More and more, I feel like I'm getting old. Want to know why?

You Know You Are Getting Old When . . .
1. People consistently call you "Ma'am." I know it's supposed to be respectful, but they might as well just call me Granny and be done with it.
2. You own a Lexus. This fact is only underscored when you don't even know how to use it.
3. You not only own, but use a pill organizer. (Ok so this has more to do with the RA than the age, but it still makes me feel like I'm about a gazillion years old.)
4. The "attorneys" who come to interview for jobs in your office look much closer in age to your younger brothers than you. Really. I suppose this could be because they actually are closer in age, but I prefer to just think that they are all child prodigies. Clearly it can't be that I'm just not so young anymore. . .
5. People you have known since you were about 10 now hire you and pay a ludicrous amount of money for your "expertise."
6. Staying up "late" means any time after 10 p.m. (God, I really am pathetic and OLD! But I'm also tired.) I figure that my cats sleep about 16 hours a day. I'm just trying to keep up.
7. "Sleeping in" means, at the latest, 8 a.m. Have to get up to take those pills after all!
8. People from your high school class now play parents on the hip new shows like "the OC". Granted, the "kids" look quite mature for their alleged ages, but still parents??
9. Just about everyone your age has kids. (Hmm, I wonder if this could explain the OC phenomenon? Never!)
10. You finished law school nearly a decade ago! How in the world did that happen? I swear I just graduated. . .

But I suppose it is not all bad. . .

Things That Are Cool About Being a Grown Up
1. You own a Lexus. And get to have the pleasure of figuring out how to work the automatic lights and windshield wipers.
2. People you have known since you were about 10 now hire you and pay a ludicrous amount of money for your "expertise."
3. People from your high school class are on hip new shows like "the OC".
4. You no longer look as young and clueless as the young "attorneys" who come to interview for jobs in your office.
5. You can get up and go to bed whenever you darn well please. So there.
6. Law school is becoming just a distant memory . . . (or maybe my memory is just beginning to fail.)

That's all I can think of for now, but feel free to chime in. Meanwhile, I need to use my walker to get to the kitchen so I can make some noise . . .
