I have no idea what ages are supposed to look like, these days. I mean, I don't feel like I look my age, but then look in the mirror and see the burgeoning wrinkles...and look at folks from college and go "omg when did they get so old?!?" But I also feel like the idea of how old a late 30something should look is affected by like, 1930s depression era starving woman with six kids who looks ancient.
...because really, who tells someone they look OLD for their age??
Speaking of finding one thing that's easy to prepare and eating that all the time (that was today, right? This week, anyway): avocado full of tuna. Nom.
This morning, when a coworker asked how old I was, I told her (39). She said, "Really?" I'm not entirely sure whether that was a compliment.
That's an age no one believes. Drove me nuts when I was 39. And 29. I bet there's less of that assumption at 49, but we'll see.
I managed to get myself to one of the local farmers' markets for Peaches! I resisted buying the white chocolate apricot brioche under the theory that I would be found in the morning surrounded by crumbs, clutching the last slice. I was going to get a sandwich from a food truck, but the woman ahead of me ordered All the Food, and I decided I didn't have enough spoons.
Does everyone know it's Dana's birthday today?
That's an age no one believes
Yeah, everyone believes "54".
Insent to profile addy.
You are exceedingly thorough. Thanks! Although now I'm picturing you with a short hairstyle murder board.
I'm gonna have to bring my tablet to the salon like I did when I went to get my tattoo.

Twenty-nine was the worst, because when I told people I was 29 (if they believed me, because I've always looked young, although I think I totally look my age now [44 in 19 days (shop now! shop now! show now!)]), they always replied with, "Oh, how many times have you been 29? Hurr hurr hurr!!!"
Yeah, that never got old. (And I was always bemused by other women who replied to me saying I was 30 with "You TELL people that?!?" Well, YEAH. That's my AGE. I just don't understand how to human.)

So, 39 today, then? Happy birthday, Dana!
Does everyone know it's Dana's birthday today?
I did not! Many happy returns, Dana!
