DEEP THOUGHTS FROM A 50 SOMETHING YR OLD WOMAN

-


Since passing the 50 yard line - I have been experiencing some deep thoughts about all the stuff I am going to do when I am a Golden Girl. 

 Here are the top 13 -  I couldn't stop at 10 because I am far too excited in anticipation of all that is to come:

 13 -JOIN A SENIORS SYNCHRONIZED SWIMMING TROUPE  EVEN THOUGH THERE IS NOTHING ABOUT MY LIFE THAT IS SYNCHRONIZED AND THE BEST CONTRIBUTION I CAN MAKE IS BUBBLES FROM A FART IN THE POOL.
12 -ASK ONE OF THE HOT ORDERLIES TO CALL ME BABE (AND GIVE ME A SPONGE BATH).

11-CINNAMON DANISH OR SEX = CINNAMON DANISH (UNLESS THE AFOREMENTIONED ORDERLY DIVES IN DURING THE SPONGE BATH AND DOES SOME "SYCRONIZATION"
10-SUPER SIZE MY FRIES. Bring on the calories. It's time to let it all go.

9-TALK TO MYSELF WHEN SOMEONE IS TALKING TO ME (IF ANYONE IS ACTUALLY WILLING TO TALK TO ME). 

8-BRING ON THE DENTURES - NO SENSE IN HAVING TEETH ANYMORE OR GOING TO THE DENTIST AND I AM GOING TO EAT TONS OF GUMMIES AND CARAMEL POPCORN AND IF ANYTHING GETS STUCK - I AM JUST GOING TO SAVE IT FOR LATER.

7-WEAR SWEAT PANTS EVERY DAY - WE'RE TALKING GREY DRAWSTRING WORN REAL LOW (NOT THAT LOW) AND AN EXPOS SHIRT THAT MAY WILL THEM BACK AND DON'T EVER FORGET THE BASEBALL CAP.



                            Before I am Golden - I would very much like to reenact that scene from Lost in Translation - the end when Bill Murray tells his driver to stop the car because he sees Scarlett Johansson walking through the market. He runs to her (in my case he would be running to me) and he gives her a great - really great - soft - non invasive - warm kiss. I want that kind of kiss before I turn to gold - Bill Murray wherever you are - I'm already silver - come find me.

6-SING "THANK YOU FOR BEING A FRIEND" TO ALL OF THE FRIENDS I HAVE HAD SINCE GRADE SCHOOL AND HAVE STUCK AROUND AND WILL BE THERE EVEN WHEN MY TEETH FALL OUT, MY FACE IS COVERED IN CHOCOLATE, I'M TAKING WAY TOO MANY SPONGE BATHS, I AM KICKED OFF THE SYNCHRONIZED SWIMMING TROUPE FOR FARTING IN THE POOL,  I AM FAT FROM SUPER SIZING MY FRIES.

5-ASK FOR A SENIORS DISCOUNT EVERYWHERE. THAT INCLUDES YOU STARBUCKS.

4-WHEEL MY GROCERIES HOME IN ONE OF THOSE BAGS ON WHEELS - GET OUT OF MY WAY BECAUSE I AM AN AWFUL GROCERY BAG ON WHEELS DRIVER. APPARENTLY I NEVER SIGNAL.

3-WATCH LOTS OF NETFLIX AND EAT LOTS OF KETTLE CHIPS (ALREADY DOING THIS SO SHOULD BE A PRO BY THE TIME I AM GOLDEN).

2-WITNESS THE RESHAPING, STRETCHING AND FRECKLING OF THE TATTOOS THAT I GOT WHEN I WAS IN MY 20S; NOT BEING WISE ENOUGH TO THINK ABOUT WHAT THEY WOULD LOOK LIKE WHEN I WAS NO LONGER IN MY 20S 

1-AND FINALLY (FOR THOSE OF YOU STILL READING THIS) - I WILL SIT BACK, RELAX, REFLECT ON MY LIFE AND ALL OF THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE ENRICHED IT AND THOSE I LOVE AND MISS AND IF THAT IS THE ONLY THING MY MIND CAN REMEMBER BY THE TIME I AM GOLDEN - THAT WOULD BE TRULY GOLDEN.
                                                            
What are you going to do when you are Golden?

SURVIVOR AND WHY JEFF WON'T SEE ME IN MY UNDERWEAR

-
Image
It’s Friday night and I am fully reclined on my Lazy Boy eating Miss Vickie’s Chips. I buy 3 different flavours and I mix them all into one bowl. I’ve substituted that for foreplay and so far it’s doing the trick. I’m watching Survivor (on demand) and the players are starving, sweating, dreaming of toilet paper, a burger, and fries. They are at one of those obstacle courses and Jeff is shouting the instructions. They don’t understand a single word, neither do I and I have shelter, air conditioning and a mouth full of chips. Now my Uber Eats has just arrived, I’m digging into my Cote St. Luc BBQ Chicken with those amazing fries (chips and fries = two sources of vitamin C in one night), there’s some gravy dipping going on and it’s the part of the show when those headless people demonstrate the obstacle course. Who are those people? How can I get that job? Also, why is everyone always wet and how do they suddenly have blazers and fedoras and hip clothing? Is there a retro shop on the isla...

IF PAD THAI FALLS ONTO YOUR SHIRT - DOES ANYBODY HEAR IT?

-

I’m lounging. It’s 7pm on a Friday night. The work week is done. I reward myself with Pad Thai (uh huh...from the box). I’m in my regular dining spot; my Lazyboy (digestion position - midway back). I’m watching TV while my dog watches me (he is familiar with my mediocre chopstick skills). I’m thinking, “This Pad Thai is delicious. What a great start to yet another exciting weekend” and then it happens:   The following is in slow motion… noodles covered in tiny pieces of peanuts on way to mouth – leap off the chopsticks onto   shirt Everything stops – my entire world – as I fathom what to do next. I could set my hand into “pickle claw” position and “pick” it from my shirt. I could remove the shirt altogether and change into another. Aaaaa....too much work - so I leave it on my shirt. I’m streaming “This is Us” so I know I am going to start crying at any moment and if I put it on pause then I’ll have to start crying all over again. Then...

RUNNING WITH GHOSTS

-
Image
I went for a run. The rain was falling hard, the fog had set in. I came around a bend and a woman approached me. There was no one else in sight and she appeared as a silhouette carrying an air of grace. When she spoke I heard my Grandmother's voice and when I looked into her eyes, I saw a deep soulful speck of light from a moment in the past. My Grandmother had MS and was paralyzed from the neck down. She spent over 30 years in a hospital bed unable to move. In her 80's, she passed away from complications of pneumonia and I was thankful for that pneumonia because it had provided her with a long overdue end to the pain and suffering she had endured. We ran a few more blocks and then this strange spirit in the shape of a woman said, "I have to go now. I wish I could stay here with you." Then she vanished into the mist, into a place I've never been.                                        ...
