Surprise, I'm baaaaaaccccckkkkk!

I realize that I have completely neglected my fan base by ignoring my Blogging duties for the last couple of months however, I am now back to it. It's a new year resolution for god sake. So give a girl a break and just read.

It's a Friday evening, I'm downtown at the Yonge/Dundas intersection of Toronto. There are all sorts of people about heading out for the evening in their fancy outfits with their phones a buzzing with various offers for the evening. A young fellow walks swiftly past speaking to a friend about a "houseparty" dance at the Limelight. "Ya, I'll be there around 10:30. See ya then". 10:30.... that's when I got home for the evening and hunkered down with my family and played a trivia video game. 10:30 my ass. Ya, I was out that evening as well but it was the early evening...6:50pm to be exact. I was heading for the early screening of a film. I met my "on my way to 40" friend, Jamie, we got in line for our starbucks and headed into a wonderful film about the day in the life of a middle aged man ready off himself as a result of loss and hopelessness for the future. Now that is a Friday evening.
................................................NOT!

Pathetic, I was once that young fella on the phone. I was once calling to see where the after hours dance was going to be once we had had a few at the local pub and 6:50pm use to be when I jumped in the shower prior to dinner and then the evening. What has happened. As a matter of fact it is still the same evening and I am typing my Blog at 11:10pm. Ahhhhhhhhhhh........

Or is it. I kind of like the idea that I am relaxed and I don't have to put on make up, fancy myself up and prove that I can drink, party and hopefully pick up at one point in the evening. Instead I have my good friends and family to help entertain me on Friday................... I am the luckiest 39ish chick I know. Ya, that guy on the phone is right now partying, drinking and laughing with his latest squeeze but hey, done that, been there, kind of like the next stage. Possibly, once my 40's actually do kick in I'll be ready for the next stage.....................Bed by 10:00pm on Friday (sex included).

That's all.
