For me, the following are telltale signs that I am getting older:
Today, my breakfast consisted of oatmeal, a hard boiled egg, and hot tea.
*Please note, before a few weeks ago, I would not have touched oatmeal with a 10-foot pole. And I have never cared for tea (much less hot tea), until about a year ago.
I asked my mom and dad for a Shark steam mop/vac for Christmas, and it throughly excites me. I love that thing!
*This may be due to me being an OCD clean freak rather than getting older.
I quite often listen to NPR on my commute to and from work.
*It's either that or my ipod, and occasionally I just enjoy total silence.
Sometimes I choose not to go to certain restaurants because they are too loud.
*Yeah, yeah - Just call me granny and tell me to turn my hearing aides down. No really, the louder the restaurant, the more I have to repeat myself when sitting across the table talking to Tom. He has the hearing of an 80 year old man.
I have actually caught myself saying the phrase, "Kids these days."
*Who am I, my father? (He actually says that.)
The songs that I listened to on Magic 104.1 (the adult contemporary radio station) as a child while riding around in the car with my parents are now on KOMA (the oldies radio station).
*For example, KOMA was playing Don Henley's "Boys of Summer" from 1984 the other day. How is an 80's song considered oldies?? I think they're jumping the gun a bit.
What do you catch yourself saying/doing that makes you feel like you're getting older??
