A few things that make me feel old.
1. The fact that Ritz crackers is running a commercial with one of my bestest, favoritist, ever songs from my senior year in highschool, “Melt With You”, Modern English.
2. Seeing REM singing songs with the puppets on Sesame Street.
3. The life guard at the pool this summer, the one I think I don’t look much older than, calling me “mam”.
4. Realizing that life guard I didn’t think I looked that much older than is half my age.
5. Our children telling me they like those old songs from the 80s.
6. Driving a stinking mini van, and being grateful for it.
7. My daughter asking me if I was pretty when I was young.
8. Not being able to comfortably wear jeans from Old Navy.
9. Not being able to comfortably wear jeans from anywhere.
10. Seeing my mother’s face in the mirror, and my face in my daughter’s.
11. Absolutely, positively, having to have coffee each and every morning.
12. Finding this blog the most excitement I’ve had in a long time.
