I just realized that in 3 1/2 years I will be 40.
Perhaps if I were happier with my life, that realization wouldn't bother me so much. But I feel stagnant. And 40 is just a massive speed bump that I'm rushing to at 80 miles per hour and when I hit it I will be propelled into middle age.
Middle age?????????? I wear Doc Martens for Christ's sake?!!!!! How can I possibly be any where in the same vicinity of 40?!?!?!?!?!?!
I can already picture my poor ovaries with long, grey beards and sitting in wheel chairs. "Jennifer, you never used us!!! Why did we waste our time inside you????" I feel sick.
In other news, I invented a new chicken dish. Well, I'm sure it's been done before, but I threw it together and was very happy with the result. Chop up a whole bunch of red onion and saute it with a chicken breast seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic, and parsley. When it's all cooked, pile the onions on top of the chicken and cover with shredded mozzarella. Then cover for five minutes while the cheese gets all melty and browns. DELICIOUS!!!!
I was also very excited to hear from my old best friend, Sean, yesterday. Sean and I were glued together for a good four or five years in the early 90's, but then drifted apart as many people tend to do as they get older. He lives in Berlin, Germany now with his wife, but they are in Philly for a month or so. So he called me yesterday and we talked for a bit and are going to get together while he's in the country. I'm really looking forward to seeing him and just spending a bit of time together.
Yeah, I'm still stuck on that whole 40 thing.
