Hey everyone,I know with the economy nearing complete "catastrophe" levels you will be happy to know that Barbie turning "50" is making national headlines. Well, it's not just that she's fifty, she's gotten a complete makeover, soemthing every woman needs at 50. To reflect today's woman, Barbie has been reinvented. Sorry, I just don't see it. What is different again? And which part looks like me?
Speaking of annoying women in bathing suits, what's up with that bikini contestant on Idol? How sexist to keep her on - she is not that talented with her clothes on.
Okay, this has to be a short entry because I worked today and I have a column due tomorrow that I haven't started (hope my editor isn't reading this!). No problem, I have one daughter at gymnastics, one daughter with a friend over, dinner to cook, backpacks to unpack, lunches to make and then both girls have play practice until 8:30.
After that, there's homework and showers. Somewhere in between all of that I have to find time to watch Idol (must keep up on pop culture) so I'm thinking...I'm screwed. Stretched a little too thin? I'm sure you can all relate. We're all in the same boat, or minivan. C'est la vie.
I think they should have made the 50 year old barbie out of silly putty.
ReplyDeleteMaybe with hair growing out of random places. she could come with multi vitamins, and a fan. rename her menopausal barb.
Just a thought
at least give her droopy boobs!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure that I will resemble the "Barbie at 50"

Dear Anonymous Sister-in-Law,
ReplyDeleteYes, you resemble Barbie now and you're darn close to 50 aren't you?
Ha! Just kidding my eternally young and beautiful friend. You look better than her!
