Perimenopausal mix tape

Comments (21) by Kim Bongiorno September 27, 2012 - 6:02 AM

Every life has a soundtrack.

The background music playing as your world opened up while reading Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret.

The sweet song your first boyfriend kissed you to.

The curse-laden tunes blasting down the college dorm halls as you primped for another night of bar hopping with the girls.

The sexy lyrics whispered into your ear by the guy you knew you’d end up marrying.

As we begin our approach to the halfway point of Life, our Lady Parts are going through their own big change that needs some musical accompaniment.

What better than a mix tape of the songs of our youth to play as we march into Middle Age?

    Is increased PMS really a symptom? Damn, I've been slowly going through perimenopause for at least 20 years.

    Not only feeling the burn of all these perimenopausal symptoms, but now I'm depressed that I'm so old I only know half the songs posted.

    @Janie Emaus: I'll prepare with many layers and a travel fan. I'll just trade in my cute handbag for a rolling suitcase.
