Fan or copycat. You decide. "Things I am Too Old For"

Because I've never had an original thought, I blatantly stole the idea AND some of the answers for this post from my friend Tiburon (Yes, that is her real name and it means "shark" in Spanish. No her parents weren't hippies, although they did live in San Fran, and yes they do love her.) and she apparently stole the idea from someone else. But, as they say imitation is a form of flattery and I copy because I love. Without further adieu...

Things I am Too Old For
Sleeping on the floor
Wearing a swimsuit without shorts or a skirt
Passing for a 20-something
Blue eyeliner
Sleeping past 9 am
Staying up past midnight
Saying "dude" or "sucks"
Not washing my face before bed
Borrowing money from my folks
Wearing a backpack unless I'm hiking
Eating cereal more than once a day
Going braless
Going clubbing
Eating pizza more than once a day
Borrowing clothes from a friend, a sister is okay
Wear anything with writing on the butt
Not wearing sunblock
Playlands
Eating Taco Bell more than once a day
Hanging posters in my room
Keeping up with the Joneses (I am the Joneses)
Baby weight, now it's just plain old weight
Biting my nails
Not to floss
Glitter
Miniskirts
Macaroni and Cheese
Ramen
Soda with sugar
Orange soda
MTV

Journal entry of an aging housewife

Dear Diary,
Who am I kidding? I never kept a diary. I kept a journal (Is there a difference?). A faithful one at that, from the age of thirteen until I was married. I quit there. My quest for love ended, so I guess I felt there wasn't anything else worth reporting.
My journal is embarrassing to read, now. Just page after page of one toad after another. (Don't get all offended my former-toad stalkers, I wasn't anyone worth having until Secret Agent Man came along, either. I'm sure you all became the perfect mate for your spouses,too. Well, not all of you. I can think of a couple of you that are most likely still toads. You know who you are.)
Then, the kids came and I discovered scrapbooking as a way to keep the family history and keep my sanity. But, all the paper and scissors and mess that comes with scrapbooking took over my kitchen table and I opted to feed my family instead of document them.
Then along came the Internets. Oh Lawd, thank you and thank Father Al. I love my blog, Facebook and Twitter (Hugs and kisses all ya'alls!).
Today, is my birthday. I have a life that celebrities wish for. A faithful and adoring husband, cute kids, including twins, (They all want twins. JLo, I had them first.) great friends and a little writing career that helps me keep my perspective on life; especially the things in life that seem never-ending like: dirty dishes, laundry, dog hair, pimples and wrinkles on the same face, devotion to good causes, loyalty to friends and above all... love of God and Family.
Happy Birthday to Me.

What a way to start a New Year!


It's our family tradition to go sledding on Jan. 1. My sister has a "private and exclusive" sledding hill behind her neighborhood. Conditions couldn't have been more excellent for a fun snow day.
Clickety here to see the video of our sledding party!
