That’s obviously what this is… what this crazy life is that I seem to be leading right now looks like.
It HAS to be a mid-life crisis.
There’s really no explanation for the fact that I’m doing crazy things that I SWORE I would never do.
Like planning to run a half marathon in February. Obviously I’ve lost my mind.
Like thinking I’m going to be writing a book over the course of the month of November.

How about going back to work?
Or winning/buying a pair of (really uppity) cowboy boots that I’m going to go to my grave pretending that Ree chose me (and Lindsay and Stephanie) because we were the most awesome people on Earth…
See also, again: Lost my mind.
But aren’t they FABULOUS? (get ready because I’m giving some boots away soooooon.)
I’m assuming, and this is PURE ASSUMPTION, that along with a mid-life crisis comes brain farts, the inability to string words into sentences, night sweats, moodiness, and the desire to eat chocolate and buy a new car.
So is this what it looks like, this thing called a mid-life crisis?
Because if so, I’m totally gonna use that excuse to eat chocolate and buy a new car.
Anybody else feeling like this at 36? I know I’m not alone.
*****UPDATE: I quit. I quit NaNoWriMo. I realized it sounded like a wonderful idea but I just don’t have time for it. I’d like to make it to 37 without any more gray hairs than I have already so I’m letting it go. I’m going to try to write something, anything, every day to keep my brain sharp, though!
If you’re having one then so am I.
I’m feeling it at bit at 29, except I don’t have the awesome boots.
(Can we call it a quarter-life crisis?)

I had a quarter life crisis somewhere around 35. Sounds a lot like what you’re going through. No, I’m having a true midlife crisis now, at 45, and I have to tell you. Just wait. It’s way worse.
Enjoy it, new things are good. I don’t know why we as women need an excuse to step out of the box and really really live life! Go for it girl!

36? I didn’t have my full-blown mid-lifer until 42. It lasted about three years. I love those boots– what size?

I’ve been feeling like this since I was 36 … which has been 12 years for anyone counting. Just wait, the next decade will bring all that you are feeling now and bump it up a notch with a sense of utter URGENCY!
Enjoy the ride!

Had mine already…still eating chocolate and thinking….I say thinking of buying a new car. The economy kind of dictates the latter. Cheers! Here’s to the mid-life crisis that many times lasts way, way, way, way past mid-life!
