Happy Birthday to ME!!


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!

    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... Young lady! ;-D

  6. Happy birthday!

    We 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.
