its finally happened------I'm turning 40


I would love to say that now that I'm on the teetering edge of forty that my life has finally fallen into place---its my time of life for reflection and assessment, at least that's what I keep hearing. The truth is finally reaching 40 was nothing like I expected, I don't feel any different then I did when I was twenty. I make more money, have a better job, wear classier clothes, my hair isn't blue anymore, and I don't listen to heavy metal anymore, (I gave it up when I heard a bon jovi and def leopard tunes playing on the old radio station as a golden oldie. Even Ozzy and Gene Simmons has a family show on network television--talk about altering one's universe when the rock, sex god, idols turn into the brady bunch for mass entertainment).

I though when I finished high school I would find a nice boy, settle down, have a few , a small house with a white picket fence and a named spot I could take to the groomers once a week---well that never happened, as my mother keeps reminding me that my eggs aren't getting any fresher and she is still grandchildless. I thought I'd be pinching pennies to save up for their college educations to feel I've contributed to society, attend PTA meetings to argue over which muffins to bake for the next meeting, and have at least a decade to bitch at my husband for hogging the remote and leaving the toilet seat up. We would grow up and grow old together and watch our go off to their lives to make all the stupid mistakes we made, spoil the grandchildren rotten as revenge, then send them home, and spend all their inheritence by living until we were ninty. it was a simple dream.

What the hell happened? One minute I'm turning 21 and just allowed to drink in public, learning to use a condom, and evolving enough to realize that making out in the back seat of a car is not quite as thrilling or as comfortable as a real live bed. The next minute I'm counting gray hairs, my ass is heading to the equator, I'm passing my twenty fifth year working which is older then most of my coworkers, and the men I'm dating are commitment phobics permanently scarred by exwives and divorce lawyers, living on daily viagra suppliments in order keep up with appearances, and following fitness regimes that would collapse the triple crown winner at the darby to prove to the world they aren't entering those heart attach years. I get more passes from men my father's age then my own. I have to say for a woman who would still love to have , talking about retirement portfolios over dinner is not a great comfort any way you slice it. I suddenly realized to my utter shock, I'm not young anymore, I'm 40, and somewhere along the way the hour glass of time went into warp speed leaving me standing on the dock waving with my ticket as the boat was leaving.

I'm 40, and there's not a damn thing I can do about it. So I'm having a huge party, hoping to consume more then my fair amount of alcoholic libation, find the sexiest, buffest human creature with two legs and a penis, preferably who still has his own hair, or at least is sexily completely bald, and assault him with my walker---Its time to show those youngin's how we old girls set the world on fire. After which, I plan to buy large amounts of stock in hershy, eat bon bons until my ass explodes, and watch reality TV until my brain rots away to the core. After all, a woman has a higher chance of being abducted by terrorist, or aliens for that matter, then she has for getting married once she reaches 40. I thought I'd get my bid in early.

So what is your opinion on getting older?
