My mid-life crisis

Before I turned 40 I decided I'm done waiting for the perfect time, if I want to do something I'll just do it. So I decided to take up surfing. I tell you, the 40 year old body just isn't quite as reactive as a 20 year old body. That's for sure, but I'm having lots of fun and surprising myself. Today the surf was brutal and I choked myself with the leash when a wave toppled me. Scary, but I kept going. Lots and lots of sting rays, but I still continued. I lasted almost 2 hours and it was only my second time. I'm so proud of myself for not listening to all those people who asked why I wanted to surf. Because I can, duh! Those are the boring people anyway because my friends are adventurous like me so don't let people talk you out of anything you want to do! Just do it!

Seriously? People suck!

Okay so I'm sitting at my desk minding my own business and our accountant comes up and says, "I ran OVAR and now I'm confused". Really? Cause OVAR only runs at month end and this is two days before. Now I'm confused. So I'm thinking retarded or just dumb? Evidently it appears it is only dumb because now she has caused herself much more work that if she had just waited until the actual month end to run her reports. What does this mean you ask? Well in reality not much but in my world it proves the chick with the degree is a serious moron while me ( no degree to speak of) knows better. She's been here 9 months, seriously? WTF?

Okay so since you all don't know I'm married, two kids and I work full time. I'd rather be something much more flamboyant or creative, but here I sit at a desk from 9 to 5 and basically I'm a typing monkey. I'm not discounting what I do, but seriously - If a monkey hit a keyboard they would probably do 50% of what I do. I'm a kick-ass kind of chick, but stuck at a company who wants me to "sit at my desk and type" all friggin day. Borring!

Whatever so I go to college and play solitare. I also chat on yahoo IM sometimes, but mostly I walk. I put on my ipod and I walk. I walk to Jason Mraz or Stuff you should know or whatever is rocking my world. Lately it's always Jason Mraz cause the boy is awesome. I'm seeing him on 10-10-09 at the Hollywood Bowl. Haven't been there yet but I'm a waitin!

I have bought every available recording he has made and I adore him. Him and Toca are such a team. Yes I love the guys who join him in concert, but him and Toca are the Meat and Potatoes & I love it. I'm getting a guitar just so me and the kids can play his songs. Also I offered to get a drum set so we can be the partridge family and play music. Don't tell my 12 year old because she will be sooooo excited.

Long story short - I'm 40ish, have awesome kids, creative, write my own Lyrics/Poetry, and learning guitar, bass, drums and did I mention surfing? LOL yeah I'm doing that as well. I guess everyone is entitled to a mid-life crisis and if mine is surfing & music then I'm good. Life is good. Jason if you can hear me I love you - all you're messages didn't bypass my phone and fly out of my window. LOL

Take care ya'll and be careful to care for your friends. They need you even when they don't ask for it. Be aware and observant. Be a good friend. Namaste
