Thursday Thirteen #1 - again

Thirteen Things That Remind Me I'm Getting Older 1.... My baby turned 18 yesterday! How can I be old enough to have an 18 year old baby? 2.... My first-born will be 27 in a couple of weeks! You know how close to 30 that is? 3.... I was a key-punch operator in my early 20's! We were talking about the key-punch operators and ancient computers today at work. Remember the noisy machines with the keyboard you typed on making holes in the cards that were then carried to another building and put into huge computers and gave you printed reports! Yeah, I think that's pretty old! 4.... My son gets a thrill out of hearing me answer him when he (loudly) asks me my age when we are in public! Really, I don't see the humor in it, but he certainly enjoys it! 5.... I have decided to stop coloring my hair! You know what it costs to have highlights put in? Why should I spend all that money when I have my own God-given gift of beautiful silver highlights! 6.... I now opt for comfort rather than fashion for my shoes! If comfort and fashion actually make it together in a pair - what a find! 7.... I fall asleep on the couch around 9:00, 9:30 every evening! That used to be the time I was just heading out for an evening of fun! 8.... I have to stand up and walk a bit at least once every hour! If I sit in one place (such as my desk at work) any longer than that, I get stiff! Yeah, try walking that out! 9.... I need to invest in lotions - hand, body, face, heel cream, cuticle cream, anti-wrinkle cream, elbow cream . . . the list goes on and on! 10... I'm thinking about buying our cemetery plots! Yes, I really am! If you knew you would be needing a "home" - a place to move into - wouldn't you want to pick it out early? Who wants to wait until the last minute when everything's been picked over! 11... My 5th grandchild will be arriving in a couple of weeks! Number 5! I guess I never thought about the number of grandchildren I would have - they outnumber my children now! 12... I find that I usually have to drive in the right hand lane of traffic because everyone else is passing me! I think they're just all in too big a hurry! 13... Last but not least - I did turn 50 in November! That a real milestone and I'm enjoying my maturity, wisdom and new discounts I'm discovering come with age! In His Love and Blessings annb
