On Aging

Four alarming and hilarious things have occurred in the short span of a few days that have sealed the deal that I am no longer a spring chicken:

1. I did a somersault for the first time in awhile and almost threw up I was so dizzy and nauseous .

2. Upon trying to get dressed one morning this EXACT thought came across my mind, "I really need more elastic pants."

3. The NEXT day, I purchased a PURPLE sweatsuit (now to my defense, it's "heather" purple and it was the only color left in my size and it's Eddie Bauer brand and they're REALLY comfortable...justified yet? I hope so because I would like three more pair.)

4. My older sister, whom I am like in many ways, has joined my parents in forsaking all family heritage and Christmas spirit for the ease of an ARTIFICIAL tree. This is where I'm headed people.

  1. Seriously dear young sis, after 20 years of pulling lights off of a 10 foot tree, you'd be ALL good with a beautiful and free 9 foot prelit tree! :):) I bought a pine candle that complements the scene nicely.;)robin

  3. Hi auntie Beth! This is your niece, Hannah. I have read your whole blog and I think it is really good. I especially love when you wrote that mom finally got into the family tradition of getting an artificial tree, and that is where you were headed. That made me litterally rofl! I hope to see more stuff! See you at Thanksgiving! :)

  4. Friend next time I see you I want to see you do a somersault IN the purple sweatsuit. You better believe I am clicking over to Eddie Bauer asap. I love me some elastic.
