Thirty's the New Fifty: Am I Aging Prematurely?
It's Friday night and I'm so excited that the weekend is here so I can watch my DVR'd television shows, catch up on work from home, and squeeze in a couple of gym classes. Yawn. This state of affairs, along with a couple of other recent developments, point to the fact that I'm evolving into a senior citizen.1) My grandma got me a kitten (pictured right). Although Grady is such a fun character and companion, I am now that retired schoolteacher lady with the cat. Not good.
2) I was recently featured in Teen Voices, a publication written by high school girls, and in reading over the interview, I realized what a fuddy duddy I sound like! Click the link and see for yourself:
Have you had any "I'm not a kid anymore" moments as of late? Please commiserate.

I just started culinary school and when I walked into my first class, I was by far the oldest one there. All the rest looked like they just walked out of high school.
Worry not Rache, I got one for you. The Mrs and I went to see Jamie Foxx last night for a rare date out of the house. Why were both of us nodding off halfway through the show?! And it was only like 10p!!! I guess I'll start going gray next...
I think that reality sunk in for me (and my sisters) when I started putting "Golden Girls" and "Murder She Wrote" dvd's on my xmas list (that started maybe like five years ago).
I now:
-own a Snuggli, that I enjoy wearing around the house in the winter
-wear housecoats in the warmer weather
-can't remember the last time I wore high heel shoes
And the list goes on. So, I concur: 30 is definitely the new 50

You might be aging prematurely, but if you are you are NOT alone. I recently went out with a guy much younger than me and realized I was in trouble when I caught myself talking about how much I like to read at home with my two cats. Yikes.

When I was getting on the train in midtown, a young high school girl said, "Move Mister, dang!" Ouch...

you are hysterical. I hear you there barking big dog... its the Only reason I Refuse to get a cat. then it's official- otherwise I'd be living with sushi or tin-tin in my perfect little cottage in the hills, happy in my cardigan sweater and cup of tea.

Ok, there are just TOO many things that make me old... a defining moment was this year's Christmas list which includes a new vacuum, a food processor, and Janet Jackson's #1s album that's coming out.
PS I also own a snuggie. It's the best thing EVER!
