I saw this lady in Cheesecake Factory…
She was about my age. But there was something different about her in comparison to me. I bet we had tons of stuff in common. She looked like she was probably professional; she was definitely young. But she looked a grown azz woman. GAW for short. Does anyone know what I mean? I mean she looks like a 31 year old Woman, with a capital ‘w.’ I feel like a teenager in dress up clothes a lot of times. I have a youthful face and a boisterous personality. I laugh loud and heartily. I make crass comments and have fun. You might see me out and think….'she’s a fun-loving college student.' But, I’m supposed to a GAW as well. Like for example. Mary J. is only THREE years older than me. She’s definitely a GAW. Angelina Jolie is ONE year younger. She’s a GAW for certain. (lucky girl with her new fine husband-boyfriend-baby-daddy Brad Pitt….take that Anniston….I’ll explain my hate for the former Ms. Brad Pitt another day.) Do you get my point? Somedays you feel like a fraud. I mean a complete fake. I don’t know. Maybe it’s just me. I don't feel 31. But apparently 30 is the new 20, 'cause 50 is the new forty. I guess. So I'm really 21?

I moved to New York City a decade ago after spending most of my life in and around Louisville. Up here, we say that 50 is the new 30. That would make you about 11, right? Enjoy it! Life is short and every comes at you so fast once you finally "grow up." You have lots of time to become a GAW.
Don't worry about not feeling like... oops, I mean not appearing as a GAW. Life is what you make it and if you make if fun then you live longer! I believe statistics say laughing adds more days to your life. I may not be familiar with what it is like to be a GAW but I can relate to sometimes not "acting" like a GAM. That is dependent on who you ask, but when it comes to taking care of business (like you I am sure), then I run into the phone booth and morph into, yea you guessed, G-A-M!
