A BLAST from the past

Your T.V. looked like this

http://pinterest.com/angelkisse/life-in-the-60s-and-70s/

and these sat on top of them

and you watched this and wondered how she fit in the lamp

one of these sat on your parent's end table

and this was state of the art

one of these hung on the kitchen wall ( with an extra long cord so you could sneak into the next room)

if you can still remember every episode of this

or faking a tummy ache to get some of these

if these were a prized possesion - ( played outside on pavement was the best )

if this is the first book you can remember reading

if you went here regularly ( extra points if you can still remember the smell of thousands of books in one room )

if you were a champion at this

and a marvel at these

if your mode of transportation were these

if you longed to meet him

if fast food meant this

 if your state of the art blowdryer looked like this

and cell phones looked like this

if this was the greatest thing ever

well next to this anyway

If you can remember taking your frustrations out on this

or men visiting your house every morning ( remember getting chocolate milk as a special treat? )

and lastly if this was what led to your mad typing skills as a blogger

Then you have some pretty incredible memories ......................
I'm far too young to recognize any of these myself LMHO..................

These were all found on this Pinterest Board  - what an awesome page - take a moment to check it out
( if this post applies to you )

Have a wonderful Sunday everyone.
I feel old ( again )
Hugs,

My Arms look like Gravy....................

The other day I was in the mirror getting dressed and I had to twist my arm behind me to zip up a dress and I almost puked.

My arms - OMG - my nice smooth toned arms have turned into a bowl of lumpy gravy this year.
WHEN DOES THIS HAPPEN?
HOW DOES THIS HAPPEN?
WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN?

What did we women ever do to deserve the crap we have to go through?
Besides making Adam take a bite out of a crummy apple?

Childbirth - check - I dealt with that
Period cramps - check - I dealt with that
Peri-menopause - check - I dealt with that
Menopause - check - I'm dealing with that

But this?  This may just be the straw that broke the camel's back
What's next - saggy knees?
( along with other saggy things ? )

I'm 54 - is this normal?

And because I happened to see this abnormality you just know I stood in that mirror for a very unhealthy amount of time - staring in morbid fascination - and moving them in different positions - to see just how bad they can look from every angle...............

I'm traumatized.
I'm devastated.
I'm in mourning.

For my arms.

Dear God - I can't take much more of this........................last year I was complaining that they looked like Jello and I thought that was bad - they wobbled but at least they were smooth.

How the hell can I age gracefully with lumps...................lumps are the least graceful thing in the world.
I hate them in my gravy.
And I hate them on my arms..................

The End.
