Still Got It?

If you're reading this post, it means I have succeeded in "scheduling" it to go up. I have set the date and time for it to "go live" and it worked! I am as tech savvy as a friggin' sardine... so this is a big step for me.

The reason I have to schedule this one is because I am (for once) writing it before I want to post it. It's Sunday night now. I usually post on Mondays, but my tomorrow is about to be CRAY CRAY. I will have zero time. Listen to this shit... (Disclaimer: this is NOT a complaint, I'm super pumped about it.)

Wake up at the crack-o-dawn...
... work my corporate job from 8:00AM-12PM...
... attend a Style Night Out lunch meeting 12:00-1:00PM...
... go back to my corporate job 1:00-5:00-PM... 
... teach a private Pilates session from 5:30-6:30PM...
... drive 30 minutes...
... teach my beloved group Pilates class from 7:30-8:30PM, and THEN...
... go teach another  private session from 9PM-10PM.

WHAAAATT??!?!?! YIGGY YES YA'LL!!! I'm going to be tired, but it will be AHHHHHSOME.

In other news, I got the ultimate back handed compliment this weekend.

I already told a few of my girlfriends this on Friday night a few hours after it happened (well, I actually got up and reenacted it more than "told" them) but I am still thinking about it, so I thought I'd share...

I had a private Pilates client on Friday after work. I was leaving her Uptown condo walking back to my car and a group of four 18-19(ish) year old guys were walking towards me. I was in my gym clothes, mat in hand, minding my own business. As I passed them all, one looks me up and down and says... wait for it... brace yourself...

"Daaamn Girl, you stiiiiiill got it".

Um. What? Hold the phone. "STILL got it."?????

How the FUUK old do I look? Is this where I am in my life now? At the point where boys who are old enough to buy cigarettes... old enough to enlist in the Army... old enough to VOTE look at me and think... "Meh, not bad for an older lady? Do you have a daughter I could date? MILF?

As soon as what he said registered in my brain I was all like? Did that just effing happen? I'm 34. I am not 70. Still got it???????? STILL?? Do you expect "women my age" to no longer have "it". Is there an expiration date I was not aware of? I may have been born before cell phones were a thing, but I did not communicate via smoke signal. I did not turn my homework in on stone tablets, or get educated in a one room school house. I grew up with indoor plumbing and electricity. Women were "allowed" to wear pants, and have a bank accounts in their name. For fuks sake. How old did this kid think I was??? STILL have it? What the hell is that donkey crap? It can't be??? No. It canNOT be. This is the year I get my shit together. I get healthy, fit. For Gawd's sake. THIS is the summer I wear a crop top (that WILL happen. TRUST).

And then I got to thinking. Shiiiiiiit. He's right. My mom was YOUNG when she had me. How young, you ask? Welp... when my mom was my age, I was a freshman.

In college. A freshman in college.

YUP. True story.

So... I guess, if that kid found me the least bit attractive, maybe it was weird for him. Maybe I am... gag... choke... vomit... his MOM'S age.

Ah well. Time to face the facts. I am in my mid-30's and I look my age. I haven't had any "work" done. I smile. A lot. Doing that gives me lines. Around my eyes, mouth, forehead. I guess I should be thanking God that I have so much to smile about and get over the fact that some teenager considers me old enough to have had  Father Time steal whatever "IT" is from me.

I'll embrace my age, consider his shit-headed remark a compliment and keep it movin'. I draw the line at Mom jeans and tankinis though. I will not. Can NOT. (yet)
