Just because I like the same music as my tween daughter...

does not mean I am having a mid-life crisis.

On the other hand, I am a bit concerned about my growing fondness for Ke$ha...



I totally ♥ Ke$ha's "Your Love Is My Drug."

Ditto LaRoux's "Bulletproof," which is so 1980s New Wave/Techno Pop (i.e., totally awesome):



But just because I like the same music as my daughter, have the occasional shot of vodka before 5 p.m.*, dream of chucking it all and running off to Australia, and haven't changed out of my pajamas in four days** doesn't mean I'm having a mid-life crisis, does it?

Though my daughter thought I was kidding*** when, after she jokingly suggested that the spouse and I would fight over custody if we ever got divorced, I replied there would be no fight. The spouse could have her -- and she could come visit me once a month. (Seriously, is there a vaccine you can get to protect your sanity from teenagers? If so, sign me up.)

*Like you haven't.
**The part about the PJs? Kidding! At least this week.
***Of COURSE, I was -- for those of you, who, like MY mother (who just wrote me a chastising note) thought I was serious.
