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.

Ha ha... have you left an offering for the 'clothes ferry' in your closet Twink? :)

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:rolleyes: 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:eek: (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:confused::D pain in my butt!
