I would LOVE this. My friends and I are pre-empting whatever plans our husbands have in mind next year and planning a brunch or something well in advance. No expensive babysitter and adequate sleep!

Or when the experienced actors start looking so old.

When the president is your age.

Film and reruns of shows/news clips from my twenties are so faded and old looking its shocking.

Led Zeppelin is as old as Vaudeville was when Led was new.

P.S. I will be 50 this year and this is all dawning on me. Jeez.

When you are old enough to be the mother of some of the people you work with.

Cellulite on arms when you used to be a toothpick.

Friends start dying of things other than accidents.

Everyother person you used to know back in the day has become an alcoholic because by a certain age life has dealt so many blows and drinking is the only way some people know how to handle it.

You are told by a cute college age man that your perfume is "comforting". lol.

" Mam" . Kiss of death. Also, watching the Oscars and thinking "WTF,who are all these new actors".

PP. I am laughing. I can understand.
The technology thing makes me feel very old.

You get called "mam" by someone who looks close to your own age or when someone offers a seat on the bus ( even after you've run a mad dash to catch it)...or you talk about some old tv show like Leave it to Beaver re-runs and people look at you like you're from Mars (or the old folks home!)

When you tell your kids that when you were growing up you only had 4 channels on TV and there was no such thing as cable! Also that Pong was the first video game and we were blown away by it!!!

When you can't be bothered to figure out Twitter or Tumblr, and your kids think they're lame anyway.

When your daughter's kindergarten teacher's FIL went to school with DH.

Everything is too sweet, and the portions are too large.

They keep sending our 13-year-old son promos for different insurance and investment programs. You're never too young to join, I guess!
