Observations on Growing Older
~It’s harder to tell
navy from black!
~Everything old is new again, but if you wore it before, you’re too old to
wear it the 2nd time around!
~Your kids are becoming you… And you don’t like them…..but your
grandchildren are perfect!
~Yellow becomes the big color…walls…hair…teeth!
~Going out is good. Coming home is better!
~When people say you look "Great"…they add "for your
age"!
~You forget names…but it’s OK because other people forgot they even knew
you.
~The last 2 outfits you wore had spots on them.
~You ask your husband/wife or friend how your outfit looks and they
tell you the truth!
~The five pounds you wanted to lose is now 15 and you have a better chance of
losing your keys than the 15 pounds.
~Your husband/wife is counting on you to remember things you don’t remember.
~The things you cared to do, you don’t care to do, but you care that you
don’t care to do them anymore.
~Your husband/wife sleeps better on a lounge chair with the TV blaring then
he/she does in bed. It’s called his "pre-sleep"
~You used to say, "I hope my kids GET married.. Now, " I hope they
STAY married!"
~The best place to have a conversation with your husband /wife is in the bathroom…you
have his/her full attention.
~Who wants to wear 3" heels anyway?
~You miss the days when everything worked with just an "ON" and
"OFF" switch.
~You use more 4 letter words…"what?"…"when?" ???
~You read 100 pages
into a book before you realize you’ve read it.
~Notice everything they sell in stores is "sleeveless"?
~Many of the people in People Magazine you’ve never heard of.
~Your concealer doesn’t conceal.
~Your lipstick bleeds.
~Your mascara clumps and your eyebrows are disappearing.
~You don’t have hair under your arms and very little on your legs but your
chin needs to be plucked daily!
~What used to be freckles are now liver spots.
~Everybody whispers.
~You have 3 sizes of clothes in your closet….2 of which you will never
wear.
~~~~But old is good in some things:…old songs…old movies,
And best of all, OLD
FRIENDS!

Some things get better with age, especially our wisdom 🙂
Oh dea,r I can see myself in a lot of them and hubby too. My favorite part is the old friends. The pre-sleep, oh that is so my husband and well me too at times especially after a good supper and sitting with my cup of tea, sometimes before the tea is gone, I am in that state. Hope you are having a great day hun………………Rusty ((HUGS))Cuddles for the Boss.
