Signs You Are Nearing 50!

I don’t need the date on the calendar to tell me I’m nearing 50 because the signs are all there.  Here are a few recent incidents I’ve recently encountered:

• You become so bloated you actually take a pregnancy test.  However, it’s not a baby you are giving birth to – it’s menopause!

• You enter on-line sweepstakes and, during the point you must enter your birth year, instead of picking toward the top of the list, you are now scrolling down, and down, and down to find your birth year;

• Cosmopolitan, your once go-to magazine for trends and articles, now seems so embarrassingly juvenile;

• Getting up early used to mean 6am.  This has now morphed into regularly waking at 4:30am….just because;

• The only time you can enjoy chocolate in the evening is when you follow it with an antacid chaser;

• You refer to staying up until 11pm as “having a really late night”;

• You’ve traded your birth control container for an AM/PM pillbox;

• The word “comfortable” has passed your lips when referring to shoes (gasp!);

• Your bad hair days are not just bad, but BAAADDD!!!!
