Just Bitchin’ About 40 Being the New 30?
Who said 40 is the new 30? Oprah? The fashion industry? I’m not sure………… Let me just say this - there are benefits, but come on - the new 30? This is what I, as a 42 year old woman, have to say about 40. My vision is gone - that is I can’t read a lipstick name or small type on that book I may want to read - nope, my children now shop with me and tell me what lipstick color I want to buy. And wrinkles - they were not there at 30. They are here at 40. So my choice is Botox in my forehead and other crap in my cheeks? I mean some people who overdo that stuff look like muppets (sorry). I don’t want to look like a muppet. So do I think I can age gracefully? I have not decided yet. I am told I look young for my age, and that should make me happy, but I do look in the mirror and I see the difference and that makes my wrinkles get worse cuz I am actually fretting about it. And guess what else can happen! Your bladder can drop and you have to have surgery to fix it - I AM NOT KIDDING! This has not happened to me yet (praise G-D), but hey I know 2 people already who have had to do this - OMG! Like I said there are benefits - like I have totally quit hanging out with people who are a waste of my time and I actually feel so much more free - there is too little time on this planet to hang out with those who bring you down. So let’s just say 40 is 40 and 30 is 30 and I KNOW 20 is 20. Just reality. So quit your bitchin…………that’s why I’m here.

Just Bitchin’ About: Nail Places
It’s been awhile since my last blog. I really have a lot to bitch about. However, right now I will focus on what’s on my mind at this moment… My niece is in town for Thanksgiving. We have been going to the same nail place for many years. They are really nice people. However, today me, my two daughters, sister and niece went to get our nails done. All of us except my niece were seated immediately. My niece was asked to sit in an area away from the rest of us and no one came to start her appointment. My niece is 16, and VERY outspoken. So, she told them and then told them to forget it… Then, she went downstairs to tell the owner (we’ve been coming here a long time). When she left 6 employees start talking fast and in Korean. I, being quite vocal myself, ask them what they said about my niece. Quickly they respond: “nothing, we weren’t”. I, being no Mensa student, but being quite bright (if I say so myself), say, “wow! Then y’all must have all had some other thought pop in your head at the same time. That’s amazing.”. I then turn to my oldest and say, “maybe we should speak in a different language too.”. So, now I’m sitting here praying that I wasn’t given the old nail cutters, nail files and put in a “spa” tub that wasn’t properly disinfected!!! So, as my nails are being done by a lady who keeps coughing (swine flu) I am hoping she didn’t give me a “special” pedicure:)!! Quit Your Bitchin’, that’s why I’m here!

Just Bitchin’ about: Facebook
I like Facebook. In fact, I have a page. But to protect the names if those I might bitch about, the actual page will remain unnamed. I don’t post a lot on my “status”. In fact, I’ve only updated it one time. However, I do enjoy being able to keep in touch with those I might not otherwise call, email or even text. I admit that I have the “APP” on my phone and look at it more than once a day if I can and scroll down the “status updates” part. Sometimes I comment, sometimes I don’t. Truly we live in a different age these days. Everything is instant, no waiting (another day I’ll “bitch” about how this bugs me with regards to how this affects my kids!). But, for right now, let me say this: Facebook started out with good intentions: college kids getting out there, maybe connecting with other college kids who they new or have like interests. Maybe placi g their resume on their Facebook for potential employers. Now we have college kids, college graduates connecting with old classmates from high school and college (that’s what interested me), teenagers and pre-teens, too! Again, the pre-teen/teen Facebook pages is for another “bitch!”. My complaint is this: I DO NOT WANT TO READ ABOUT YOUR EVERY FUCKING MOVE!!! Seriously!!!!! I do not give a rats ass if you are: leaving your house to go to the mall, driving to get your kids, thinking of a number between 1 and 10 or deciding where to go to eat! I also don’t want to see everything you are eating at a restaurant, if I wanted that, guess what: I’d ask you to go out to eat! I also don’t want to know if you hate your boss … Why would you post that anyway? Can’t your boss, ir co-workers who hate you see that and show your boss? I don’t want to read concersations between you and your buddy, spouse, kid, aunt, etc… I’m pretty sure there are private emails and even a damn PHONE you can pick up if it’s that important…. But nit in your status stuff!!! Everyone who us “friends” with you sees your “updates” as they login to Facebook. Really: don’t tell the world that you maybe have to go to the bathroom! Instead say. “hey, in case you’re ever in need of a public toilet while you are in the mall go to:FILL IN THE BLANK….”. So much better!!! I’m at a football game now, and I have to go to the bathroom..but I’m writing this here b/c it doesn’t belong on my Facebook! I also smell the severe BO from the guy in front if me.. In fact, I’m a bit conflicted: I like the breeze b/c it provides relief from the sun, but the breeze also brings with it the whif of onions from this guy!!!
I haveany thoughts that go throughout my head during the day: but, really… not all of my Facebook “friends” need to see it…especially because they ALL are not really my “friends”.
“quit your bitchin’… That’s why I’m here”
