OMG- who the heck is that?!!!

Boomer reaction after passing by the full length mirror coming out of the shower.  Space aliens have landed and taken over my body!! 

As a boomer, having memories is great.  We get to reminisce about the good old days. Unfortunately, I can remember (only yesterday wasn’t it?) when I was slim, trim, toned and everything in its place.  I used to fight with a pimple, a little cellulite on the thigh or the thought of my boobs being too small.  Now, the thoughts are more about, where did that age spot come from overnight (age spots take the place of pimples), the extra roll on the midriff (used to have a stomach so flat and tight you could bounce a quarter off it)  don’t try that now or you will lose the quarter.  I stopped worrying about the thighs and watch in horror as my stomach (that I never had before continues to inch forward).  The boobs thing, I just try to collect them and corral them into my wonder bra.

I know, not every boomer will appreciate the honest humor, but fighting getting older really just makes me feel old.  Heck, I give up, why fight with the inevitable?  I just want to enjoy it, laugh at it, and continue to do the things that bring a smile to my face.  That is the best face lift a body can have and it’s free. 

For those who follow me as I started posting from blogger, I have transitioned to my own domain.  http://boomersberg.com and it has some pretty cool perks.  Apture is on my site. This feature allows you to highlight any subject or word and will give you (without leaving the page) info found on the internet of the subject or word.  Real cool, I think, give it a try. Also, I have a forum there for those who want to start a conversation on any subject which would be boomer related or a boomer rant. Steaming mad I have started some links to some cool boomer places on the net and hope to actually have a page that will be like a boomer directory to places on the net especially pertaining to boomer subjects of interest.

Just another day floating on my iceberg.  See you in cyber space friend.

Snarky Boomer’s First Days In a New Direction

Image
The new career as a caregiver. I hope that these blog posts will encourage any boomer who is struggling to find a road map.  If you read some of my first blog posts, you will see that I was pretty down.  I have decided with some found energy to reinvent my final act for a living.  After assessment of all the particulars, I settled on caregiving. Was hired by a local facility and started training.  The day of training I was asked to sit for a client the following Monday, it was to be a 12 hour shift.  I accepted the duty and enjoyed it very much. I now have my Red Cross CPR/First Aide/AED certificate. I have sitting on my desk 4 CD’s I ordered “Savvy Care Giver”.  The information pertains to caring for clients with dementia or Alzheimer’s.  The facility of my employment offers further training. Now, granted, I am not making a ton of money, but I have an objective here and anytime you start on anything new, you start at the bottom.  I have my new fitness membership as of January

The Finer Things In Life Are The Simple Things In Life

The Finer Things In Life Are The Simple Things In Life 1. Sharing fun times with friends and loved ones. 2. Being in the forest with no sound other than the birds. 3. A cool breeze on a hot day. 4. Music that speaks to your soul. 5. A warm blanket, thick socks and a cup of cocoa on a cold night. 6. A friend calling to just check in and ask how you are doing. 7. A Hug from a little child or dear friend. 8.  Puppy kisses, wiggles, and waggs. 9. Looking out over the ocean waters with wonderment. 10. Looking to the heavens with wonderment. 11. Getting caught in a spring rain. 12. Getting out of bed because you can.

BANG! Start Off 2012

Image
New year, new beginning. Off with the old and on with the new. In previous post, I told of how after much deliberation I had decided to go in a career change direction, becoming a professional caregiver. So, I applied and have been accepted with a very nice local assisted living facility as sitter/caregiver. I start my new career with training. The 13th will be in house training. On the 18th I will have a full day of CPR, First Aid and AED training. Then the 25th will be another day of training. I have signed up for some on line classes in caregiver to persons with dementia/ Alzheimer. So I am off to the races. Now, I know most all of us commit to get on diets for the new year, but this time I am going a step further and I signed up for a 21 day 21 pound detox program. During this course or shortly after I will sign up for a gym membership. I need to strength train and I know I will not do that at home on my own. Plus, I like the big machines for streng
