halfway to 70+1(day)

As Brandi pointed out yesterday, I'm halfway to 70 now. I guess she was trying to make me feel old or something. I don't. 35 is a cool age so far. I mean, I only have one day of experience with it, but so far it's cool.

I wanted to write the top 5 things I learned this year. I intended to be reflective and deep. You mofos know that I'm not that deep, and my favorite reflection is my own. Yeah.........so here goes:
  1. I prefer red wine, dark beers, and strong coffee. So far, I haven't gotten into drugs, random sex with strangers, and cigarettes. I don't intend to. Don't worry.
  2. Teenagers are nosy little fuckers.
  3. Underwear is overrated.
  4. I'm starting this new year of my life with one less friend. I wish I could say that I'm over it, but I'm not.
  5. Fuck it.

Considering I'm two months older than you, if you're old I'm old too. I wasn't trying to make you feel old.

Halfway to 70 sounds better to me than thinking of officially being closer to 40 than 30. I mean, 35 years is a LONG time, and that's ONLY halfway to 70. And odds are, you'll live longer than 70. So to me, being only halfway to 70 is a good thing.

The hardest part about being 35 for me has been that I still feel 20 in my head. But that was hard at 30, 31, 32, 33 and 34 too.

Hey, Happy Birthday! As someone who is halfway to 80, I can confirm that age is all in your head, and since we all feel like we're 20, we're 20, dammit.

I am concerned about the whole underwear thing, though. You're not going commando, are you? Between you going commando and Sylwia letting her girls fly free, I'm just afraid to be around either of you now.

Happy Birthday! I like and generally agree with your reflections, although I have to say I do like underwear a lot more than I used to. And if you and Brandi are old, I'm really old.

I don't feel old at all. I feel younger and better and hotter now at 35 than I did at 25.

Age ain't nothin but a number.

Just found your blog and love it! I had cookies for breakfast just yesterday. But OMG, I'm almost halfway to a century!

I agree with some of your list except for the beer. Substitute rum or vodka instead. And I have a teenager that out nosies all others! She found my high school journal and I keep moving my dildo so she won't find it too. And I've lost many, many friends this past year since I stopped going to church. Guess they weren't really my friends after all.

But I love, love, love underwear now. But NO WHITE! And thongs are really very comfy and don't give you panty lines so no one realizes you're no longer wearing the sacred underwear. I relish the irony.

@J - No underwear = no lines also. I used to wear thongs, but for some reason I stopped wearing them and started going commando. I'll still wear drawers, but I'm so picky now.

I'm not a huge fan of vodka, but I like rum. I gave up on hiding the dildo. If she finds it, then it's her fault if she has mental images of her parents having sex and using sexy toys. Glad to meet you!

@Lydia - Don't worry, I'm modest enough that you'll never have to worry about seeing my labia. I almost always wear drawers when I wear a skirt, and also when it's 'that time'. I wouldn't want to ruin a good pair of lucky's.
