when the great accomplishment of the day is I actually did not have to remember what I needed to do to keep Red happy.

when dragging the ten boxes of christmas stuff from and back to the basement to upstairs before and after the holidays is more work than you want and you decide the memories of it all, are good enough..lol

Reading glasses are so necessary, that if you forget them when you leave for work, you purchase a pair on the way.

Finally found my keys, in the fridge, next to the tylenol....work was difficult--that's my claim, and I'm sticking to it!

oh, except I was off the day before...

The remote to the tv went missing and after tearing up the living room, it was found on the dryer in the mud room...

I would have sworn that I didn't have it, but I was the only one up and moving around...

oy...

I’ve heard myself describing someone as “a nice young man”

My doctor looks like he’s about 15

I have dollar store reading glasses in every room of the house, and if I can’t find my favourite pair they are just as likely to be in the freezer (turns out they freeze nicely) as they are to be pushed up on my head (which I will discover when I choose another pair and then notice I am wearing two pairs)

During a conversation with a friend about the Beatles, her 17 year old daughter piped up “the Beatles, that’s Paul McCartney’s old group, right?”

Someone asks if you're your son's grandma.

When every single bus driver, doctor, emt, etc looks about 12 and you hear yourself say "surely they can't be old enough to fix this..."

When you bend over to pick something up and your knees make more snap crackle and poppin then your breakfast cereal..

HoustonHuny · 12-21-2011, 07:50 PM

When your chin hairs are longer than the hair on your head.

Butterbean · 12-21-2011, 08:21 PM

When you notice your pubic hairs are a full shade (or two) lighter than the hairs on your head.

When you start a sentence with

*In my long life, I have discovered*

I kid you not, Mitmo about fell of the sofa when those words came out of my mouth...

*blink* kill me now, before I get any more pompus...

Gina · 12-21-2011, 09:53 PM

Getting older is amusing to say the least. I still do things that others my age are afraid to do. The other night I got to drive someone's big rig. I loved it! But would not do it for a living...In my 60's I've gone snorkeling, zip-lining and para-sailing. I guess I just have to see what tomorrow brings? Merry Christmas and Happy 2012 all..!!!!

When you get one of those "winds" and you think you can do everything you used to in one day... and..... you whack out your back!

OS Butch · 12-21-2011, 10:27 PM

When you are at work and the guys you work with are boys in their 20's and they treat you like their mom rather than a co-worker... which is not bad all the time, like when having to take a very heavy piece of equipment off the truck, which has become harder these days.

Sorry about the back going out,th last couple of days mine has been a roaring bitch at diffrent times,I will be so glad when it gets to be spring cause when it warms up I can move better as well as have less pain.My doc said to move to a dryer climate...I told him for the moment most of the dryer climates are heavly layered with snow.Not any dryer, not any warmer.

Please tell me that it was not followed by stories of going uphill, both ways, barefoot and in the snow.
