You Know You're Getting Old When..., Part II

Last night, Mark and I were talking at the dinner table when I realized that our conversation sounded, well, old! After I pointed out the fact that our conversation was boring, we started laughing and we began to recite items to add to my blog, "You Know You're Old When...)



1. You don't know who Muse is.  I told Mark that his friends went to a Muse concert in Vegas last weekend and he asked me who in the world Muse was! I was shocked he had no idea. I actually had to pull them up on YouTube!

2. You keep hearing about something called the Harlem Shake and you still have no idea what it is!

3. You just don't get this Nicki Minaj (for the record, I had to look up how to spell her name) fad. In fact, you (meaning, me) have to turn the radio down every time she comes on the radio because her nasally rapping hurts your (my) ears.

4. You now listen to talk radio. I told Mark that this does't totally apply to him yet because his version of talk radio is the Howard Stern channel. When he actually starts to listen to AM, I'll be worried.

5. Your conversations with your friends now revolve around potty training, private mortgage insurance,  food, and body ailments instead of alcohol, which club you went out to and how long your hangover was.

6. You start getting "old lady" magazines in the mail! I now get clothing magazines from companies that I have never heard of before, the pages of which, consist of what can only be described as mu mu's!

7. You begin to find grey hairs. Okay, so this doesn't apply to everyone because I know people who began to go grey in their early twenties. I however, have began to find random grey hairs with increasing frequency. I fear that much money will be spent getting my hair dyed in the future! Although, I'm still holding out hope that the recent grey is a result from wacky pregnancy hormones rather than age :)

8. You watch Extreme Couponing and get really pumped up to cut coupons only to realize that it is too much work to both find the coupons and then figure out how the whole thing actually works.

9. You have to pee several times a night and you are NOT pregnant!

10. You begin to end each evening with a comment about wanting a "tasty treat" and again, you are NOT pregnant!


I think that's all for now! I'm sure the list will continue to grow :)
