Think I'll make a berry rum smash for our porch drinks!
That sounds lovely.
Thank goodness, we've moved into the crudite portion of the CSA. Dinner tonight is kohlrabi, carrot, radish, broccoli, all just raw. With dip! There will need to be salad later, but not today! ("Not today, Satan!")
...OK, plus chips.
Isaac keeps popping the wire off his new braces. Ugh!
Dear librarian warlords, I love you a lot.
Had dinner tonight with a theater friend from college. We were never close but still keep up on Facebook and hey, I'm in her city. I'm so jealous of her house and her sewing space! So cool!! And it was so weird because to me she still looks just the same, though with slightly different hair. But her husband is three years younger than her (and she's a year younger than me) and I thought he looked old. Which makes me suspect she and I also look old, but still see each other/ourselves as we looked when younger?
Nah, I think mid 30s-50s are the ages when people can look the most drastically different "for their age." Is he balding? That's a big one for aging men.
There was an article in the news yesterday saying that certain aging markers (I forget which--things like BP, maybe?) differed significantly for different people. So maybe he's aging faster than you, meara.
ETA: Here's the article. [link]
I'm in Maine this week, and the law here is that they have to card anyone who looks under 30, and I've been carded every time I've ordered a drink. So I at least look under 30.
Oh sure--she just went to 15 year reunion and the girls tend to look a lot less different than the boys, that's for sure. But even still--it's not that if I'd seen him out I would've thought he was 40 rather than 34, just...
A friend of mine always says that men's looks change more drastically than women's as they age. They tend to get fatter, greyer, balder. Partly it's that they feel less pressure to try to look younger or mask the signs of aging.
