Yawn

I warn you ahead of time that this post is not about anything. Like Seinfeld, but without the humor. I haven't been posting alot lately because work has been busy and blah blah blah...I am boring even myself at this point.

Therefore, I give you the following conversation with my husband:

Me: I think the curtains should be 14" long

Him: (measuring the 14" so I can see where they will fall to) Here? Noooooo...too long...

Me: No, I think they are fine there. Any shorter and they will look weird.

Him: The dining room curtains are shorter-

Me: (interrupting) and they look weird.

Him: You don't like the dining room curtains?

Me
: Where did my life go wrong? We used to talk about where we were going to meet up with everyone on Friday night. Now I'm talking about curtains. What happened to spending all our free money on beer and hanging out with our friends. And what about The Gap. Are we too old for The Gap? Suddenly life is just going to work all the time, saving our money, overfunding our life insurance for investment purposes, which rug do you think looks best in this room, permits for additions to the house...and timing when we have sex for optimal baby making. Why does everything have to be so complicated? WHO GIVES A SHIT ABOUT CURTAINS!!!! I don't want to think about what college is going to cost in 18 years and the best plan to prepare for it-I ALREADY WENT TO COLLEGE! And I have to tell you, I wouldn't mind going back.

Him
: (looking seriously upset and concerned) We're not too old for The Gap. Are we?

  1. Um, this very thing has happened to me lately. I have realized that I am too old for a) reading Jane magazine and b) shopping at Forever 21. Depressing!

  4. I think there are some seriously end-of-summer blues going around. And mid-life crisis abounds.

    You just have to force youreselves to find fun things to do. It's so easy to get lost in the day-to-day. There is something to be said for spontenaity! And... I have two words for you -- Banana Republic -- the grown up version of the Gap. It's change my life :)

  13. Me: Great Pats game, huh, Newly?

    Newly:

    Me: Can't believe I was so dumb not to play Maroney in my fantasy league.

    Newly:

    Me: See how much better this might be if you were actually here?
