THE BLIRT 8/22

Today's BLIRT is dedicated to mid-life crisis' everywhere!

Obviously, Justin Timberlake is sporting a mid-life (but isn't he too young) if he's really going to put out a song with Brit Brit. Do not get me wrong...I will love the song(s) and will 100% buy the album, but I don't approve of this at all.

Also in mid-life...Ricky Martin is a daddy of twins born via surrogate. How else?

Angie Harmon is breeding yet again (she's 36 years old), so this will be kid #3. And I'm sure she'll still have a fantastic body after another.

So why my fascination today with mid-life issues? Well...a girlfriend of mine that I've known since high school mentioned today that she felt like I was a bit off this year and asked if I'm going through a mid-life crisis. The only thing I could do was acknowledge that, yes, I am! DUH!

I'm 37 and I think that now that we live so much longer than we used to (hopefully, anyway), that we deserve not one, but possibly two mid-life crises in a lifetime. So maybe they're coming a bit younger than normal, but more and more people I know are going through these in their late 30's. And if all the cool kids are doing it, it has to be okay!

That could just mean that we'll have two fantastic cars to drive at some point in our lives. I'm already pushing for a Carerra as my next vehicle, so what in the world will I go for when the next crisis hits? It's just something to look forward to...

In honor of Mid-Life Crisis Friday, our BLIRTy Music Correspondent picked out the perfect tune without even knowing how perfect it is for today.

She is obviously still a little bitter over the BLIRT going out whenever the spirit moves me (which is not always on a Friday), so this also goes back to basics and honors the Friday Song of the Day...how much do we love her for scoping out these tunes?

"Ok here’s your Friday – OR WHATEVER DAY… song!"

Speaking of something straight out of a mid-life crisis...I was traveling for business on Tuesday & Wednesday, and happened to open a closet door before turning in for the night. Whoever stocked this closet with the "apparel" below was OBVIOUSLY going through their second mid-life. Seriously? This was in a hotel room for...use? purchase? OMG, I don't really want to know! Can my employer not afford to put me up in a less-sketchy hotel?

PLEASE! SOMEONE PLEASE BUY AN AD FROM ME SO I DON'T HAVE TO PIMP MYSELF OUT!!!

On that note...have a fantastic weekend, and don't forget to wear a little animal print number this weekend!!!

I'm off...

THE BLIRT 8/13

So one of the assistants in the office came in today completely SHOCKED that Aniston and Mayer are said to have broken up. Really? This is a shock for a 22 year old? Oh, these kids have so much to learn.

On a brighter side, OK! magazine says they're getting married, and Star has a headline that they're having a baby! Good stuff...good stuff.

OK! mag also shows Brit Brit looking all normal, cleaned up and mommy-like. I'm not going to play into that again. Give it time...give it time...

Have you seen the pics of Clay Aiken holding his new baby? What do you think? Maybe it's just me, but I had the same queasy feeling as when I saw the pregnant "guy"!!

Speaking of queasy feelings...how GROSS is it that while I wait for new counter tops to be installed in my house, I have to do dishes in the sink. And not just any sink...it's the frickin' BATHROOM sink! I've been pretty disgusted with this, so I thought I'd share a photo. Also, check out how tiny this sink is - I splash all over the place and have to wipe the floor after every wash. Cannot wait for this to be over!

I will say that to prep for the new counter tops I had to fix a broken strip of wood that supports them. Yep...felt like a bad a$$ at Home Depot...bought a power drill and stud finder...I should have purchased a tool belt, given all the tools I used trying to get the darn piece of wood screwed on!My gay friends in Cleveland asked me this weekend why I think I'm straight and said I live the perfect lesbian lifestyle...I'm sporty, I like to do construction projects, I like camping, I don't like to shop or wear dresses (although I have been trying more this summer). Just call me Butch!

So my BLIRTy Music Correspondent seems a little annoyed with me about the BLIRT being sent so randomly! Check out her rage and the Friday Song of the Day on Wednesday!!

"Ok you’re screwing me up with the inconsistencies of your blog lately, but I’ll send this today and then you won’t hear from me for two weeks because I’ll be on vacation next week! So use then when the time is right!

So I was never a big fan of this dude, but I think he did right with this one. And it’s a good summer song!"

I think she's slipping a bit with all the anger...it is a great song, but I think it's already over-played on the radio.

Anyway, have a great rest of the week!

I'm off...
