How I know I'm getting older

Little things have been hitting me lately in regard to getting older. I'm starting to come to grips with it, but it is a big reality check because emotionally, I still feel like I'm 19. Physically is another issue altogether.

Started thinking to myself about all the little things that point to the fact that I'm getting older, not old you notice, but simply older.

1. The Chuck E. Cheese gang is singing hits from my era, i.e. Lady by the Commodores and What I Like About You by the Romantics (a band which my friend and I worked hard to get back stage to see when we were 14).
2. My first car is now a classic car and it wasn't that old back then.
3. Sagging attributes.
4. Grey hairs.
5. One of my favorite bands has songs in my children's movies (Aerosmith is in Polar Express and Rugrats Gone Wild).
6. Disney is remaking movies from my childhood and my children have no clues that their remakes, i.e. Herbie. I'm waiting for a remake of Benji any day now.
7. I listen to the oldies stations and classic rock and know all the words from my youth.
8. I have to get 8 or 9 hours of sleep or I'm zoned out all day.
9. NFL players are younger than me.
10. So are some of my doctors and I want to call the doctors Doogie Houser.
11. I have dishes older than the girls in Playboy.
12. Friends I went to school with have children in high school and some have grandchildren.
13. I have started thinking my mom and dad were right about some of their parenting skills.
14. I look at trendy fashions and think about how trashy they look and how MY children won't dress like that.
15. I now think the goth look is stupid. So, is putting wild colors in your hair. (I had pink hair in high school, not all of it, but some of it.)
16. I look at cheerleaders and remember when I used to look like that before children.
17. Knowing my 20th high school reunion is next year and helping plan it.
18. I spend more money on Darth Vader light-up sneakers, tennis lessons, t-ball and backpacks than I do on make-up, sexy clothes and shoes for me.
19. I get a headache when I try to read Teen magazine at the salon.
20. I say things like 'I weep for our future' like the dorky maitre'd in Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
21. I saw Ferris Bueller's Day Off when it first came out.
22. I saw Star Wars - the original three - at the movies.
23. I don't get the new Star Wars movies very much.
24. Instead of talking about getting our nails done, my friends now talk about the "work" we're getting done.
25. The attention I get at LaBare isn't for being a little hottie, but for the stack of $1s we put on the table.

27. I don't want to see horror movies any more.
28. I remember the REAL Batman.
29. I remember getting my first record player and album, my first cassette player and cassette and my first CD player and CD.

31. I miss Mtv in its original state.
32. Sigmund and the Sea Monsters.
33. I made it through college witout a computer.
34. I was a reporter before we had the Internet and I had to work harder for stories.
