1. At the grocery store I saw FiberPlus Antioxidants cereal, and I caught myself actually thinking, “Hmmm…that’s kind of a good idea.”
2. At another store I saw a pair of really cute shoes in my size ON SALE, and I put them back on the rack because I decided they didn’t look comfortable.
3. I started to write, “It was like trying to climb the Berlin Wall,” as a metaphor for something being difficult, then I realized that no one under 30 has heard of the Berlin Wall, and probably thinks East Germany is a soccer team.
Now if you’ll excuse me I need to go polish my walker.
Wow, that makes me almost old. 😉 I wouldn’t have passed up the shoes. Uncomfortable or not, if they are cute enough and the right price….. Yeah, shoes are a weakness.
Ha! Ha! Ha! So funny, especially as I am another year older this month. I totally relate to your list. I agree with Sarah, though. Go for the shoes. Always go for the cute shoes.
Too funny! Even more funny (or sad) for me, was when the FiberOne Cereal “sample” box was mailed to the house, attention me. Then my husband told ALL the neighbors I was in a new “target market”….Fine, fine…so he’s a whole 2 YEARS YOUNGER…. Thx for the great post. Made my day!
@Evon of http://www.GNsweetheart.com, My husband is two years younger than me too. He feels the need to constantly remind me HOW MUCH younger he is. LOL!
Haha! I find myself doing the same things. It’s weird to think that some people don’t realize Germany was an East and West at one point!
My worst one…
My friend was showing me her ring and I had to move it farther away so I could focus on it. YEA! I am getting Old, but I will never claim I was old.
Make the shoes “Dr. Scholl’s.” I have at least 3 pair.
There is a time somewhere that we seem to get old, without even knowing. I’m not sure how it happened? At least we’re old together!
I’ll admit it…I have started buying my pop tarts in Fiber One form.
Save me a seat at Bingo!
