Besides wrinkles, mortgage payments, a slower metobolism and an earlier bed time, there are some surefire signs you're growing old...
1. Saturday morning hangovers sound worse than your annual trip to the gyno.

2. Instead of a cordless phone and the framed photo of your boyfriend you kiss goodnight every time you go to bed being on your nightstand, a few tubes of lip balm, the biggest jar of Tums you can find and a flashlight reside there.
3. Because of #1, your idea of a wild Friday night is dinner at Chipotle and furniture shopping at Dillard's followed by a evening of trashy reality TV and a nail painting marathon. Oh-and pinning. (God forbid, don't forget about the pinning!)
4. Speaking of pinning...Pinterest AND Instagram weren't "around" when you got married.
5. Sunday afternoon grocery store hauls and a complete meal plan for the week make for a completely productive Sunday afternoon.
6. You specifically go out of your way to make sure any form of an alarm clock is turned off on Saturday and Sundays yet you wake up at the ass-crack of dawn anyways.

7. Your mother isn't there to yell at you to clean your room and your bathroom yet you do it anyway.
(Some may call this "stuck in their ways". I like to call it "structure".)
9. Your greatest accomplishment of the week is a tidy kitchen, a vacuumed floor & empty laundry baskets. (You also follow this by posting your success all over every social media platform. #guilty)
10. Conversations regarding cars, homes, careers and the weather are normal.(No more "Dude. Where's my car?" or "I did WHHAAA with WHOOO last night!?")

11. Crock pot meals are a delicacy.
12. You fully believe naptime should be a requirement at work and will do anything in your power to get this new law to pass. (Uncle Si said it best... "Work hard. Nap hard." #duckdynasty)
13. The whole "ready to have a baby" age is sneaking up on you
and yet you're still telling people "Two more years!"

14. You know the entire cast of Real World Season 1.
15. ...and The Bachelorette...all 8 seasons.
If you nodded your head to more than 1 of the 12 options, you, my friend, are getting old. ;)
I need coffee... I read "lubes" on your nightstand. My bad.

ReplyDeleteLOVE this post!! Hubby & I went tailgating and drank all day Saturday...we wasted all day Sunday recovering. And all we kept saying, "We're getting so old." Haha.
