In honor of this post, I'm getting down my shiny red Barbie case, letting Barbie choose one of her sportiest outfits (from 1963), and giving her a ride on my bike. Love Menopause Barbie.

I hear ya. Seems I spend a lot of time bracing for what's next these days. But, like you said, that's what bikes and wine are for! Thanks for stopping by and sharing your thoughts with me. You always give me a good chuckle! Thanks Gregory Anne! hmmm… embracing or bracing… I hear ya.

I have to share that even though I'm "embracing" my 50's, I'm pissed off at plenty of the things you mention. I think embracing is one of those words we are "supposed" to be using vs. words that actually express my thoughts some days: maintaining, surviving, and simply, bracing for whats' next. As you say tho the alternative is not on my list of adventures just yet and for as many physical challenges as occur there are gifts in the categories of freedom, wisdom, and excess. While the first two words are probably obvious, excess might seem a bit odd. These days I make sure I include some excess, in moderation. I choose more wisely and make my splurging really count--and not do too much damage. Here's to Barbie, and us, fabulous forever--symptoms be damned--that's what bikes and wine are for.

I, too, am embracing my life as I grow older... I just wish I could embrace it during the daylight hours and not so often at 3:00 in the morning. Thanks again all you understanding ladies!

LOL I have embraced my 50's and am enjoying life, but it does get a bit on your last nerve when you're exhausted & you get into bed and you're wide awake as your brain is saying, "hello" and your body is saying, "I'm tired, go to sleep" and it goes on for an hour or two. Ah, the beauty of menopause. I just loved “Menopause Barbie,” who would have ever guessed that Barbie too, would go thru menopause.

It's so nice to know that we share that whole Barbie-thing and can laugh about it... a little bit. I'm seriously hoping Mattel comes out with a 50 year old version of Barbie. I'd love to get a look at that plastic jelly-belly roll, saggy neck, and thinning "oops I shouldn't have tried that shade of color" hair. Thanks Ladies for your wonderful comments!
