Observations on Growing Older

~Your kids are becoming you...and you don't like them
...but your grandchildren are perfect!
~Going out is good.
Coming home is better!
~When people say you look "Great"...
They add "for your age!"
~When you needed the discount, you paid full price.
Now you get discounts on everything...
Movies, hotels, flights, but you're too tired to use them.
~You forget names ... But it's OK
Because other people forgot
They even knew you!
~The 5 pounds you wanted to lose
Is now 15 and you have a better chance
Of losing your keys than the 15 pounds.
~You realize you're never going
To be really good at anything .... Especially golf.
~Your spouse is counting on you
To remember things you don't remember.
~The things you used to care to do,
You no longer care to do,
But you really do care that you
Don't care to do them anymore.
~Your husband sleeps better on a lounge chair
With the TV blaring than he does in bed.
It's called his "pre-sleep".
~Remember when your mother said,
"Wear clean underwear in case you GET in an accident"?
Now you bring clean underwear in case you HAVE an accident!
~You used to say,
"I hope my kids GET married...
Now, "I hope they STAY married!"
~You miss the days when everything worked
With just an "ON" and "OFF" switch..
~When GOOGLE, ipod, email, modem ...
Were unheard of, and a mouse was something
That made you climb on a table.
~You used to use more 4 letter words ...
"what?"......"when?"... ?
~Now that you can afford
Expensive jewelry, it's not safe to wear it anywhere.
~Your husband has a night out with the guys,
But he's home by 9:00 P.M. Next week it will be 8:30 P.M.
~You read 100 pages into a book before you realize you've read it.
~Notice everything they sell in stores is "sleeveless"?!
~What used to be freckles are now liver spots.
~Everybody whispers.

~Now that your husband has retired ...
You'd give anything if he'd find a job!
~You have 3 sizes of clothes in your closet ...
2 of which you will never wear.
~~~~But old is good in some things:
Old songs,
Old movies,
And best of all, OLD FRIENDS!

Love you, "OLD FRIEND!"

I love this!

My closet has 4 sizes of clothes

1. Clothes that fit.
2. Clothes that were bought thinking I can lose weight and fit into them.
3. Clothes that were bought thinking I will somehow get the inspiration to lose weight.
4. Clothes that I forgot I even owned as I bought them when I weighed less and kept pushing them back into the closet hoping that they would magically get larger.

Getting old is not for sissies, believe me.

Nope. I solved that problem a long time ago. I just close the closet door on the stuff that's magically getting larger and built a nice high wooden table so I can put all my "current" clothes on hangars and hang them there. I've also converted a small bedroom into a huge walk in closet that I never go into either. 3 walls just packed with clothes on hangars. Those are the "I'll get inspiration to wear" clothes. It works when I shut that bedroom door also. Then when I venture into the room every year I don't remember owning all those nice clothes that don't magically fit anymore.

Maybe I need to get a good clothes fairy or go on a good diet and lose the lard or just put the fork down.

There is no leaving the fork down Things just move to different locations when your not looking. I weigh less than I did 10 years ago, but those clothes don't fit (Yes, I'm saving clothes from 10 years ago) Hey, they are classic, and they might fit again!

I love the 'pre-sleep' thing Happens every night.
And why are all the cute clothes sleeveless pain in my butt!
