I is Old.

I'm old. You want to know how I know?

Because I no longer roll my eyes when people say "time sure does fly, the older you get."

Now I just shake my head furiously in agreement.

I fear large groups of teenagers, like the one on my flight yesterday afternoon. All the girls had 4,321 bobby pins in their hair and sported matching lip gloss. Beyond frightening.

I caught myself driving a few miles BELOW the speed limit last week. Who AM I?

I'm old.

Swear on my life, I stabbed myself under a fingernail with a pen two days ago and I actually yelled, "JIMMINY CHRISTMAS!"

Um. WHAT?

In my youthful days, the F-bomb would have been appropriate.

I'm sitting here, at my computer, blogging as an Icy Hot back patch works it's magic.

Need I say more?

Suddenly I'm overcome with a desire to watch Golden Girls reruns....they make old sexy.

'Thank you for being a friend
Traveled down the road and back again
Your heart is true your a pal and a confidant.

And if you through a party
Invited everyone you ever knew
You would see the biggest gift would be from me
And the card attached would say thank you for being a friend.' XOXO MELISSA :)

Well, like I tell my spouse, getting older beats the hell out of the alturnative. As long as you are above ground, you still have the opportunity to make the days worthwhile.

OLD? C'mon, H. Old is when an outburst of laughter is immediately quelled by the thought "oh, I hope I put the Depends on tightly!"; OLD is when you have to ask April to pass you your TEETH first thing in the morning!; OLD is when the F-bomb has nothing to do with a verbal curse..(oooh that gassy Dog!)

OLD is when your Girlfriend wants you to take her to DENNY'S for the 4pm special because payday isn't til Friday and "we can eat cheaper on your AARP card, Honey." Ahem.

Icy Hot for the back? I'll have to look for that @ Walgreen's!
