In Your Deepest Heart, How Old Are You?

Hello! You may have noticed that 1) I'm running some reruns on this blog until the BOM and 2) my internet access is sporadic. This is because I'm 1) in Europe 2) at sea and 3) have been as sick as the proverbial dog. Take one migraine, add one sleepless transatlantic flight, and toss in a stormy crossing of the Bay of Biscay (sp?), and you have one day spent totally inside the cabin. :-) But now, I am thrilled to report, I am well, head is clear, sea is calm, and Espana es muy bonita! Hubby and I spent the day touring Bilboa, and I've even put my fledgling Spanish to good use--even in an area where the major language is Basque. And the food--let's not even talk about it. Honestly, I wish I were travelling with my dogs, because there would be enough to feed me and both of them!

In any case, on to the rerun of the day. I am going to try to keep up, but can only get online when we are close to a port. Tomorrow? France!

I clearly remember one afternoon when I was about ten . . . I was in the car with my mother, getting ready to go to a Girl Scout meeting, and I was reading a biography of Catherine the Great. The book said this: "At thirty, Catherine was in the prime of her life."

Stunned and surprised, I looked up and read the sentence to my mother.

"So?" she asked. "I'm thirty. Don't you think I'm in the prime of my life?"

I didn't have the heart to tell her, but nooooo, I thought thirty was OLD. One-foot-in-the-grave-old.

Now, of course, I've changed my mind. "Old" is always at least thirty years older than I am. (VBG)

Anyway, I found this little meme, and it says I'm 31 at heart. I like that because it puts me in the prime of my life.

Because I'm on vacation, here goes--how old are you REALLY?

You Are 31 Years Old

Under 12: You are a kid at heart. You still have an optimistic life view - and you look at the world with awe. 13-19: You are a teenager at heart. You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world. 20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel excited about what's to come... love, work, and new experiences. 30-39: You are a thirtysomething at heart. You've had a taste of success and true love, but you want more! 40+: You are a mature adult. You've been through most of the ups and downs of life already. Now you get to sit back and relax.

What Age Do You Act?
