Is it possible to have a mid-life crisis in your 30s? It turns out, from my research, the answer is yes (for women).

I think I'm having one.

When I was younger I was supremely confident about what my 30s would look like. And now I'm in my mid-30s I'm kind of worried I'm not where I'm meant to be. Did I make all the right choices up to now? Why does it look like other women my age have succeeded so much better?

Also: I'm terrified that I'm about to become an Invisible Woman. (I always coasted on my looks, but now weird things -- wrinkles, some fat -- are happening, and I didn't invite them. I'm now becoming known as 'Madame' instead of 'Mademoiselle' for god's sake!)

I'm now in full reassessment mode. And I'm bringing you along for the musings on it. But fear not: I'm having a cold, hard look at my aging angst in the cold, hard packed slopes of the French Alps. Skiing metaphors on aging!
