I used to have a lot of magazine subscriptions but now the only one left is MORE magazine.
I used to love More, more than I do today.
I still very much enjoy this magazine but it's changed.
When they got a new editor it took a different turn.
It was subtle but it's just different today.
I am on a More board of sorts.
They send me a questionnaire about each and every page that I am to answer after each new month comes out.
I know it's different but I can't seem to pinpoint or articulate exactly where that left turn was made.
It continues to address issues, articles etc of woman 40+.
Of late the articles don't thrill me.
I wish I could figure out exactly where it all went wrong for me but I can't seem to do it.
I would prefer the old editor but I'm sure that is not in the cards.
The things I enjoy about this magazine is it isn't mommy centric, it's about the next chapter.
It's about women's issues that run the gamut. They can be about career changes, career moves, empty nest, relationships, friendships, political, books and the frivolous like clothes and makeup for the 40+ group.
I don't enjoy it as much as I used to but they did publish a post of mine and that was nice.
So then I have that guilt because I don't enjoy it as much and they were nice to play with me.
Do any of you read this magazine and have you noticed the slow shift in the magazine?
In other news......
It's Leap Day isn't it? That means we get an extra day.
So if I have an extra day why must I do everything I do on regular days?
Why can't this be a day off? A day to sleep. To do whatever you want to do.
To rejuvenate yourself.
Instead I am working on taxes today.
I don't think that is what anyone had in mind for an extra day.
Woo-hoo an extra day of stress!
Argh.

Argh is one of those wonderful words that cover a lot of territory. Hope you're pleasantly surprised by the day.
I'm off to work, but the three hour drive puts me into an airport proof coma.
Enjoy the day Peg.
Diva - Oooh that is the secret.
A 3 hr drive first. Damn!
I should have known that tid bit all those years. Would have saved me a lot of drama. :-)
I get More. I used to read it cover to cover, but....and I don't know when this happened.....I breeze through it, and it takes all of 15 minutes to be done with it! Maybe it's that the articles are about things that don't apply to me, or maybe they are focusing on celebs that I don't care about. I just know that it's not holding any interest for me.
Yep....just went through the issue with Julianne Moore on the cover (can't she ever comb her hair!?!) and it took less than 10 minutes! And I'm sick of all the ads in it.....way too much!
I've never read that magazine. I have 2 years until I'm 40, not going to push it haha.
I wish it was a national sleep day. I could go for a long nap.
Regan you said it just the way I feel. I too used to look forward to it but it doesn't have stories that speak to me anymore. I haven't look at it anymore than a couple of pages and then put it down.I am letting my subscription run out I think. I need to go check out Julianne's hair now. I think she is gorgeous but I looked at it so little that i hadn't noticed how they "fixed" her up for the photo shoot.
Fellow blogger John suggested that today should be a global holiday. I agree.
Nope not read this one.

:gasp: j/k
Just noticed your birthday is the same day as my Grandma's was, great day!
Julie - and I bet she was a great broad too! :-)
I don't think I've ever seen a "More" magazine. The only thing we've gotten around here, for years, is AARP.
Cora....that's funny...because I understand damn it!
an extra day of stress - well said - mine's been off the charts lately.
I do enjoy reading More every now and then. Says something that I'm not at the "More" age...
