Well, I'm certainly feeling better (had a good experience today).
I recently turned 47, ugh.... Those numbers just have a way of makin' a fella feel old.

I sell vintage musical instrument catalogs on ebay. This guy that won one of my auctions worked just a few miles down the road so I met him to complete the transaction.

We're both musicians, right? So we're talking and he mentions that he's 41. And he says in such a way that I realize he thinks I'm much younger than that. I was a little shocked that he was only 41. He looked more like 55. And, if I must say so myself, I'm looking pretty good lately. I got depressed after getting dumped recently (we're still friends) and put on 10-15 pounds, but I've gotten most of that off now.

Chaska's still got it, ya'll.

And appologies to anyone I may have offended with my rant this morning. I was angry about something completely unrelated.

1. Doesn't it make you feel great
when someone thinks you are younger than you are? I had a person I truly admire tell an interviewer that I was a 'young lady', which made my day (along with the fact that he mentioned my name in the interview!)

4. You are only as old as you feel.
I'm about 26! Glad you are feeling better.
