Signs I'm Getting Old....

Aside from the fact that I just logged into Blogger using my Yahoo email name and couldn't find my trusty ole blog, where do I begin?  Getting old pretty much sucks!


  • while driving around running errands today, this is the sign I thought I read for a day care...
      • "Nutmeg Young Children"
      • Actually, the sign read "Nurturing Young Children"
  • needing my reading glasses in the shower, grocery store, reading prescriptions, cutting my toe nails, trimming my cats' nails, etc., etc.
  • in the past, I've always had a great sense of direction, these days, I get lost in the parking lot
  • after taking the first of what I refer to as my "old lady falls" when pointing out the first pollen on the cars last month, I am now terrified that the next "old lady fall" is just around the corner
  • I truly remember gas being $.26 a gallon on base many, many moons ago
  • when I watch Entertainment Tonight, I pretty much have no idea who the actors they feature are anymore
The list continues on and on, but I am really interested to know....what signs of getting old are you experiencing these days?

Needing glasses for every little thing is very annoying! Needing to go to bed when it's still light out is no fun either!

I spend way to much time returning to the starting point because I forget what I meant to do in the next location (in my house...). My son and my husband think it is pretty funny.

Stopped wearing contact lenses when I had to put reading glasses on to be able to see the food on my plate!

Aside from a new wrinkle - I am calling it a smile crease - there's not much else going down hill .. oh wait there goes all the tone my body ever had .. ta ta ..

I wonder of that Ambien you take isnt the cause of some of your 'getting old' symptoms

Nice post indeed! well, truly granny getting old. It's obviously seen that our bodies never lie when it comes to revealing true age. With granny, she can no longer scrub some areas in our house due to arthritis and blurred vision.

A Peak at 2010 for Fellow Taureans

Year 2010 Overview Taurus always gets tagged with things like "pleasure-seeking" and "materialistic." That's probably unfair, in most cases. You're just as good at dishing out the pleasure as you are at seeking it, and who doesn't like a few nice things around? Sadly, there's been just too much struggle in your life the last couple of years when it comes to those two very important parts of your life. Thankfully, 2010 marks the end of that long uphill struggle . Your pleasurable pursuits have been a little more restricted than you'd like over the course of the last two years or so. That's over with now, so ... game on! The big events this year will not so much be a matter of major happenings as they will be things that have been in the works and are slowly revealing themselves . In the last two years, you've put a lot of work into what makes you happy, while Saturn transited your solar Fifth House. Now that those pressures are finally bei...

Christmas in July Give A Way

Image
What better way to celebrate the middle of summer with a give a way for one lucky blogging friend? Just because I want to, I will be giving away a Christmas box with an accordion album. This happens to be my design and I have already given one away last December. Sorry, Kate , you will have to sit this one out! This paper mache box holds an accordion album inside. More than likely, I will make a minor modification to the box before shipping it to its new home. I really love these vintage papers from Melissa Frances Scrapbook . Her collection of designs and patterns reminds me of a little sea side cottage. I can smell the ocean spray right now. These papers bring me back to a time when I think I would have loved to live…The Victorian Age. But let’s not fool anyone, I want all of the modern day luxuries. This paper on the left takes me back to a time when I played with cut outs. I was never a doll kid, but give me cut outs and I was happy for days. S o if you think you would ...
