I'm old and that's okay...(heck just look at my profile photo)

I really needed some mindless down time. So my wonderful (and extremely handsome) husband went to the video store yesterday and rented Ghostbusters. A classic. Of course I've seen the film about 30 times since seeing it in the theatre when it was released in 1984 (the year Chrissy was born!!!) but it is timeless and still quite funny (I think). Brad and I laughed quite a bit throughout the film. Chrissy did not laugh once (that I heard) and she commented after that the film "kind of" scared her. It is billed as a comedy. That's when I realized I'm old. Of course I already know I'm old but it's times like these that remind me just how old I am. I was in high school when I saw this film in '84. The jokes (I think) still work and it's silly which is always fun but for some reason Chrissy thought it was lame. So, even though I enjoyed seeing the film again and I did get some laughs out of it, in the end it just made me feel old and "unhip". But you know what else I realized...I like being old and unhip. I love where I am, who I'm with, the children God's blessed me with, the same man I've been with for 8 years, and the entertainment I enjoy whether it's lame to others or not. Sounds scary but I really do love who and where I am. Thank you Lord for making me old! :-) M.

Oh don't worry Chrissy, YOU didn't - on both counts. :-)
