Submitted by blog reader Monika, this cracked me up:
I've seen two shows lately that went on and on about how mid-life is a
great time for women. Just last week Oprah had a whole show on how
great menopause will be....Puhleeeeeeeze! I've had a few thoughts of
my own and would like to share them with you. Whether you are pushing
40, 50, 60 or 70(or maybe even just pushing your luck), you'll
probably relate.
Mid-life is when the growth of hair on our legs slows down.
This gives us plenty of time to care for our newly acquired mustache.
In mid-life women no longer have upper arms, we have wing spans. We
are no longer women in sleeveless shirts, we are flying squirrels in
drag.
Mid-life is when you can stand naked in front of a mirror and you can
see your rear without turning around.
Mid-life is when you go for a mammogram and you realize that this is
the only time someone will ask you to appear topless.
Mid-life is when you want to grab every firm young lovely in a tube
top and scream, 'Listen honey, even the Roman empire fell and those
will too'
Mid-life brings wisdom to know that life throws us curves and we're
sitting on our biggest ones.
Mid-life is when you look at your know-it-all, beeper-wearing teenager
and think: 'For this I have stretch marks?'
In mid-life your memory starts to go. In fact the only thing we can
retain is water.
Mid-life means that your Body By Jake now includes Legs By Rand
McNally -- more red and blue lines than an accurately scaled map of
Wisconsin.
Mid-life means that you become more reflective...you start pondering
the 'big' questions:
What is life? Why am I here? How much Healthy Choice ice cream can I
eat before it's no longer a healthy choice?
