More Observations on Growing Older

~It's harder to tell navy from black.

~Everything old is new again. But if you wore it before, you're too old to wear it the second time around.

~Your kids are becoming you...and you don't like them..but your grandchildren are perfect.

~Yellow becomes the big color...walls...hair...teeth.

~When people say you look "Great"...they add "for your age".

~You forget names...but it's OK because other people forgot they even knew you.

~The last two outfits you wore had spots on them.

~You ask your husband or friend how your outfit looks, and they tell you the truth.

~The 5 pounds you wanted to lose is now 15, and you have a better chance of losing your keys than the 15 pounds.

~You realize you're never going to be really good at anything...especially golf.

~Your husband sleeps better on a lounge chair with the TV blaring then he does in bed. It's called his "pre-sleep."

~Remember when your mother said, "Wear clean underwear in case you GET in an accident"? Now you bring clean underwear in case you HAVE an accident.

~You used to say, "I hope my kids GET married. Now it's " I hope they STAY married"

~The best place to have a conversation with your husband is in the bathroom...you have his full attention.

-Who wants to wear 3" heels anyway?

-You miss the days when everything worked with just an "ON" and "OFF" switch.

~You use more 4 letter words..."what?"..."when?"

~Now that you can afford expensive jewelry, it's not safe to wear it anywhere.

~Your husband has a night out with the guys but he's home by 9:00 P.M...next week it will be 8:30 P.M.

~You read 100 pages into a book before you realize you've read it.

~Notice everything they sell in stores is "sleeveless?"

~Many of the people in People Magazine you've never heard of.

~Your concealer doesn't conceal.

~Your lipstick bleeds.

~Your mascara clumps and your eyebrows are disappearing.

~You don't have hair under your arms and very little on your legs, but your chin needs to be plucked daily.

~What used to be freckles are now liver spots.

~Everybody whispers.

~Now that your husband has retired ... you'd give anything if he'd find a job.

-You have three sizes of clothes in your closet.... two of which you will never wear.

~~~~But old is good in some things:...old songs...old movies And best of all OLD FRIENDS.

Hubby's work sweaters are plum coloured,  I don't check them anymore just rub over the front of them with the green soap (he had a tummy extension years ago too)  ;D ;D ;D

My OH remembers the time he walked into the pub and the barman had his pint ready on the counter - now he walks into the chemist and the pharmacist has the prescription ready
