A Change in Plans

Currently, I am reading “The Breaking Point – How Female Midlife Crisis is Transforming Today’s Women” by Sue Shellenbarger. It is really opening my eyes to the fact that this dealing-with-turning-50 thing really is something that many women contend with. In fact, the studies show that more women than men are reporting this phenomenon, and the age range varies from early 40s to late 50s.
I offer this as a sort of excuse for the fact that I have cancelled my spa trip because I went out last Saturday and bought a new car. A zippy, metallic blue, 5-speed compact that even my 19-year old son has declared as “cool.”
I think I’ll still get a massage on my birthday, if I can get out of the car long enough.
