Life is good....is so cliche.

I am officially a cliche.

I am a 38 year old woman. I am overeducated and unemployed. I am overweight and understimulated.

I have 2 kids. I drive a minivan.

I do Pilates. I do yoga. I belong to the YMCA but never go. I just bought new running shoes. I am going to train for a 10K.

I just bought at least a dozen new age self help books. I also just bought a bunch of herbs and vitamins. I am going to the Omega Institute this month. My workshop is about seeking the meaning of life.

I clip coupons. I stash leftover grocery money in a savings account. I argue with the bank about fees. I bought Suze Orman's book. I went on the Suze Orman show. I was denied.

I dream of going to or on Oprah. I love Oprah. I love Oprah's book club.

I am in a book club. I love my book club. My book club loves wine. I used to love wine. White wine now causes a hangover with vomiting. I also love vodka. I love vodka with diet tonic.

Life is good.

Ya know, I fought the cliches for a long time, but it didn't work. I say embrace 'em, own 'em, and love your life!
