2. I will NEVER wear those glasses on a string! Okay, I mean I wear the glasses, but not the string. 3. Crows feet. Need I say more? 4. Gray hair, which I cleverly disguise with blond highlights. 5. Those Blondie locks cost a fortune. But, it looks goood. 6. I have so many wrinkles in so many places, I can almost forget about all those stretch marks from childbirth - 27 years ago! 7. I can go to the tanning bed, 'cause who's gonna notice more wrinkles anyway? 8. The tan makes me feel like I look younger - I KNOW it's bad for you. I'm 40ish, I know these things. 9. The monthly visitor! Is it coming or not (not is always good)? Will it be a day or will I bleed nearly to death? 10. That last thing happened. Nearly! Had to go to the doc- lost too much blood. Never did get it back either. 11.I know that's gross, sorry. Just trying to impart wisdom. 12. Imparting wisdom - now see, there's a plus. I am an elder now. EWWW. I don't think I like the sound of that. 13. Two words for y'all --- HOT FLASHES!!!! Now, I hope you are all excited about your 40's. There are some really good things too. They just aren't nearly as fun to share.;D Links to other Thursday Thirteens! 1. (leave your link in comments, I’ll add you here!) |

Oh goody, goody... I am so very close. I can hardly wait!... Yeah Right!!! I was at my doctor this last year and she told me you can start having pre menopausal occurrences in your 30's (this came up because of some of the symptoms I was describing). So, that was her diagnosis. *huge sigh*. Here I go. Nice to see there's others out there leading the way. *grin* Hey, what are friends for, right? :-)

You look great for fourty-ish. My husband and I had a conversation last night about how old we are. He is almost a year younger than me. Yeah my boy toy. We couldn't figure out if I am 33 or 34. I think I'm 34 I'm just to lazy to do the math.

Faith you are too funny :) - I can totally relate to all the stuff you are listing. Highlights are expensive indeed - blah! Although haven't had gray hair yet, but I know it is coming.
No more monthly visits - had the same problem - to much loss each month - surgery in 2001...
My tt is up on my Lighter Side. I'll add your link to mine.

I'm so freaked out! Just Kidding sorta! I'm 34 but ya know how time flies. And yes, there's nothing like the feeling of tanning. Sometimes I tan just to try to look my age. I'm sure this will come back and bite me in the butt hard one day.

If that's your photo on the sidebar, you're beautiful...
Umm, when did 40 become an elder? Silly.
My 13 is up :) I enjoyed readin' yours.

I hope I can be as happy and suave (and Pretty) as you at 40! I'm scared of turning 30 right now! I wish I knew how to add my permalink on here or even add your link on my page. I just can't figure it out!

wow, i have so much to look forward to...

'Elder' Sooo does not fit you, but the wisdom does. And really I don't think you should 'flash' people no matter what your age, even if you are 'hot'! :D
Mine 13 are up!

Cute list! I have 17 more years to go before I get there, but the wisdom you impart is good to know!!
Mine are up!
Posted by: Heather | March 16, 2006 at 03:35 PM

Posted by: Lauren | March 16, 2006 at 04:29 PM

Posted by: HolyMama! | March 16, 2006 at 04:34 PM
Man... I'm going through some of that now. And I just turned 30. Why do I always have to be early? ;)

The glasses and grey hairs don't bother me. I don't have wrinkles...yet. And the hot flashes are still a thing of the future for me.
What bothers me about being 40 something is that folks now call me ma'am. That totally freaks me out!
Posted by: Carol | March 17, 2006 at 01:02 AM
LOL - well, you're pulling off 40ish better than I'm pulling off 30ish I think :)
