These two women, that had to be well into their seventies, were talking about “quickies” and how they are really having the best sex of their life. Why I am so put off, I do not know. Maybe just the fact that they were older, almost grandmother figures, or the fact that they were so openly speaking about it in such a public setting. We (me and my two youngest) were eating at a family friendly restaurant.

So, I was rude to be listening in, and wrong to judge – maybe. But it really makes me wonder if sex gets better with age.

As we get older, there are no pregnancy worries (well, usually not) and hopefully no std worries. Let me think. The kids should be out of the house. There are probably not work stresses – hmmm. More time to enjoy it all?

I am at a time in my life when sex is not all that important to me. Maybe it is, and I am just too busy or too tired to notice. I am a very busy 40 year old mom of 4, and most of my friends and I are in agreement. And it is funny, though not really, that all of our husbands are in disagreement with us.

I guess I am hoping that as I get older I too can say, that I am having the best sex of my life. I certainly know my husband is waiting for that day to come. I guess as long as I am not too tired .

Who here is having the best sex of their life, and when can I (tell my husband) expect to?

There is a new website in town, called Boomertowne. I have seen it multiple times being plugged on TV! Yes, by way of television commercials. I was sort of surprised to see this.

When looking over the website, which is just overloaded with special guests and almost too much information, I sort of felt like I was lost in there. In the About Us page of the website, they lay claims to have three key areas, but then it goes on to list 6 areas. See what I mean about information overload?

Personally, I like more niche sites and blogs, where I can get in, get out, and find specifically what I want. But, that does not mean that I am missing the bigger picture here. One thing I totally don’t get, is the flash scene on the home page of the woman with a shopping bag walking her dog! You can switch her to walk either way, and it just makes no sense whatsoever to me!!! Am I alone here in how I feel?

If you like Boomertowne, let me know!

Granted only 1/2 of the kitchen is done, and my humungous refrigerator/freezer (it will go on the wall opposite from the sink, next to the wall oven) is on back order and not due in until the end of the month. Everything else is functional. I feel we have made so much progress in the last few weeks. So much so that I volunteered to hold a large family gathering last night – 32 people – and cooked for them all in my new digs!

Ignore that painters tape around the cook top – more grouting needs to be completed on my custom arch, and I still haven’t found the right wall plates for my electrical outlets. And I ran out of some of the door handles, so those will be back on after tomorrow. (Seems the contractor doesn’t know how to count!) Other than that, the cooking portion of the kitchen is almost complete.

The eating area, which is not pictured will be started tomorrow. We are having a custom booth-like seating area constructed that will be made out of the same materials as my cabinets. That should be finished just in time for the frig/freezer to come in, and then I should be able to call it finished.

I swear that I will never do another kitchen again. This is my 4th kitchen in this house, but we never moved walls and plumbing – so this was major over-haul.

Have you ever re-done your kitchen? Would you do it again?

Nexxus heard our cry and now has a line for younger looking hair, called Y Serum. There are three core products to the line: Shampoo, Conditioner, and Treatment – with a Finishing Mist available as well. The products are designed to work together, of course, and within just days, they restore years of hair damage.

The secret to the products is the Y Serum complex. This complex reverses the signs of aging hair, transforming mature, coarse, dull, and brittle hair into youthful, radiant, silky soft, and healthier hair. Literally, in just days.

This shampoo and conditioner smell great, and added instant vibrancy and shine to my hair. While the Treatment, applied to my damp hair, had the most effect. I would notice such a difference on the days I used this. My hair was more full of volume and shine, and looked overall much healthier.

Next time when you are at the salon, ask you stylist about the Nexxus Y Serum products and do give them a try. Your hair will be healthier and younger looking for it.

Boomergirl, created for boomer women, born 1946 to 1964, is a community-based website offering beauty, fashion, family, finances, fitness and health advice; information of all sort and the latest news; blogs written by Boomergirl staff and members; clubs to join; hot tip of the day, Brain Boost; and a daily Spanish lesson. You can find well-written editorials and virtual flashbacks into the past.

Boomergirl can be counted in as complementary company to BoomerWomenSpeak and Eons, all geared with a format for readers 50-plus. If you are a baby boomer, give Boomergirl a look. Although new to the internet, its aim looks to be comprehensive and I predict, will grow community fairly rapidly. After all, there is an estimated 77 million baby boomers in the U.S. alone. The youngest is now 43, and the oldest is 61. A baby boomer turns 60 every seven seconds, and this trend will continue for almost two decades to come.

That the internet is not flooded with blogs, social networks and websites focused on, and written by, this age demographic is currently a mystery to me. I suspect it is only a matter of time before we will see an influx of individuals and groups representing the baby boomer generation. Boomergirl is genius that way.

If you have a boomer-focused blog, website or social networking group, introduce yourself in the comments and leave a link. We would be delighted to meet you.
