meara, we all noticed at reunion a couple of months ago that, overall, the men were unrecognizable and the women, physically, seemed to have aged less. It was interesting!
I just need to focus on moving my butt as I age. It is SO not my normal inclination. But my mom's immobility in her last several years was a real lesson. And my aunt, who has always done some light to moderate exercise is spry as can be at 87, barring a joint malfunction that sidelined her for a few weeks -- but her overall inclination toward movement helped her so much in getting back up and about.
Separately...
Happy Birthday, meara! I am wishing you such a good year ahead. You are so fucking fabulous.
Years ago, my regular stylist was out, and the substitute managed to color my hair a delicate purple. It might have been nice, but NOT what I wanted.
Our vw just started a new job that is not wfh, and I’m trying to remind myself not to send her 5 million texts and videos like I’ve done since we both became moms. It’s going to be a weird transition.
Meara, I hope you have a wonderful birthday. We need to plan on being on the same coast some year to have a Virgo bday extravaganza celebration!!!
Happy birthday, meara! I'm sorry the previous best friends are being disappointing, that's a drag. Cupcakes and dancing sounds fun!
People my age seem old to me, definitely. Looking in the mirror can be a bit startling on that front as well, though. Lately I have been noticing when the mother of the main character of a book (and who seems to the mc either ancient or, like, spry for her age) is younger than me and it's pretty frequent.

Oh, that would be a lot of awesome in one place, for sure!
Whenever I see a photo of a mildly famous person I went to college with, I am momentarily alarmed at how old they look. (Kristen Schaal and I are the same age, damnit, why does she look middle aged?! Oh...right...)
Happy Birthday, meara!

Not only am I older than Buffy Summers, I am also older than Rupert Giles. Probably the only BTVS character I'm younger than at this point is Anya.
Happy Birthday, meara!!! I hope you have a wonderful day.
