• Everything old is new again, but if you wore it before, you're too old to wear it the 2nd time around
• Your kids are becoming you...and you don't like them!...but your grandchildren are perfect!
• Yellow becomes the big color... Walls, teeth, (blonder) hair
• Going out is good, coming home is better
• When people say you look "Great" they add "for your age"
• When you needed the discount you paid full price.. Now you get discounts on everything... Movies, hotels, flights.
• You forget names but it's OK because other people forgot they even knew you.
• The last 2 outfits you wore had spots on them.
• You ask your husband or friend how your outfit looks and they tell you the truth
• The five 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 is counting on you to remember things you don't remember.
• The things you cared to do, you don't care to do but you care that you don't care to do them anymore.
• 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 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 remember when GOOGLE, iPod, email, modem were unheard of and a mouse was something that made you climb on a table.
• 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 already.
• Notice everything they sell in stores is "sleeveless"?
• 30 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.
• What used to be freckles are now liver spots.
• Everybody whispers.
• You have 3 sizes of clothes in your closet, 2 of which you  will never wear.
• Now that your husband has retired you'd give anything if he'd find a job!

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