It seems like I’ve been talking about age a lot lately. Why is that? I guess it’s because there are a lot of birthdays in our family during the summer. Plus there was that not so charming “elderly” comment from Bill.
Speaking of Bill – he turned 65 last week. He’s not happy about it. I think it was the whole Medicare thing that really freaked him out! But age is just a number. Right.
I read an article not too long ago that said the thing men fear most about getting older is losing their physical abilities. You know, they can’t lift that car off the ground anymore. And it takes them longer to get things done. I can see that that is starting to bug Bill. He needs help with things he didn’t use to. I hope he settles down soon.
Then there was Mom’s birthday last month. And we were talking about my brother’s birthday next year. He’ll be 50 next year. I remember when Mom turned 50. We had a surprise party for her in Las Vegas. I thought she was kinda old. My Mom is 50?!?! Wow! A half a century! Geez! Remember when your parents turned 50? Didn’t you think they were SO OLD?! But when I turned 50, I didn’t think I was old at all! Hahahahahahaha.
Funny things have been popping up though, that make me realize MY age. One of my bosses, my age, walked through the other day singing “Walk This Way”. One of the woman who works in our office said, “hahaha, you know a Run DMC song” The boss and I started laughing! It’s not a Run DMC song, it’s an Aerosmith song! She so much younger though, she thought Run DMC did the song originally. Good grief. Then, the other day I was working on some travel arrangements for the CFO and I needed his date of birth. He was born in 1977. OMG! That’s the year I graduated High School! Ugh.
I’ve also started to notice that sometimes when I look in my closet, I see clothes that a ‘mature’ woman would wear. I’m going shopping right away!!!
