Aging.
I’ll be 39 in a few days. What is there to say about 39 except ‘Thank God it’s not 40.’ How unoriginal. I’m not sure how much Man Candy will be necessary to see me through, but for some reason it does feel better than 35. And if you’re “only as old as the boys that you feel” than I’m not a spit over 35. So THERE.
And turns out since teens today are such chubs, I actually only feel embarrassed sashaying around the pool in my swim gear because of the octogenarian fitness freaks with 6 pack abs.
I think I’ll have some chips.

Meanwhile, I made my reservation for Blogher finally and plans are shaping up (I have a roomie and plans for drinks and to reconnect with some grad school pals). You going??

Wow, 39. That’s almost as old as my mom. For some reason I thought you were older.
July 6th, 2007 at 10:00 pmHappy Birthday a bit early, Cranks!
July 7th, 2007 at 5:30 amBossy is going to BlogHer. In fact she has designed BlogWhore t-shirts just for the occasion! So Bossy will be the one wearing the BlogWhore t-shirt. In a heap. Under the bar table.
July 7th, 2007 at 7:30 amNow I know why we’re roomies. I’m older than you. 44 ROCKS, btw. You wait. 39, peh!
July 7th, 2007 at 8:51 am39 isn’t so bad. As long as people don’t say “hey, you look 39″
If they do say that, hit them over the head with your cane.

July 8th, 2007 at 3:28 pmCrankmama looks about 29 on her worst days. On her best days, she looks like a troublemaking coed.
Thirty nine…schmirty nine. Whatever.
July 8th, 2007 at 7:19 pmThat guy looks just like me but with a smaller package.
Happy Birthday! I turned 40 last year, and I hate to say it, but it felt old. So I went to Abercrombie and Fitch and bought some knew clothes. (not really)
July 9th, 2007 at 5:24 amHappy B-day — we can commiserate about the “9′s” birthdays soon!
July 9th, 2007 at 6:40 amOh someone’s got to give Whit some love for that comment. I nearly peed myself.
And yes, happy soon-to-be birthday! I’ll join you in a decade.

July 9th, 2007 at 11:51 amHappy Birthday! I’m right behind you. Do something fun to celebrate the last year of the 30′s!

Happy Birthday! I fussed over 39 so much that by the time 40 hit, I was all, eh who cares? (I’m 46 now.)
July 13th, 2007 at 2:19 pmGreat site, and Happy Birthday!
July 13th, 2007 at 4:56 pmJust think when your 50 you’ll look back and think how young and hot you were on this birthday!
