A month or so ago I was contacted by a lady who is blogging with her sister on all things middle aged. They call themselves Mid Life Gals. We exchanged some emails and it was clear to me that these two were characters of the first degree. And, being the snoop that I am, the more we went back and forth, the more I realized I could not rest until I had heard the backstory on these two!
I mean, two 50 something gals who didn't even know what a blog is only a few short months ago have already captured the attention of MORE magazine, the folks who run SXSW, and various book publishers. Not bad for a start :)
The blog is not for the faint hearted or for those who walk out of R rated movies. Despite that...or because of it...it is hilarious. And, don't even get me started on the videos...the one of SalGal 'barrel racing' with one of those scooters elderly folks sometimes find useful is...well check out Jazzy Scooter Race for yourself.
I finally got to satisfy my curiosity and met KK and SalGal for lunch last week. They started right off with a glass of wine. You know, I'm always somewhat jealous of folks who have drinks at lunch. It seems decadent, it seems vaguely European, it seems so, well, so sophisticated!
I myself find it hard to partake. I tell myself it's because I would be asleep all afternoon and it is the rare afternoon I don't have something I THINK is important to do (as opposed to without a doubt important to do :). But, it could be because it seems decadent, etc. Normally I would LOVE being decadent and sophisticated...what is my hang up with this??!!
Whatever...the conversation did get rolling without benefit of my imbibing. Anyway, within minutes, I realized that they are, indeed, characters of the first degree, delightful characters! We hit it right off. Hmmm, maybe it takes one to know one. Don't you think it's better to be a character and in the company of characters than too straight-laced. Next time, maybe I can get up the nerve to belly right up to the bar and have a glass too!
You should check these two out, they are a hoot hoot hoot! You can see them on their blog (link above) or on WomenBloom.

Hello. This post is likeable, and your blog is very interesting, congratulations :-). I will add in my blogroll =). If possible gives a last there on my blog, it is about the Flores Online, I hope you enjoy. The address is http://flores-on-line.blogspot.com. A hug.
Hey Allison. I love these gals. They are on my blog roll and they are a hoot. However, I had not seen the scooter roll before - hysterical. One of them has an imdb history (maybe SalGal), have you seen it? So, are you in Austin too? Is that how you got to meet them? How fun was that?
Anyway, the first thing that caught my attention was the jtote bags in your "Cool Stuff" section. I saw that and thought, I just had to have one of those things (and what with my birthday coming up and my hubby always asking me what I want.) But I did want to tell you that your link for the jtote bags has a comma instead of a period in part of it, so your link currently doesn't work. And I also wanted to know if you were just pointing to it, or if you have some sort of commission, in which case I wanted to make sure I went to the right URL for you to get a piece of that action.
N G in P,
Yes, Sally was in Hollywood for a long time. I'm doing WomenBloom and they are in the midlife realm as well so we bumped into each other in cyberspace, realized we were both in Austin and, voila!
We've become good friends actually and WB features their blog as well as some other occasional essays they do.
Thanks for pointing out the link issue. Fixed now! No, no commission, just like their bags!
Thanks for visiting!
