Last night, SkinnyHusband and I went to a party, like a legit let's drink party. Of course I didn't drink but I watched everyone else go at it.
People played drinking games and laughed at each other. I laughed too. I had a good time. It was just too loud for me. You see, I'm an old lady. I've been an old lady for years. Loud talking is just noise. Concerts, Sporting Events, Festivals, etc...they are all limited amount of time things for me.
I love little things and silly things too. I love some of my toys still-like Polly Pocket. That chick had everything and you could put her in your pocket! I enjoy coloring. I love bubble bath beards and shampoo mohawks. But I also enjoy knitting, reading, and watching the golden girls.
I've known for a long time that I was not meant to be a wild woman. While all this might be depressing for other people my age, I'm happy with it. I'm never going to be a wild and crazy girl and I've embraced it. I think it's important to remember who you are and what you love about yourself when going through changes.
Sometimes you get focused on the negative. I use to almost feel bad when people called me strange or weird or old or immature. I see it as a compliment now.
SkinnyHusband and I spent 4 hours just sitting on our back deck doing nothing today. It was awesome. Just sitting there enjoying each other. The best part to me is that I can sit in the chair and not worry about exceeding the weight limit. I won't tell him that but it was awesome.
