My Randomness

Okay, so maintaining my recent theme...as I approach 40 I am noticing some changes. Looking into a mirror today to put on some make up I noticed two lines above my top lip. Now, as much as I would love to say they are scars from "that thing that happened that one time". They're not. They are wrinkles!! Now obviously I knew, intellectually, that one day I would get wrinkles..laugh lines, crows feet..but these are above my lip and they make me look OLD!!!! What the hell is happening to my body? I have the requisite lines between by eyebrows (from a seemingly endless facial look of WTF?!) but where on earth did the lip lines come from? I showed my mom and she said she saw one maybe but I saw them both, I know she's lying. When did what I see in my head stop matching what my mirror is showing me? I'm calling Shennanigans on this damn it!!      The other day I was shaving my legs and I noticed the tops of my thighs have skin that sags down. Now the one thing I felt co...

In just a few months I'm going to be 40. Here are somethings I want to share with 20 year old me... Dear Me, 1.

Remember these people     Some of them won't be around when we meet, but the times you have with them now are still gonna be sweet!!! 5.Get pregnant Most of all I wanna tell you it's gonna be a really bumpy ride, so try and have fu...

My father didn't love me. When I was about a year old he and his wife (who, for the record, is not my mother) moved away and until I hunted him as an adult he never called, wrote made inquiries about me. I hear you asking, how do you know that? Cause my family didn't stray far from the old homestead for many many years and even a casual attempt to find would have borne fruit. When I did finally track him down and explain who I was the first words my father said to me were,"What can I do for you? Yes, I know who you are. What do you want?" No explanations, no apologies...nothing. Questions about my extended family brought a similar reaction. When I asked for contact info about my "aunt" I was told he would rather not, she didn't know about me, and wouldn't care except as further proof of what a failure as a person he was. I was told I would have to wait for him to speak to my paternal grandparents first before being allowed to contact them. I was i...
