Tuesday Musings #26

Last week's topic was birthdays. I had a birthday this past week. I turned forty. I thought it was kind of funny because a few people called to wish me a SAD birthday. Not literally. They actually said"Happy Birthday", but then, in a commiserating tone of voice, asked me how I was doing and...if I was okay.


I don't mind turning forty. I think it is kind of cool - the turn of a decade and everything. It does provide for some reflection.

One of the the people I have been reflecting on is Jennifer Aniston.



She turned forty the same week that I did.









I am infinitely more happy to be myself than I would be to be her and I am fairly certain that she wouldn't want to trade places with me, but what about everyone else?

I wonder if you gave women around the planet a chance to choose between her life and mine which they would pick?


Just in case anyone is waffling, here is a run down* of the two choices.

*Disclaimer - most of these (on the JA side) are just wild guesses. The last thing I have time to do is troll the internet gossip world to find alleged facts.


me - seven kids
JA - seven bagillion dollars

me - a four bedroom house
JA - four houses

me - a pile of laundry
JA - a team of stylists

me - a secondhand rodent
JA - purebred dogs

me - a housekeeping list
JA - a housekeeper

me - a gorgeous husband
JA - ?

I didn't know it was your birthday, Happy birthday! I'd rather have 7 kids than 7 gazillion dollars.... the latter would be nice, too, though lol.
