I am 45 today. What does this mean?
1) 25 years ago I was 20 (!) 25 years from now I will be 70!!!
2) I will have to check a different box on surveys that ask your age range.
3) I am on the "hump year" of my 40's (kind of like Wednesday is the hump day of the work week,...)
4) I am in the WORST physical shape of my life. Lovely
5) Menopause is right around the corner, beckoning me with a crooked finger.
6) I am 15 years away from a discounted cup of coffee at McDonald's.
7) I am 10 years away from qualifying for membership in AARP!
8) I am most DEFINITELY middle aged! If I live to be 90, that is.
9) I can finally appreciate all the complaints of aches and pains my parents have been grumbling about all these years.
10) And the most important part of being 45 is...
I have an amazing family, incredible friends, a wonderful life, all my mental faculties and I have rediscovered my love of writing after too many dormant years.
So here's to being 45! It's sure better than the alternative!

Dear Flossy - Happy Birthday you old fart! Just kidding. I am so glad you are in my life. You keep me laughing in the good times and the bad and we damn, we ALWAYS have something to laugh about!!
You may be 45, but you LOOK 32!! Really! xo Fitfreak
Plz excuse the misspelling in the previous comment....
the wording should be...
"and damn, we ALWAYS have something to laugh about!"
Stupid eblog will not let you edit comments! Pooee!
I thought the misspelling was that I looked 32...you meant to say 22 RIGHT???
(or did you mean to say 42? Either way I'll take it!)
I'm turing 45 in a few weeks too and while not exactly looking forward to that milestone, it will mean that I have to endure this little exchange for only a few more years. Kids "Mommy how old are you?" Me "Sigh." Kids "Come on, say it. Say it like GRANDPA!" (Grandpa is Irish.) Me "Oh all right. I'm FARTY FAR!" Hysterical laughter.
