Getting older just sucks! Things that I now Own, Buy, Do, Understand and Say. (house, buying)

[gizmobizmo]

This morning I was thinking how getting older can be a real drag. Oh, let's not forget the expense of getting older, too. Sheesh!!! Instead of being morose, I decided to stop and find the humor in it today.

I own things now that 15-20 years ago I never imagined having.
1. Spanx ( to hold in things that need to be held in )
2. Stretchy pants
3. Comfortable shoes ( I remember the days of sexy heels. Now my feet hurt when I wear them)

I buy things now that 15-20 years ago I never imagined ever buying.
1. Haircolor
2. Vitamin supplements
3. Healthy food
4. Haircolor
5. Anti-Aging formula lotions, serums, etc...
6. Did I mention haircolor?

I do things now that 15-20 years ago I never imagined doing.
1. Get out of bed when the birds start chirping. Damn birds!
2. Look in the mirror and think "Who in the hell is that?"
3. Take naps without embarrassment
4. Watch the news willingly
4. Go to bed before 3am

I understand things now that 15-20 years ago I never understood.
1. I know the importance of fiber and the end result.
2. I know what a bunion is.
3. I know what they are talking about on CNN now and actually care. To a point, anyway.

I say things now that 15-20 years ago I would have never said.
1. When I was your age.....
2. Back in the day......
4. I had all of their albums when I was younger.
5. If I was your mother I'd whoop your behind!
6. Those drunken fools are obnoxious. (Doesn't seem so obnoxious when you are the drunken fool.)

What can you add that you now Own, Buy, Do, Understand or Say

How about a car with a four-speed standard shift transmission, tried to teach my grandson how to drive and he didn't know how to use the clutch, had never seen a car with three petals before, they're all automatic transmissions now....

One thing I've noticed is that I can't stand teenagers. They just seem loud and obnoxious.

Oh,,, now that brings me to the last visit I had with a relative at the “old peoples home”, they too were loud and obnoxious while visiting there that day. What is it that teenagers have in common with the some of the elders?
Maybe it’s too small of an allowance or spending money?

Listening to the world news by choice!

Losing weight to feel better health wise, rather than for how hot I will look.

Driving a pick up for hauling horse supplies, dogs and gardening supplies, instead of the fact that some hot girl may like pick up trucks.

Going to work everyday because I'm relied on to be there, not from fear of being fired.

Not eating tacos because my gut won't tolerate it!!

Not drinking like a fish anymore because I finally figured out what others were laughing at the following day!!

Choosing food for nutrition rather than taste to get a few extra years out of this old body!
