FUN

FUN

What sounds like fun?

When I was unencumbered by marriage and family, fun was

  • Dancing until totally sweaty, never getting exhausted
  • Making out
  • Driving around looking for fun
  • And you know what the above fun refers to
  • Eating carbs with no concern at all for ramifications
  • Doing scary things, but not quite THAT scary, above ^
  • Putting on elaborate eye makeup
  • Staying up late, laughing with friends
  • Sleeping in
  • Knowing the words to all of the Bob Dylan songs
  • Hiking
  • That’s a lie; I have never thought hiking was fun
  • Being in college
  • Dating lots of men (in my case, “lots” is less than a dozen)
  • Not needing Spanx
  • Talking on the phone for hours
  • Macaroni and cheese in a box

Now that I am way into my golden years, fun is a whole other thing:

  • Wearing sweatpants
  • Eating toast
  • Texting instead of long winded phone conversations
  • Door Dash
  • Napping
  • Laughing with friends, but they go home at nine
  • Staying at home and not wearing makeup
  • A new pair of Birkenstocks
  • A new knee brace
  • Binge-ing tv shows all by myself
  • Napping
  • Pedicures
  • Comparing surgeries with friends
  • No longer having to buy tampons
  • Napping
  • Being alive
  • Having grandchildren
  • Popcorn for lunch
  • Napping
