Top Ten Reasons Why I Am Really Very Very Old


1. I have lately fallen in love with wheat germ.
2. There are now so many white hairs growing from my head that I cannot pull them all out without making a small bald spot.
3. Going to bed before 9:30 p.m. and waking before 6:00 a.m. sounds really, really good.
4. The only magazine gracing the back of my toilet is the Ensign.
5. My favorite "late night" shows to watch on TV are the BBC world news followed by Perry Mason.
6. During the last few weeks I have craved and sought out oatmeal raisin cookies (I know, scary!).
7. The last three books I have read have been biographies.
8. I have noticed myself thinking lately "these commercials are so loud."
9. For Christmas, all I wanted was "happy children, etc."
10. I find myself trying to come up with some type of casserole, soup, etc that contains most of the leftovers in the refrigerator.

It's time to bring sexy back. I wonder if it's too late.
