1. I have developed a liking for coffee. Well, not REAL coffee as Daddy would like to point out. I've always liked the smell of coffee but not the taste. Then I discovered FLAVORED creamers and syrups. I like a little coffee in my mug of yummy flavored goodness. The point: I am now a coffee drinker even if only 1/3 of my cup is coffee. I'm old.
2. I am truly interested in the presidential election this year. Last week, I anticipated the debate days before, watched the ENTIRE viewing intently and critiqued each of the candidates along the way. Yep, that's old.
3. I found a gray hair on my head and promptly scheduled an appointment for a cut and COLOR. Definitely old.
4. I drive a mini-van. No longer do I jump out and walk away quickly before someone notices that it belongs to me. I've actually started to appreciate it for the family vehicle it truly is. No denying it--I'm old.
6. I went on my first official Kindergarten field trip as a chaperon. Old again.
7. My cholesterol panel is high so I've taken to oatmeal, Cheerios or anything else high fiber to naturally reduce my level. I'm REALLY old.
8. We have a recycling center in the garage and our own reusable grocery bags. I think that makes me old AND granola.
9. Recently I said to my son, "When I was your age we didn't even HAVE computers". Ugghhh...I'm soooo old.
10. Daddy found a hair on my neck. It was long enough that he could pull it out without tweezers. Gross. I think that constitutes more than old.
I don't know how or when it happened but I know it's true. All I need to do now is sign up for water aerobics and dye my hair blue. Anyone care to join me?

OH MY!!! Yep, I guess those descriptions officially make you old. The only problem I have with it...I've reached those milestones as well (some of them a long time ago)...does that mean...{NO I will not admit to being old or even older than you}. I'm not growing old gracefully, though. I'm going down kicking and screaming like a young chick would!! Every birthday I have, I declare "This is going to be my best year ever." Since that could mean anything...I'm good! Next week, I'll say it again. Not sure I can out-do the events of this past year, though!
miss you
Soooo considering that I'm almost SEVEN years older than you, what does that make me??? Ancient??? Thanks. Now I feel old... and I don't even drive a mini-van!! (I do remember life without computers and cell phones, though. I even remember life without microwaves!) :-)
OH my!! Hahaha - comes with 30 I tell ya!
this cracked me up and i can always use a good laugh about now since Maggie is still awake and I am exhausted ... thanks ...
Now I really feel OOOOLLLLDDDDD! And just think about your mother who will be turning the big nifty fifty next year. Wonder what will be so nifty!! Ha Ha. Live it up girl while you still can.... Love ya MOM :)
