Age

Do you remember being young and thinking that 30 was so old? How about 40? I now look at people that are 50 - almost 20 years older than I am now - and think, "Huh, you don't look old."

I know what changed the perception. I aged. I added years and wisdom to my psyche. I no longer judge people solely on their looks (you know it matters, don't say you don't notice). I listen to their words before I determine what type of person they are. I see beauty and sexuality in all those around me, not just the young hot 20 somethings. They actually seem a little off now. I envy their physical beauty, but I also know now that intelligence, humor, and wisdom are the things that will keep me interested in them after the initial luster wears thin.

I know this is a sign of age. Hopefully it is also a sign of maturity.

The one great thing about getting older is I have better toys. So there.

Wow. It's been a Monday.

Lala: "Can I help you?"
Stupid Nurse: "I need to talk to the Dr.."
Lala: "I'm the nurse, can I help you?"
Stupid Nurse: "Who is this?"
Lala: "Lala."
Stupid Nurse: "Lala the nurse?"
Lala: Oh. My. God. "Yes, Lala the nurse."
Stupid Nurse: "Can I talk to her?"
Lala: What? "Who?"
Stupid Nurse: "Argh! Lala the nurse!"
Lala: Wow. "I am Lala the nurse. Can I help you?" Maybe I can recommend a brain transplant
or something else along those lines?
Stupid Nurse: "Oh! You're the nurse? Oh, never mind, Vickie's here." Click
Lala: "AHAHAHAH!"
Lulu: "I told you she was stupid."

That was one of the most intelligent conversations that I had today.
