Well, That's a Relief...

I just took the test at http://realage.com/ because I'm reading "YOU: Staying Young" by Roizen and Oz.

(Yes, Jesse, it's probably on the Oprah's bookclub reading list. Go ahead and pick on me.)

Anyway, one of the things they suggest doing is taking this test to determine your real age. So, I went to the site and entered in answers to a bunch of different questions, like do you floss? What is your weight/height? What prescriptions do you take? Do you have any friends? Was your family weird growing up? Are you an orphan? Do you eat vegetables?

Anyway...drum roll...my real age:

32.3

I was all excited for it to tell me 26 or something, because I think I do OK.

I'll bet this is because I admitted that I don't floss (I use Crest rinse, doesn't that count?!). So--I'm interested to find out what my non-veggie eating, non-flossing husband's real age is. Probably 26, knowing his luck.

Hans, I officially dare you to take the Real Age quiz (and NO cheating). The rest of you should take it too, it's kind of neat and it's free.

I'm afraid to take it ( although I may in the future) it may show that I am older than I am, even though I try hard to be younger than my peers.

I'll never forget Marcy telling me you have an "old soul". Well, I guess we can scratch that one...although you still are mature for your age! Congratulations on being "normal"!

You'd think I'd be a wiser and more content person if I had an old soul...

UPDATE: Hans took the test. I watched over his shoulder to make sure he didn't lie in the "vegetable/fruit eating" and "flossing" sections. He says that he hasn't gotten his results...

I took it years ago and was about 5 years younger than my actual age. I don't want to retake it...
I don't remember if Chad has taken in. Brian took the dog age and kicked butt.

So, you had this stuck in my head, so I tried it again.. I am 24.5! Yeah. I was surprised since I had to put in a higher weight.

Sunday

Moody, cloudy Sunday morning in bed with coffee and a new book.  Wrapped up reading a book that could have been so much better, had the characters had a little more...character.  It was a skimmer, for sure.  As I've gotten older, I have given up the notion that all books were meant to be read start to finish.  I've waded in as much as a couple hundred pages before letting go and putting one down.  There are too many books and too little time to waste on a book that doesn't keep my attention. If the rain holds off, I'm looking forward to hooking up this cleaner spray to my hose and spraying my windows and siding.  I know, I know...life is so exciting, right?!  Have I described where I live, the pipestem?  That is the Virginia vernacular term for a little offshoot lane that branches from the main road, upon which are a few homes--in our neighborhood, probably 4-6 houses on each pipestem.  We have four.  Next to us is Car Hoarder Neighbo...

Cherry Blossom, Part II

-

Tired of cherry blossoms yet?  Oh good, because here are a few more:     These are from just a few hours ago...the cherry blossom or sakura, is truly ephemeral.  The blossoms appear almost overnight and won't last more than a few days, depending on weather.  It's important to get out and appreciate them while you can.  The Japanese actually have a term, hanami, for the "sport" of viewing sakura and there are many, many places in Japan where people flock to see sakura in breathtaking settings.   I'll settle for CFAY, since I'm still single parenting and the Japanese school children are on spring holiday, so the crush would be intense anywhere we would go.  If you saw my last post, you know I had to bribe the kids with ice cream for a two hour trip down to Miurakaigan to view the blossoms a couple of weekends ago.   It's been a busy couple of weeks.  I had a new class start up, just the other half o...

This is 45

-
I think I need to get into it a little more to really FEEL it, but this is 45.  Middle of the road?  Maybe.  Both of my grandmothers made it past 90, so we shall see. All of the most important people in my life wished me a happy birthday today, including the adorable people who made me and brought me into this world.  It is my habit now to thank THEM for my birthday, because let's be honest, if that man didn't love that woman, I wouldn't be here,  right now.  Thanks, guys...totally, 100% serious. The Captain was out of town for my birthday weekend, he got back at supper tonight, unerringly arriving just in time to sit down and eat.  It's really OK.  I started out my weekend on Friday at my favorite shopping joint, then returned home, changed into sweatpants and settled in for some trash TV watching (in this case, the completely stupid "90 Day Fiancee" (don't get into it, it's like watching a car wreck that you could see coming miles away))....
