Mid-Life Crisis???

Oh my gosh. Is this what a mid-life crisis feels like? It doesn't feel like I am having overwhelming urges to change things. Some of these are things that I've wanted to do for a while, others are no biggie, and one is just one that fell into my lap. Combine them all into a short time frame, and it certainly SMELLS like a mid-life crisis.

So, what have I done?

1. Got a tattoo. Nothing huge, just something with a lot of meaning for me and in a place for ME (and my hubby) to see. Not something to share. It's there to remind me of the journey I've been on for the past year. A tangible reminder of where I've been and where I am going.

2. Cut my hair off. See previous post. This was a "no biggie" -- I'm always growing/cutting my hair. I will say that this one has to be one of my fav haircuts of all times.

3. Got a motorcycle and my motorcycle license. The motorcycle previously belonged to my GF Shannon (who is also one of the 4GirlsRunning crew), and has just moved out of the city to the boonies and my house. It's PURPLE (and silver). I had NO CLUE how to ride a motorcycle, so I took both the Jump Start and the Basic Rider Course with MSCV (these people are AWESOME -- I highly recommend both classes) and dang if I somehow got an insanely high score during the riding test. Apparently holding your breath is the trick to the figure-8-inside-the-stupid-box test, as I never did it successfully (or even NEAR successfully) during practice, but somehow did it during the test. If I had only gone a smidge faster during the final turn, I would have been perfect. BUT - good enough for my license! YAY ME!

So, is this a mid-life crisis? To me, it's not. I don't have this compelling urge to go out and change things. I've been changing things bit by bit over time, and all these paths just converged on the single point of March, 2008.

Oh, and I ordered this awesome pink motorcycle jacket to wear on my purple Hog. It's FABULOUS! Tee hee!!
