Jealous or just old?
Again, I live in a tiny village and so I know about all the coming's and goings on here. Mostly not because I live in a small village, but because of Facebook, and everyone's need to post hourly what they're up to. "4.87 miles on the treadmill this morning". Really? Who cares! Anyway, about 10 women have decided to go to Vegas for the weekend... wearing wedding dresses. Now these 10 women range in age from mid 20's to mid 40's. Really, are you not too old to be still seeking THAT much attention? Why else would you put on something so uncomfortable and messy (we've got about 3-4 more inches of snow, and as we all know, wedding dresses tend to 'drag' on the ground), if you are not completely and totally into getting attention from any possible onlooker. It might be fun and funny for about 10 minutes, but after that it's got to be just - well just a bit sad. Am I getting old - can I not see the fun in this? My answer - Vegas is fun enough without having to wear a wedding dress around and again, I think the only point is for other people to ask questions, point and stare and, oh yeah, don't forget take 1000 or so pictures. What happened to just enjoying ourselves? Am I jealous that I wasn't invited? I had to stop and think about that for a minute, because my first reaction is that there is no way I'd be interested in going to Vegas with 10 other women, and second - those particular 10 women, but then part of me thought, 'really, Vegas away from the kids for the weekend'. Still I can't come up with a yes, even a tiny little whisper of a yes. With my husband - I'd go in a minute. With a friend OR two, yup, but no way, Jose with 10 attention seeking peri-menopausal and barely out of diapers girls. No thank you. If that's me getting old, I have one word - WOOOOHOOOOO!!!
