I bought a new wrinkle cream. If you use it once a day, you look younger in a month. Twice a day, you look younger in two weeks. I ate it. As the years go by, and the decades begin to pile up, people will do just about anything to reverse the signs of aging: LASIK surgery, industrial-strength hair dye, seven consecutive forty-ninth birthday parties. Rita Rudner is no exception. When she turned fifty, she couldn’t even bear to say the word. In I Still Have It . . . I Just Can’t Remember Where I Put It, Rudner writes with humor and candor about all of the small indignities and everyday absurdities that have become standard fare. From the perils of catalog-ordering addiction to the challenges of keeping up with the latest in electronics, lingerie, and reality television to the joys and worries of being an older mother to the long search for the perfect retirement house, Rita covers it all. So put on your bifocals and power up your sense of humor! Just don’t blame Rita when your laugh lines get visibly deeper. Refreshingly honest and undeniably hilarious, I Still Have It . . . I Just Can’t Remember Where I Put It is a laugh-out-loud look at the wonders and the surprises of life on the dark side of fifty.… (més)

essays on aging

Rita Rudner is a funny lady. She wrote this in 2008, when my 50's were still a comfortable few years away. I would have laughed just as much if I read it then, but I can definitely relate even more now that I am also a Fiftysomething.

Rudner's style reminds me a bit of Seinfeld - gentle, observational humor that is not crass or mean-spirited. She tells stories specific to her life as a stand-up comic, but also about things most women can relate to: toilet training a toddler; the challenge of buying your husband a Christmas present year after year; the indignities of growing older in a society that worships youth; and caring for an aging parent - all entertaining, with many laugh-out-loud moments.

[I am SO glad I happened to spot this on my bookshelf - I devoured it in less than 24 hours, laughing all the way, and thus completed the 60th and final book for my 2019 reading challenge! Now I can stop hate-reading the idiotic Christmas romance that would otherwise have closed out my reading year.] ( )

It's a delightfully funny book. It's not so much a biography as a series of short essays reminiscent of her stage performance. It's rare that a book will actually make me laugh out loud, and this one did many times. It comes at a difficult time in my life, and I needed those laughs.

It's a short book and a very quick read. I recommend it to anyone needing to bring back a little humor to their lives. ( )

There is something so traumatic about a woman turning fifty that for a while I was unable to form the actual word.
