Older

So that's it... I'm definately getting older.
evidence:
*all the new actors/actresses seem ridicously young especially since most of them are younger then my sister... It seems strange to think a boy who is barely old enough to drink legally is cute... but at least they were still born during my decade
*can't party like rockstar anymore. Partied on Friday, still feeling the effects Monday. I will concede however that I haven't quite gotten the proper sleep or nutrition since, but that never made a difference before (before I got old that is)
*fat. Even the doctor said that I'd not be able to take off or keep off the weight like I used because I'm now getting "older" (his words). Goddamnit!
*Kids. I have 'em. Three. And they are getting past all baby stages and I can't even believe that the pictures from 2-3 years ago are of my kids!
*Everyone I grew up with/went to school with is acting like an adult- not just jobs but careers, marriages, kids, and a secure sense of self!
*My age is no longer extremely young to everyone I know... perhaps young, but not embarrsingly so.
*oh yeah, I only get ID'd 1/3 of the time when I purchase alcohol... and it seems to be more of customary practice opposed to the old "no way are you old enough to be legal" (to drink that is folks!)
*I swear to you all I'm getting wrinkles. It's probably from the life of sun (I still don't wear sunscreen very often), drinking (a tradeoff), and just getting older. And in case anyone is objecting in their head- I don't see anyone else staring in my face from a 2 inch distance nor plucking my eyebrows so you wouldn't know until you get in one of those situations!
*I am doing too much... looking forward to that midlife crisis and burnout... I know it's coming but somehow I can't stop.

And I think that'sall the evidence I can think of right now. The last 2 years have probably been the best ages yet of my youth so I'll now be entering the next "middle" period of my life... I'll see you there- I'll be the hungover, fat wrinkly woman ;D
