A Week Away From My Birthday

Now that my birthday is only one week away, I'm starting to think about how one year older is going to feel. When I entered into my 30s it was the worst feeling ever! I have never been able to see myself as anything other than old (oh and chubby, but that's another post). I think now as time progresses, I'm starting to get comfortable with my age. Which is a good thing, but also bad, because now that I've accepted my 30s, in the blink of an eye I'll be looking down the barrel of 40!!! Let's not get ahead of ourselves...so I haven't changed any regimens or anything. I think I take care of my skin less as well as I used to in my 20s. I still wash and exfoliate and use a wash with salicylic acid and benzoil peroxide and I still use SPF everyday, but I'm not using body lotion as much, and spreading out my usage of eye and neck cream. I hardly ever use hand cream and that's become a huge fear of mine...old lady veiny hands! Maybe I'm subconsciously rebelling. I don't want to become a slave to age! As it is everyone that meets me never believes how old I am. You should see the reaction when someone (guy or girl) finds out. rather a bit dramatic it tends to be. I guess its because I don't feel old, I don't "act" it, I haven't any children to wear me down to old lady town, so maybe that's it. At any rate, I was thinking about myself and then about others my age. I thought about celebrity women that are in my age group, and I think I'm pretty damned good company! See for your self....

So I think, after looking at these women and realizing that they have tons of money to keep them looking this good (even the ones with kids and husbands), I'm not half bad for just being your average bitch on the block. I guess I should be happy that I'm holding up well, now if I could only motivate my fat ass to get in the gym! Oy!
