Time marches on and you either get used to it, or you lie to yourself about it. I only feel old in the mornings when I don’t want to get out of bed. Then again, I didn’t want to get up when I was younger… At any rate, you are only as old as you feel like being, or acting. I shall remain an eternal 15 year old!

Why are we always in such a hurry to do that? We should just take life as it comes and leave plenty of time for fun things … like twirling. 🙂

That takes me back. I have a 2, 12 and 13 year old at home and they help keep me young and goofy. My youngest loves to dance, so I get to hear “Come dance with me Mommy!” a lot.
That helps, so does football and volleyball with the other ones.
They won’t twirl with me anymore.

Now I’m hungry! I may have to stop at Sonic on the way to work. 😈

127 calories is scary! I never ate 8 pieces of pizza either, but I have been known to eat nearly a half gallon of ice cream. 😳

I think we need to remember that as adults, and not be afraid to be silly and goofy and just have fun.

I wouldn’t quite having birthdays just yet. After all, 30 is the new 20, and 40 is the new 30. At least, that’s what they say on TV. 🙂

Getting older does suck, though… I’m only 25 and my hair is already 20% gray! Maybe I should stop having birthdays now…
