Is 40 the new 30?

So my mother thinks I am going through a mid-life crisis.  I'll be turning 40 in October, and I am thinking of making some big changes in life.  I've just got the urge to do something different, get up off my duff and see what I am really made of.  I figure I better do it now while I am still young..hehe.  

On a separate note, I have been way more bitchy lately.  Something my mother also attributes to me being over-the-hill soon.  I say it has more to do with other people's stupidity and my waning patience for them.  For instance, everyone today has a cell phone.  I have a co-worker who is 45 and swears he doesn't know how to set a voicemail message.  Get real.  Cut the BS.  You can't be that dumb.  Or perhaps you are.  Although I'd venture to guess that you think we are the stupid ones.  Well I have a news flash for you.  The jig is up!  Get it together Mary; if you are that helpless I know a nursing home you can get into.  Don't forget to take your Depends, because I don't think anyone there will want to tell you how to wipe your butt.  

Ok, rant over.  I think I'll go look for a convertible or a hairpiece.  At my age, you have to be prepared...
