Running on the Hamster Wheel

February7

Okay, been pretty busy, but you know how it is.

I had a realy scary minute last week. I actually walked into a fitness club, complete with fancy-schmanzy fitness equipment with digital interfaces that measured everything from calories burned to perspiration output and probably could tell you how long it had been since you shaved your armpits and legs. I wouldn’t be surprised if by the time you got off some of those contraptions they could tell you the last time you had your period or how long it had been since your last orgasm.

I don’t want a machine knowing that much about me. It seems unnatural. Maybe the hamsters have the right idea. Hop on a spoked wheel, and let the poop fall where it may. Needless to say, I declined the invitation to participate in an intimate relationship with a machine with more lights and baubles than a street of New York City. Just sayin’. Heh.

    OMG!!! You what??!! Now listen up darlin’ because I feel ill if I so much as drive past one.I would have to be positively loopy to actully enter such a place.As for the fancy machines..well I know when I’m perspiring as my bra sticks,t-shirt “catches” where it shouldn’t.As for calories burned,I know the answer to that is how much my butt/leg/back muscles hurt.

    I know, Sparrow! I must have been temporarily insane, but at least I got out before any real damage was done. Like, you know, a toned muscle or something. I had to have a double cheeseburger for lunch to calm down. Heh.

Welcome to Over Forty and Loving It! We’re just getting started, but we’re bringing women over forty the information they need and want. With our hormones deserting us, our kids leaving the house, we believe women should look forward to this stage of their lives. It’s not always pretty, not always easy, but we feel if you just keep an open mind, along with a wicked sense of humor, it can be fun.

You might be wondering, who are we? We’re two old friends who have nearly a hundred years of experience between us. We’ve both worked as nurses, as writers, love music and enjoy traveling whenever possible.  We know the joys and devastation of relationships. So here we are! Enjoy!
