Growing Old on T-13

It's time again for T-13 .. so I was a little confused last week, and thought that was the last Thursday in February .. so this one is shamelessly stolen from Just a hippie gypsy:

13 Indications that you are growing old:


 1.  Realizing that the age gap of 12 years is just too big when you're going to be 46, and he 34
      and knowing he's 54 and you're 46 is not so bad! (OMG~ that's a 20 yr gap!)
 2.  Pandora music selection is always on 60's, 70's and 80's
 3.  OMG .. I'm the youngest of four, and I'm going to be 46
 4.  Recuperating from long runs take so much longer now
 5.  PAIN in the hips .. consistently
 6.  Better empty that bladder before any type of cardio workout!
 7.  Be mindful of what you eat ... or else you'll be making noise when you walk!
 8.  Gray hairs .. not always on your head?????????
 9.  Your teenager says "Mom, stop talking, I'm going to put you in a home"
10.  Love talking to my mom .. and she is going to be 77!
11.  Seeing your hairdresser for color every four weeks .. because those damn grays are popping up more
12.  Wrinkles and parentheses ... I'm not talking about ironing or English grammar
13.  lastly, always driving the speed limit

Happy Thurday!

T13 for the Month of February

It's the last Thursday of the Month .. so It's time for a different T-13 .. click here to play:


Current Scent:  I was in one of the hotels, and those little bottles .. they had a lemon-ginger body lotion, shampoo and conditioner set ... note to self: look for it!

What I am reading: next to my bed :Mortgages: what you need to know

Newest Music:  I downloaded about 15 songs in one morning .. old and new .. of course A Little Bit Stronger seemed to be the theme for the month ..:
...I know my heart will never be the same, but I'm telling myself I'll be okay. Even on my weakest days, I get a little bit stronger ..
Movie I saw:  I watched Bridesmaid for the second time .. quite hilarious

Something Yummy: hot chocolate with a scoop of instant coffee and Chocolate Raspberry creamer

The last place I ate: Slates in Hallowell with Karen

Something that made me cry: the e-card that came on Valentine's day ... he lasted a little over five weeks without communications .. he seems to know when I am starting to move along, and he reaches out

Something that made me laugh: early, early this morning laying beside that man, comparing dating stories 

Something I look forward to in March:  One word .. 6 letters ... starts with S and ends in G .. hint: after Winter comes ......

Something I want to remember from February:  being in Massachusetts twice .. I think I like Boston, maybe it's time to return to Boston

Something I am thankful for:  always my teenagers .. and always the ability to earn my money.. my job continues to challenge me 

A photo I took this month:   the original seats at Fenway Park

Wordless Wednesday

Sunday Stealing for Today

For Sunday, we'll play Sunday Stealing .. where we use stolen blogs ..

In your opinion, what makes a great relationship? Trust and Love brings Passion. I think they all have to be there to keep the relationship great.

How did/could someone win your heart? Love and kindness could win my heart, but at this moment my heart has been shaken ... so I'm getting a little protective, and really not sure if it can be won anymore

In your world, what brings on more creativity? If I knew this answer, I would pursue it! My creative photography juices have disappeared ..

What is the single best decision you have made in your life so far? My recent job change? I think it's too soon to tell ... leaving my marriage? I have more happy moments now than I realized ..  allowing my heart to be stolen? I have never loved so deeply!

Why did you break up with your last ex? Truth be told, he did the breaking, but I was at the door .. I found myself having lost the trust, and felt I was no longer important enough to him.

What is your favorite word? Ha, ha ..who am I talking to?? I like to say "why"

What would you want to be written on your tombstone? I hope I don't have a tombstone .. just "sink me in the river, at dawn, send me away with the words of a love song" 

Give me the first thing that comes to mind when you hear the word: delusional Bruce my dog

What is a saying you use a lot? "do you know what i mean?"

What is your current desktop picture?

My Iphone

What would be a question where you'd not tell the truth? Did you eat that whole bag of Trader Joe's Trail Mix .. all 1500 calories worth in one day??

You accidentally eat some radioactive vegetables. They were good, and what's even better is that they endow you with super powers of your choice. What is that power? To grow that money tree that teenagers seem to think I have (yes, that too is a super power!)

You can re-live any point of time in your life. The time-span can only be a half-hour, what half-hour experience would you relive? That evening we sat on the floor, ate take out, and allowed our toes to touch

Erase any a horrible experience from your past, what will it be? Standing next to my dad's hearse ..  and silently not wanting to accept that we were going to his memorial service

You just got a free plane ticket to anywhere. You have to depart right now.. where would you go? Can I bring a 'friend' ??? All exclusive beach resort ... what I would do to be back on a beach!!


Happy start of a new week!
