This is a picture of my parents. Yes, they do in fact exist. (Katie still has doubts even after meeting them on 2 separate occasions). My mom is celebrating her 56th birthday today. She is a Leo and proud of it. Trust me. She's a Leo. And with you ladies I am glad that I am no longer dating a Leo, although dating a Libra (no offense Jen) is sometimes frustrating when you just want the other person to make a damn decision. Anyway, don't know where that little astrological rant came from, but moving on... I've decided that women today need to shut the hell up. If I read one more thing about wrinkles, botox, lipo, or plastic tits I'm going to scream. My mom looks great. She takes care of herself, even if she has to because she's constantly injuring herself, and she enjoys life. She doesn't smoke, do drugs, gamble, or drink heavily (shit two beers and she's done). She still likes to sail with my dad and enjoys quilting and painting the interior of our house like 7 different colors between my visits, but who cares right? I'm just tired of women reaching a certain age and deciding that they look like garbage. Women are strong. Especially, American women, but we can't seem to stop focusing on the exterior. My newest challenge for us wonderful kick ass bitches of 121 is to realize how great we are and then turn that positive energy outward. I think we should start doing what we can for the rest of the world's women. The ones who could a shit about plastic surgery, and are more concerned about feeding their families. So I'm recommending a cause or a charity for us to focus on. Nothing crazy...I realize that none of us are pulling in six figures but something small can go a long way. So ladies I'm open to suggestions, let me know what you think and let's do it for our moms. Shit, Jen you're mom so tough she's going to kick cancer's ass like no body's busy, and Katie your mom (although a little wacky) is going to eventually tell her family the truth (I'll leave it at that for now...). These ladies are powerful and so are we damn it.
Ok, that is my feminist rant for the day. No more reading about plastic surgery gone wrong, and then seeing a show about female genital mutilations for me. But seriously girls I have a few ideas but I need to research them. Just tell me what you think. It could be like a monthly thing or something as small as the Mother Bear Foundation (we all have excessive amounts of extra yarn hanging around...).
Love you girls!
Amanda
