During my hiatus, I read Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight. Apparently it is a requirement of being a thirty-something housewife (it’s on the list right between “make ironic references to eighties pop” and “own yoga pants”).
And I thought:
Hey, that’s three strikes for me—I haven’t read Twilight, I don’t own yoga pants, and when I make references to eighties pop I am nearly always completely sincere. (Oh Adam Ant, how I miss you.) (Sincerely.) Huh, guess I’m not a typical thirty-something housewife. OH WAIT I’M NOT A THIRTY-SOMETHING HOUSEWIFE AT ALL NOW THAT I AM FORTY.
Sometimes I forget.

Does that make 4 strikes? I am with you except for the 80’s music. If I never see spandex and hairspray on a musician again it will be too soon!LOL!

Guess that is why Twilight doesn’t appeal to me either.

Hee hee.
I’ve mostly managed to avoid Twilight-mania, mainly because I’m just REALLY TIRED of vampires. New monster, please!

Are the yoga pants actually for doing yoga? Or is everyone else, like me, trying to pass them off as dressier-than-jeans pants?

“make ironic references to eighties pop”…
Maybe it should be “make references to iconic eighties pop.”
