I'm not getting any younger, and it's starting to show! Here are some of my most recent signs of "reaching adulthood".
1. I can no longer count my single gray hairs. They are now marrying and having "Duggar style" families.
2. My brain cells are decreasing, but my fat cells are multiplying. It makes no sense, but then why would it? My brain is shrinking.
3. I make this "ugh" sound when getting up from chairs, and forget about sitting on the floor!
4. I'm asking children how to run my computer, phone, and anything else tech-y.
5. My nightstand contains things only my Grandma would recognize.
6. I can no longer sleep in past 8, can't stay up until midnight, and fall asleep during good movies.
7. I read the nutrition labels on the food. Enough said.
8. I don't get the whole "Twilight" obsession. Read the book. Saw the movie. Still scratching my head.
9. I have bags under my eyes, and they are so not "Gucci".
10. I start every sentence with my kids...."Well, when I was a kid...." and watch them roll their eyes.
11. I also have saddlebags.....but strangely, no horse.
12. I am more interested in plants than fashion.
13. I recently saw a much older woman wearing a shirt I just bought. See #12
14. I am starting to hold reading material away from my face!
15. I am now seeing the result of years of tanning....Sunscreen, people!! Hear me!
16. I relate better to 45 year olds than 35 year olds.
17. I watch the news and drink coffee.
18. My husband and I have discussed retirement plans.
19. My husband and I have discussed being grandparents one day!
20. I am now too old for mini skirts, pigtails, ripped jeans, and shirts that say "hottie" on them.
21. I can finally afford the things I didn't have when I was young, but now I no longer want them!
See, getting older isn't all that bad. So I have to color some gray hair. Big deal. So I have a few aches and pains. So what. I'm wiser, smarter, and much better looking than I was at 20!
I think I like being a "grown up" after all!! Gotta go. My "arthur's" buggin' me.
