Used to be weird, like watching an elephant take flight wearing lollipop donkey pants.
But now totally cool:
- Having three kids each spaced seven years apart
- Putting on pants and wearing them all day
- Dating my husband
- Writing everyday even if it’s 100% digital
- Going 15 years without finishing a good novel. Reading one, not, laughably, writing one
- Texting more than talking. In three years, my hair stylist and I have talked on the phone exactly twice
- The ways my iPhone has changed and simplified my life
- Jordan on a bike
- Nurturing long-distance and Internet friendships
- My parents turning 65. I remember my dad’s 27th birthday party. Bid Whist, Marvin Gaye, Wild Turkey and Kools
Things that used to blow your mind in comments…
Dating someone and not talking to them on the phone every day. Weird. But now totally cool.
@Voix, any day feels like everyday if you both are cool with it. Does he email or text? I’m only curious.
@fringes, He does email and text. It’s nice, because I don’t have to worry about hearing from him — I know when I do, it’s because he’s got time to think about me. Otherwise, he’s just as busy as I am and isn’t worried about hearing from me either.
@Voix, I love the emails and texts exactly because it shows Q is thinking of me. So even if your guy isn’t a phone guy (sounds like it to me) the other stuff, the little stuff, means, to me, you’re on his mind. More of that.
Announcing to the world that you have a shrink. Used to be so hush hush but now almost every one has one.
I remember when my mom was 32. So dang OLD.
For me? What blows my mind? I’m married to AND HAVING SEX WITH a Republican. Go figure.
Had to visit this one first….What blows my mind is that 13 years ago I was single and childless. Now, I’m 41, have a daughter in COLLEGE, and 2 boys IN SCHOOL. Not to mention that I have shared a bed with the same man for 13 years.
Crazy.
