Life&#39;s Better With Ayoub™

I became a mother. I think that's the biggest transformation a woman can ever go through. At least it was for me.

I have changed dramatically over the last five years and am still going through quite a tumultous transformation. I will forever be tickled that i'm no longer the shy, sheltered, and unmolded girl i used to be. (Goodness, it was horrible.) And it is all thanks to changing my environment; moving from Utah to Wisconsin. :)

Well, jeez, where to start... About three inches taller, fifteen pounds heavier, oh, and I'm no longer a high-school nerd who couldn't get a date to save my life. Now I'm a stay-at-home nerd who can't get a date to save my life.

I no longer play video games on the computer until the wee hours in the morning. Instead, I post on livejournal until the wee hours of the morning.

I no longer make references to music lyrics which no one understands; you see, I like all the pretty songs I like to sing along and I like to shoot my gun, but I don't mind what it means (Nirvana - In Bloom...see, now I tell people what song it is).

I no longer wear shorts regardless of the weather; I wear pants regardless of the weather (that's short pants and trousers for you Tories...I think...you guys are still Tories aren't you?).

I did mention the date thing, didn't I? ...yeah? Okay, I'm going to go sit in a dark corner and cry...about something else... I'm just kidding... I'll bottle it up inside and wait for it to explode like the manly man I am...

From:

Yep, I have aged 5 years.

oh yes indeed, none of it good, i think i have just got more and more depressed in the last 5 years, although hopefully im coming out the other side now.

From:

I feel im in a very similar place... Working on major changes to get back to me...

From:

The aging thing gets to me every year ... I don't even want to think 5 years ahead :)

From:

Believe me... I've seen the change! :D

From:

Shy?

Wow...

Heh... I was in Wisconsin last year... :D

From:

Thank God you haven't seen the 20 pounds that were added :)))

From:

LMAO!

Yeah, we're still Tories, even though they call themselves Labour :P

And dude! There's a lot of women out there who like geeks!

From:

LMAO! :D

The thing about guys and ageing... it's all good :D

From:

I've certainly been there, my friend...

From:

LMAO!

You look great in your recent pics though :)

From:

Don't worry about that, it's not the years that count, it's how you spend them.

It's slowly coming off ... have to say it was easier to lose weight before I was 30 ::sigh::

From:

Sure, easy for you to say, you've still got all your hair.

I know I've changed in the past five years. For example:
- I've calmed down a lot (Especially in the last 3 years)
- I'm more focused
- I'm more willing to listen before voicing my opinion
- I've learned to stifle my opinion until it's asked for
- I'm less trusting
- I'm more dedicated to things/people I feel are worth my time
- I'm way more pragmatic
- I think more in the 'long-term' than the 'right now'
just to name a few

Basically, I've done a lot of growing up.
