Yep, that's right! It's my BIRTHDAY!
And to celebrate I've come up with ten clues you might be getting old.
10 - The 30-something hunk that held the door open for you at the post office this morning, called you MA'AM.
9 - Your first car had an 8-track player and you thought it was cool.
8 - Your best friends daughter asks you how old you are and you have to borrow her calculator to figure it out.
7 - You're not as worried about shaving your legs or arm pits as you are about using the latest hair removal techniques on your FACE.
6 - You spend more time using an emery board on your heels than your nails.
5 - You swear the directions on the Tylenol bottle have gotten smaller and smaller.
4 - You go to a class reunion and can't believe how old everyone looks. No way could you have gone to school with them.
3 -You've given up pulling gray hairs for fear of going BALD.
2 - The cashier at the grocery store gets on the intercom to ask a box boy to help you out with your groceries. You have two small bags and a gallon of milk.
1 - Your mailbox if filled with advertisements for Geritol, Denture Cream and orthopedic shoes, and you just received an exclusive invitation to join AARP.
BONUS - You know your getting old when you have to get a permit from the fire marshal to light the candles on your birthday cake.
Feeling old yet? How old do you think I am? 35? 39? 42? 49? 51? Pick one, I dare you.
While you're thinking that over, here's a little tune. Sing a long if you like.
Happy birthday to you.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to you.
Happy birthday to Christine.
Happy birthday to you!
Sorry, that got a little--oh who am I kidding--a lot off key, but the spirit was there.
Fun list. I can't say I've ever been called ma'am in person before, but I do worry about facial hair and going bald. I guess that means I'm old.
And I'm going to guess you're less than 4,200,000,000 years old. Which, officially, makes you younger than dirt. And don't let anyone tell you different. :)
Happy Birthday!! :D I hope you have a fabulous day! ;)
ReplyDeleteHaha! The oldest choice is 51 and even that's not THAT OLD! You're young still. :)
ReplyDeleteI *know* how old you are. And let me say that it's extremely considerate of you for catching up with the REST of us!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday... Young lady! ;-D
Just one member of your Adoring Public,
Jay ("The Man from TV")
So fun! Of course, I know, but if I had to guess, I'd say you were 39 :)
ReplyDeleteHappy, Happy Birthday Chris! You are loved!! ♥
Happy birthday!
ReplyDeleteWe went to my husband's 20 year HS reunion last summer, and I totally couldn't believe how old everyone looked! Of course, it's way easier to believe that it's only THEM.
Happy Birthday!
ReplyDeleteJust found your blog. New to the publishing world so I really appreciate the advice and the humor. :)
So many top ten things struck a chord for me or at least they struck my funny bone. Happy belated birthday, Christine!
