Welcome to my age box...The Introduction

Welcome to my new blog. You can call me...oh..just call me Auntie Dot, of course that is not my real name. Nobody puts their real name on the blog. Only idiots do I suppose. Just think of me as the new aunt on the blog. I know it sounds less appealing than the New Kids On The Block, but I think boy bands are so yesterday. The stories in here however, are going to be, I promise you, as authentic as it can get.

Of course I am 40 plus. ( Hellooo....notice the blog title?) . I got it from somewhere that, 40 is the begining of an end, which I beg to differ really. I also got this from somewhere,"40 is when I finally begin to get my head together, only to have my body starting to fall apart." . This one I cannot contradict. It's true what they say, that you can't win them all. C'est la Vie !!

Of course I am a woman. Why would I open up a blog about being in the 40s unless I am one. Men don't talk like we women do. They are so busy trying to live up to their macho expectations. Otherwise they are busy trying to conquer something or fight evil or create issues that cause us women talking in the first place, or whatever it is men do to show how different they are from women. Of course I am not talking about Metrosexual men. Now, someone should open a blog on Metrosexuals.

Unlike men, when women have a crisis, we talk, and talk and talk about it until we decide we are tired of talking. How do you think Oprah is ranked Number 1 in Forbe's "Who made the most money" list, three years in a row. The fact that she is a Billionaire, simply goes to show how much women like to talk. We do it not so much of trying to find solution to a problem, but more so of having to get the problem off our chests. That's when men do not decipher us. They offer solution and get upset if women reject them, when all they could have done to spare the squabble is to just shut up and listen. Not hear us, but listen. Not too hard isn't it?

I will stop at this introduction. There are many interesting things that I would like to share with you from my own experience upon turning 40. I will now go sit in my garden, and get inspired, or get sick of the zen-ness, or whichever that comes first, and come back in here with brilliant things to narrate. I will try to bring you into this journey called life, as a 40year plus sees it (with or without the glasses. Now that's another addition to a 40year old. You can disguise the gray hair with a bit of coloring, but the reading glasses is a dead give away!!!).

This blog may come in handy for men who need to understand women,(or even those who have given up understanding women and prefer to stay obtuse) and women trying to understand themselves. . (See, that is why men find women hard to understand.. Even the women find it almost impossible to comprehend ourselves!!!) . And about men and women trying to decipher life itself. You may learn something from my past experiences. Until then, ladies and gentlemen.......welcome to my age box....
