jack McFarlan, Joss Carver
  • The Reasonable One – i.e. Miranda, Dorothy, Will Truman, Karen Kim
  • The Good Friend/Best Character – i.e. Carrie, Sofia, Karen Walker, Savi Davis

What other characters am I missing?  I don’t watch Girls so I didn’t include them.

The Bachelorette

I haven’t watched this show is 15 years and decided to give it another try. Few things:

  • Andi is hot
  • I like her personality and attitude
  • These guys are HOT
  • How long do you think the “token” bachelors will last? Will there EVER be an interacial couple?
  • I did, however, fast forward through 40 minutes of the show. I can’t deal with the cheesiness
  • If they want this to truly work, I have a few suggestions:
  •      Have her friends meet with the bachelors throughout. Flirt with them and see if they bite.
  •      Bring in ex girlfriends of the bachelors to see how they handle it.
  •      Allow music, books, TV during the six week period so they aren’t singularly focused on the dates

Few Things

Sorry for the silent treatment for a few days. Here’s what you’ve missed:

  • My poor Chicago tenants are being harassed by their neighbor. Is it possible to egg someone’s condo from Denver?
  • Had to PRESENT a hypothetical project plan to a group of 15 people for an interview and they gave the job to someone internally. Screw them. THAT’S BS.
  • I’ve been looking for a job for four months.
  • I’m tan. Like George Hamilton tan. And sadly, that’s not good.
  • Saul is truly the love of my life. And everyday of being disappointed by potential men makes him MY best suitor. Good job single men of Denver.
  • Finales aired for May Sweeps. I’m sad my favorite shows will be on hiatus for the summer. Bummer.
  • I’m going to Petoskey for July 4th. BEST. NEWS. EVER.
  • Is drinking a bottle of wine everyday a problem? Doctors and health professional please do not respond.
  • I’m annoyed.
  • Has anyone watched “Those Who Kill” on LMN? Yes LMN. Zip it. It’s amazing. Like so scary.
  • Saw “Lee Daniels The Butler.” Cannot believe the hatred in those days. Disgusting.
  • Dairy Queen is my new obsession.
  • I can’t wait to use my baby pool. Saul and I are super excited.
  • Wish life were different sometimes.
