Notes on being Thirtysomething

This blog goes out to the people that read my blog............all 3 of you.

Today I woke up and I was middle aged.............all of the sudden. Some reasons I feel this way:

Grey hairs are popping up (slowly mind you, but they are surfacing).
My nose hair grows faster than the hair on my head.
Staying home has become the preferred option.
I have seen 2 movies at the theatre in the past yr.
I think a lot about life insurance, 401Ks, private school vs. public school, begonias vs. geraniums, etc.
I have read "Goodnight Moon" over 10 million times.
I get "yes sir'd" by the young punk working the check out line at the grocery store.
The music that I hear on "classic rock stations" isn't classic to me....it's still quite fresh.
I yell at young punks to "SLOW DOWN" when they drive down our street uncautiously.
Studying my family tree is appealing to me.
Studying about WWII is apealing to me.
I am becoming my Dad............which is not a bad thing by the way.
Our wedding photos look very dated.
Craig Fisher's glasses that he wore in college make me giggle out loud when I see a picture of them............man, them critters were big, Fish.
I think I pulled a hamstring mulching my flowerbeds the other day.
