JBunn on Getting Older

Well, it's June and we all know what that means...it's my birthday MONTH! I have been thinking a lot about age lately, for many reasons, but probably because I am surrounded by so many milestones. Friends and family members are graduating from college, having babies, getting married, getting lower car insurance premiums, worrying about health insurance...and dying. (Not trying to be funny--this kind of stuff will really make a lady think).

Over the past couple of days, I have made a few observations. By now, you may have realized that lists of my observations are a cornerstone of my meanderings. Here goes.

1) Why, at the age of 25 3/4 years, is my skin worse than when I was 14?
2) When did it become necessary to simultaneously whiten, creme remove, pluck, shave and faux tan? Why can't I just be pretty?
3) Why do I feel the ever-presence of "frenemies"? Seriously, folks...frenemy behavior should have ended in high school. Do you ever get the feeling that someone only talks to you or is kind to you when they want something from you? That is a frenemy. I try to avoid these people, but it doesn't always work.
4) Just when you think you have become an adult and no longer have to answer to people, you get another set of people bossing you around?
5) When did news anchors become advocates? They are not supposed to be advocates; their job is to report the news. There is no such thing as "fair and balanced." THE END.


On the bright side, ny new job is much less stressful. The house is finally starting to look like a home. Hopefully, I will soon find a "balance" so that I can have cheerful and upbeat posts soon. :)
