Ugh, I've been so neglectful, and I'm so sorry! I've got lots of little things going on, a couple of big things, and major wireless issues (I actually had to--gasp!--connect my laptop to the printer/scanner WITH A CABLE. What on earth is up with that??!) that have been keeping me busy. Then I just happened to stop by Marcy's, and saw this--with my name on it, mind you--and thought... what better way to jump right back into blogging? As usual, Marcy to the rescue!
The Aging Meme
all you have to do is fill in the blanks...
At a certain age women should try not to remember that they are women of a certain age!
At a certain age men should stop combing their hair over--you're not fooling anyone, mister!
When I was a kid I thought I would rule the universe.
Now that I am older I wish I hadn't always wished to be older.
You know you are too old to rock out to Fall Out Boy when your teenager makes fun of you (What? Their songs are catchy!)
You know you are too young to have grey hairs when people look at you like you have five heads when you talk about it
When I was in high school I listened to the music of Alternative: the Cure, the Smiths, Depeche Mode, etc...
Nowadays I find I like the music of "Adult" Alternative. What's up with that name? Geez, nothing like making you feel old...
On my last birthday I was 9 months preggers.
On my next birthday I want to have the cocktail I didn't have last year!
The best birthday present I ever got was my husband--we got married a week after my birthday, so I think of it as a belated gift.
The first time I felt grown up was registering Ashlee for preschool.
The last time I felt like a kid was the last time I jumped on the trampoline.
When I read _________ it changed my life. I don't really have an answer to this one... there are many books I like, many more that I love, but I can't ever say that one of them changed my life. If it did, it couldn't have changed it that much, as I don't remember it!
Last year was a great year.
Next year I hope life continues to get better.

I'm glad I don't have a teenage daughter yet, because I also enjoy rocking out to Fall Out Boy. Zoe likes when I sing along in the car -- at least for now. :-)
Early motherhood seems to be an in-between phase. I work at a college and I always feel like I'm young enough to relate to "the kids" but I can barely handle facebook!
