Boobie Tassles for the Sheltered

Just recently, I have discovered that mostly everyone I know is extremely sheltered.  Who knew that most people haven't had the life that I have had?!  I thought that everyone couldn't wait to move out of their parents house at age 17 and move to NYC to begin a life of pure thrill.  Who knew that most people never worked in nightclubs at 18, partied with gangsters & drug dealers & rockstars, traveled the world from Paris to Rome to Buenos Aires and lived life by the seat of their pants...  Trust me - I don't think that my life is a "model lifestyle" - that's for sure.  I sometimes can't believe that I am still here.  I should have been dead considering some of the stories I could tell you about.  But here I am now - mother, house wife, I cook, I clean, I take my kid to mommy & me classes...I am a suburban woman.  I just find it shocking that when I talk to my friends and neighbors - no one really has done much of anything.  When I share my stories - I think most people think I am lying (that's if they even bother to listen).  I think most folks think I am the "crazy lady" on the block who makes up stories and tall tales to get attention or something.  The truth is that it's all true.  I've lived a great, fullfilled life - no regrets.  I have so many amazing, insane experiences and I've lived to talk about it.  I think it's awesome.  Sometimes I miss it.  Sometimes I miss the thrill.  Funny enough, I think this is just who I am.  When I was a little girl, I couldn't wait to grow up and become a Las Vegas show girl - boobie tassles and all.  I don't know many 4 year old little girls who dream about wearing boobie tassles the way I did (and still do).
