I'm still going through my mid-life thing. It's intense and all consuming and, frankly, not entirely pleasant. I was looking up synonyms for "pause" the other day, trying to come up with another word for menopause, which I can't even believe is in my vocabulary, and one suggestion was "coffee break".
. . . Also? Intermission, falling out, rupture, suspension system, and jailbreak. There was also a link to a resource that said, "What rhymes with this word?" It turns out thaws, gnaws, draws, straws, and flaws are all mono-syllabic cousins to pause. So I'm all set to have a cappuccino or write a rap song.
You are nuts! You're losing it! What a wild sense of humor. Good, er ahem, luck with this pleasant little season of your life. (Remember, I'll be 50 in three weeks.....I can't believe it...)
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of a Midlife Intermission - where we step outside for an ice-cream or something. I understand I'm not eligible to talk about menopause, but there's been a pause in men for me since 2004 and I'm beginning to wonder just how long a pause lasts before it is reclassified as a stop.
ReplyDeleteWhat about a mid-life rebirth? I think you're being born again but not like a Christian.
ReplyDeleteOooo, I like what Sizzle says (um, hee hee).
ReplyDeleteLet me know if you ever need to compare war wounds. I think about you every day.
I vote for writing a rap song while drinking a cappuccino. (Double threat!)
ReplyDeleteI think this is one of those things we need to settle the old-fashioned way: with a battle rap. En guarde!
ReplyDelete(Shit. Nothing rhymes with "en guarde." I lose already.)
