thirty...what's up????

thirty, i've wanted you...
thirty, i've lied and pretended to be you...
thirty, i have two children and a mini-van...
thirty, how i've longed to claim you...
thirty, how i've envied those who counted your years...

why-oh-why, oh-thirty have you treated me so?

thousands of people are ashamed to be you...
thousands of people never claim you...
thousands of people spend their pay checks to fight your doings...
thousands of people curse the day they meet you...
thousands of people refuse the children, shrug off the mini-van...

not i, oh thirty, not i !

why when i have embraced you oh thirty have you shunned me?
why have you seen me sick and in bed, unable to fully enjoy your wisdom, your light?
why have you made me fall every day since i have claimed your years?
why have dozens of cups of coffee not made it to my lips?
why are my children remaining in their "terrible" somethings?

why-oh-why, oh thirty have you treated me so?

thirty was supose to be my time to shine!
thirty was supose to bring me womenly grace!
thrity was supose to make me...well rhymes with forney!
thirty was supose to clear up my skin at least!
thirty was supose to give me the chance to do all things i never thought i could do!


why-oh-why, oh thirty have you treated me so?

instead i fall...
instead i spill coffee...
instead i get sick like a 90 year old...
instead i break my toe (and those of you who have seen my big toes, know that is no easy feit)
instead i now say, "BRING ON FOURTY...F&#K!"

escape

i must apologize for my recent lack of blog material. things have been going well, and by that i mean slow and slightly mundane...even with 2 toddlers. there has been one bright spot in my life and i am no longer embarrassed to admit it.

I'M A TWILIGHT SERIES JUNKY

i've always prided myself in being unique, against the grain...not someone who follows current trends in television or pop-culture. i have given all that up for these poorly written, teen romance-vampire/werewolf books.

that's right...my name is Andrea Lemon and i'm addicted to Edward, Bella and Jacob. (the main characters in my new fav. books)

i unfortunately have read all of the books now and going through withdraw but for that short period of time i was able to escape into an unfamiliar world. a teenage world where your biggest problems are fitting into high school and well, in bella's case not getting the life sucked out of her. but those of you who are mothers, wives, co-workers...ext. get my drift. i could set aside my house hold duties and enter a world where no one needed me and i was able to fall in love with a perfect "gentleman" (ie. vampire and/or werewolf), be treated like a princess and consume myself with someone else's problems...or at least daily dilemmas, do i become a vampire or not, do i skip this next class, when will i be able to sneak out of the house again...

everyday life for many of us is mundane, old, tiring, stressful, painful...a good escape is needed every now and then and i am thankful to stephanie meyer for creating such an easy escape.

i am looking for another escape as we speak and am taking suggestions...
