Edge of Forty


In honor of my friend Ida's 40th birthday I re-did the lyrics of Lady Gaga's Edge of Glory to be "Edge of Forty". I don't think she appreciated the old jokes in there but I think I was projecting myself just a tiny bit. Anyway, hope you get a kick out of them! We sang them during the party and gave out the lyrics for people to sing along with us.

"Edge of Forty"

There is a reason you and me just feel so old tonight yeah baby tonight yeah baby.
I know the reason you and I should get so drunk tonight.
We need a girl that tells us what we're doing wrong tonight yeah baby tonight yeah baby.
Give her some spirits so she'll grab the microphone tonight.
It's hard to feel the rush, to see the big 4-0.
I'm gonna run right to get some clairol too so we can both turn back the time.

I'm on the edge of 40. And I'm sagging like a day old balloon.
Out on the edge of 40. And my eyes look like they're on a raccoon.
I'm on the edge the edge the edge the edge the edge the edge the edge.
I'm on the edge of 40. But I'm peaking not a moment too soon. I'm on the edge it's true.

Another shot before we both forget the time tonight yeah baby tonight yeah baby.
We're on the edge of something magical called life tonight. Alright alright.
Put on your shades cause ida's future is so bright tonight yeah baby tonight yeah baby.
It isn't bad if everybody knows your age tonight. Forty Forty!
It's hard to look this posh, without a bit botox.
I'm gonna fill a line here and there one too.
So we can both look thirty two.

I'm on the edge of 40. Can feel menopause coming too soon.
Out on the edge of 40. Got more wrinkles than this side of the moon.
I'm on the edge the edge the edge the edge the edge the edge.
I'm on the edge of 40. But I'm peaking not a moment too soon. I'm on the edge it's true.

I'm on the edge it's true.
I'm on the edge it's true.

I'm on the edge of 40. And I'm sagging like a day old balloon.
Out on the edge of 40. And my eyes look like they're on a racoon.
I'm on the edge the edge the edge the edge the edge the edge.
I'm on the edge of 40. But I'm peaking not a moment too soon. I'm on the edge it's true.
It's true, it's true, it's true, it's true. I'm on the edge it's true.
It's true, it's true, it's true, it's true. I'm on the edge it's true.
It's true, it's true, it's true, it's true. I'm on the edge it's true.

Gigi's Baby Shower

Image
Even though I had barely done any planning with the exception of sending out the Evite , I did manage to pull off a very nice baby shower for Gigi. We did it at Essencha Tea House on Madison because we were too many to do it at the Bonbonerie . I got some decorations at Factory Card Outlet and recycled some other ones from Ida's baby shower last September. We had a great showing and the food at Essencha Tea House was really great. I had to bring Gabi with me because Jose had a soccer game but she did OK, even though she was a little tired because she skipped her afternoon nap. In any case, if anyone has a baby or wedding shower to plan, or just wants to go to eat at a nice place, I highly recommend Essencha Tea House . Oh, and the best part is that they serve breakfast all day, which as any friend of mine can bear witness to, is a HUGE plus for me. Speaking of which, after we got home and Gabi finally napped, we went to Boston Market followed by Graeter's . And tha

Marketing Jobs

In my current job I see a lot of people undergoing job transitions and looking to expand their networks in order to improve their chances of future job placement.  Today I met a very interesting woman who had a very similar profile to mine, minus the international experience.  She wanted to talk to me given my similar profile in Marketing and see how I saw the job market these days. She seemed to think that it's harder and harder to find jobs in Marketing in Peru these days. One of the reasons? It seems that because of the economic downturn and the uncertainty about the election results (sounds just like the US, I know) companies are cutting back on Marketing budgets. Sounds familiar right? DON'T. CUT. BACK. ON. MARKETING. BUDGETS. FOLKS.  Maybe there's some fat that you can trim here and there, maybe you change your marketing vehicles in favor of more cost efficient ones like Digital (and I'm not saying you should), maybe you focus more on Trade Marketing or Price
