Twenty Nine Again
Jul 25th, 2008 by justsimplyholly
Yup, that’s right, I turned 29 on my birthday the other day, again…LOL! To be honest, I wouldn’t go back to being 29 if someone paid me to! Although life currently has it’s “rough spots”, the ones today are much easier to deal with and get through than those that I had almost 15 years ago! Besides, if I were to be 29 again that means that my son would only be going on 2 and my daughter would be a gleam in our eye…LOL! And I REALLY don’t want to go through what all we’ve been through since they were little again!
The biggest “downfall” about getting older is that my memory sure isn’t what it used to be. I still have this thing about numbers, especially phone numbers, but remembering things like names, dates and appointments isn’t as easy as it used to be. It would be so awesome if humans could “plug in” something the way we plug in computer memory cards to help us reclaim the things we need to remember but suddenly can’t. OK, maybe it would be more creepy than awesome, but just imagine how easy it would be to carry around a little chip or card containing the important things you need to remember that you could just pop in when you forgot what you were supposed to be doing!
But still, I’ll take those little quirky things that come with age because I’ve “earned” them. It’s the crazy combination of gray hair, wrinkles, menopause, arthritis and acne that really drives me up a wall…LOL! Why is it that I’m having acne problems in my 40’s that are WAY worse than the acne I experienced in my teens? Something is just wrong about that!
