<p>I am not really such a whinger</p>
<p>Turning 50 seems to be skewing my perspective more than 30 ever did however.
( and no comments from those who were 40 when they started having kids) ;)</p>
<p>There is really lots I love about life in 2007</p>
<p>Itunes-
so cool- I have always loved music and that my favorite bands post live stuff that I can download onto my ipod and play when ever I want is thrilling :D</p>
<p>Being old enough to have ice cream for breakfast if I want
( although then I remembered that I am not eating dairy) 
ooh tummy ache</p>
<p>Having a child still at home who needs rides occasionally and having her tell me about what she is doing ( last night I took her to a Swedish language class- although I think she and her friend are having trouble keeping a straight face- they are by far the youngest in the class it sounds like)</p>
<p>it stopped raining & I am going out to dig ( although I should be finishing my homework)</p>
<p>A new coffee shop opened up a couple blocks away with wireless ( I have dialup) * and it is independent- not Starbucks*</p>
<p>Turning 50 doesn’t mean I have to wear * housedresses* and baggy sweaters-
I also cut my hair- I got tired of either putting it in a pony tail or having to dink with it- I know my husband likes it longer- but I don’t want to spend the time playing with it.</p>
<p>Reading
what a wonderful invention!</p>
<p>I just chose for my bookgroup choice * Mountains beyond Mountains* but now I can’t wait to read it</p>
<p>Ill come back with more</p>
