I've had some "Excuse Moi" evidence of getting older these last few days-
My knees have become very accurate barometers of changes in humidity and weather. While the rest of my body enjoys gardening, my knees and lower back do not.
I can't spend two days on an airplane to spend two days in the Midwest for my 30th high school reunion. It's not a question of $$, but a more precious commodity, Time. When I was younger, it was typically the opposite, more time, less dough. Ah, wouldn't a private jet be nice for these little excursions?
My friend just called me to join her for lunch at our community pool and play "Canasta". First of all, what the heck is Canasta? A card game of some sort, right? Like Pinochle, another card game I've never played. People still play cards besides Texas Hold Em?? Next thing you know, I will be getting calls for rides to the Bingo Hall and Early Bird specials.
Any Grown up moments for you lately? Merci Beaucoup. A Bientot. (Talking about my reunion makes me want to practice my high school French. xx)

bon soi, ma cher amie! :) okay thats the extent of my french ... grownup moments... hm... i have had far too many of those lately!!!!
oops.. make that bon soir :)
I can't remember enough high school french to comment. I think maybe "Ou sont les bains?" might be useful, but I don't know if it's correct.
Anyway, my evidence of getting older is the gray hair that keeps bringing itself to my attention. Oh so annoying - and I have more than my 46 and 47 year old sisters combined. Oh, and the wrinkles. Let's not forget the wrinkles...
Hey, I like Canasta. And, I'm not that old.
My old moment? When I got up the other night, after hitting my bed, to put the dishes in the sink, in the dishwasher, because they were bugging me.
Just more disgust with really loud music when I'm trying to sleep and annoyance at young people's immaturity and self-centeredness. Some days after being physically active I FEEL really old. Don't remember that being so bad just a few years ago?
Canasta sounds like something only rich white women play.
30 year reunion? Zoiks.
Pain during gardening doesn't necessarily indicate old age!
I've had one tonight myself! Been basically locked away in a room with the kitties where they don't have things to jump up on - I've been sitting on the floor all night trying to do my blogging stuff (no desk in here but brought my computer in anyway!) - when I stand up my back and knees are killing me, not to mention my insides feel like they've been displaced! Getting old sucks!
Canasta, oh dear! Maybe some shuffleboard afterwards? ;)
all the evidence I've had so far is in my body. Achy knees and tired hands.....
First off-- I just turned 49 and feeling old is a daily occurance lately. Though I will say my knees are in good shape:) I've never attended a HS Reunion and probably never will. HS was not my favorite time of life.
Hey, I actually know what Canasta is! It's fun-- for some reason I hate Texas Hold Em. I know, I'm like the only person ever who doesn't like it. BAHAHAHA However, I can say I've never played Pincochle or Bunco:)
Canasta? That's for 70 year-old retirees in Boca to play!
