Thoughts On Aging

You know you are getting older when:

Instead of popping some little pill to get high, your drug of choice is a blue pill called Gas X;

Staying up late no longer means 2am...it now means 10:30;

The thrill of trying a trendy color of eye shadow has been replaced with wrinkle-diminishing hopes for L'Oreal's new night-time cream;

Driving on a sunny day is overshadowed by all the hairs on your chin the blinding light has exposed in your driver-side vanity mirror;

Crest Whitening toothpaste has been replaced with Sensodyne;

Instead of praying that your period arrives, you are now praying that it will finally stop showing up;

Waking up early no longer means 7am. It now means waking at 2am, tossing and turning until falling back asleep right before the alarm sounds;

A memorable evening no longer means Friday night at the bar but instead a classic movie, tacos, and snuggling with your beau (or your dog);

When recapping the above classic movie to co-workers, they appear glassy-eyed and confused when you mention words like "Watergate", "Warren Beatty", or "Sally Field";

And finally, you can now truly relate to the phrase "Youth is wasted on the young."
