yeah, the parenting class is kinda ... disturbing, in the "divorce can be a positive experience for your children if you work at it!" attitude.

not as "cool" as her, huh? little ms teenie-bopper, eh? humph.

180 plotting... what's the wildest thing you've never done.. that you might ENJOY doing on a regular basis, if you could get up the nerve?

surfing? rock climbing?

hang gliding? parachuting? \:\)

or in the non-physical area.. erm... maybe "toastmasters".. ever heard of them?

(CAN you sing? or what about taking some stand-up comedy classes)

If you want to compete, with teeniebopper.. you dont have to compete at her level, or her area.
Get involved in something that says you're NOT just a frumpy old housewife, but someone dynamic, who knows how to get out there and have fun!
but most importantly.. dont fake something. Do it because YOU like it!
