Things that Make Me Feel Old

April 4, 2008

  • I slipped and fell in the bathtub last night. I’m growing a big ol’ bruise. Just like an old woman.
  • I passionately hate the teenage taggers that bedevil my neighborhood.
  • Madonna is fifty.
  • Almost everyone around me has or is currently cultivating children.
  • It’s getting awfully hard to have five drinks and stay out til 2a.m. on school nights.
  • I actually remember to send thank-you cards.

You? Getting old, too? Or am I alone in this?

    I spent the week in a F2F where planning ruled the day and partying ruled the night. Our first night of partying, left many of us slow and low on Tuesday morning. Therefore, I can relate to your drinking on a school night comment.

    P.S. Pitbulls scare the b-jesus out of me too. Bad dog owner, bad.

    I’ve felt old on many occasions recently. Probably most so when at my school’s prom last year, “livin on a prayer” came on, and another teacher pointed out that most the people in the room weren’t born when that song came out.
