Observations of a Certain Age . . .

As I get older I realize:

1. I talk to myself, because sometimes I need expert advice.

2. Sometimes I roll my eyes outloud.

3. I don’t need anger management; I need people to stop pissing me off.

4. My people skills are just fine. It’s my tolerance of idiots that needs work.

5. The biggest lie I tell myself is: “I don’t need to write that down, I’ll remember it.”

6. When I was a child, I thought naptime was punishment. Now it’s like a mini-vacation.

7. The day the world runs out of wine is just too terrible to think about.

8. Even duct tape can’t fix stupid—but it can muffle the sound.

9. Wouldn’t it be great if we could put ourselves in the dryer for 10 minutes—come out wrinkle-free and three sizes smaller?

10. “Getting Lucky” means walking into a room and remembering why I’m there
