How can it be....

Here I am in my prime so to say, have a great job, making decent money, new car, great family and friends. So why is it that at the tender age of 39 my body feels like it’s failing me. I gave up the sodas, fast food, I walk 5 days a week and my body is not doing it’s part. I mean my face had always been so nice with combination type skin, now it’s dry and has redness. My eyesight has slightly, i said slightly seem to need a little guidance. My legs have been my best part of the relationship between my body and I, now there is one varicose vein. My hip hurts so bad lately,that I ask my
Mother what does she think and all of the Nurse Mommy diagnosis, says suggests sciatica! Really! Then the always lovely and compassionate ( that would be me using sarcasm ) boyfriend teases that maybe I need a hip replacement because “I am getting up there in age”. Hello, you are only 3 years younger than me! Then there are the Boobs, these girls have had the best if times, I mean the compliments we have received because of you girls, the free drinks, the dinners, that one time you girls got me out of a traffic ticket. At least gravity hasn’t hit us yet. I can proudly say I still got even without a bra on they are still perky. But back to the other parts, I may not have treated you like a Temple, body, but I always made sure we dressed nicely, wore pretty shoes, had a nice tan, and sacrificed the workouts for drinking and dancing. But that was only to show you the appreciation I have for us. So How can it be that after all the good times together that this is how you repay me with these aches and pains. I refuse to go down without a fight, I may be turning a year older but I definitely won’t let it affect my body, the Temple ( well the Temple of Life ). Can someone please get me an icepack, the heating pad, and my glasses…..

Home Alone

I can remember as a teenager, I couldn’t wait to be on my own, with my own house, no curfew, no responsibilities from the parentals. I moved to Florida to live with my Aunt and Uncle, then to my ex-husbands mother’s home with him (we were building our house needless to say it wasn’t the best of circumstances), finally to our own home. Even after my divorce I lived with my family until I found my own place. It was great except not much furniture, I was never home except to shower, sleep, or it was the meeting place for the night on the town with all of my friends. Then I meet the present boyfriend, fell madly in love and I moved in together way too soon. Needless to say I have never really lived on my own to appreciate life on my own. I wish now I would’ve made better choices back then to really have live the single life as an adult who wasn’t using her previous home as a sleep, eat, and drink station. I appreciate my alone time, reading a book, cooking what I want, drinking a glass of wine, not having to pick up after someone 24/7, and having a clean home to come too at the end of the day. All I can say is live life to the fullest and appreciate your time because it all changes when you involve someone else in your equation. I think now, that being Home Alone is probably the best feeling of being an adult.

Here is how I see it...

Here I am working in a man’s world, and know as much or if not more than the man himself. Why is it that to the men in this environment, they can’t see past the boobs, the eyes, and smile, to see the brain and the smarts that a woman actually has to offer. And we are offended by this as a woman. But, when it is between woman to woman, we can’t see past the boobs, the hair, make-up, and the clothes that she is wearing, to see the brain and the smarts that she has to offer. In this time of when looks outweighs the smarts, how is it that as a woman we can judge a book by its cover, that we get pissed when a man can’t get past our looks to see have the smarts. Maybe, we should see that one can have the brains and the looks and still work in a man’s world, but still be judged by our looks in a woman’s eyes. Something to think about…………

Hello World

Hello World, how ya been….. so I decided today was the day to make changes and I did by having my own blog. There are so many things in this world that passes us by that we forget to stop to “smell the flowers”. I have so much to say, my opinions, views, or whatever it may be is what needs to be expressed in this point in my life. I have been married, I have traveled, been divorced, love gained and love lost, I have lived a life that many cant say that they have, because of my life experiences I have so much to say. So, hopefully some will like,  hate, laugh or even cry but in the end it is my words!
