Signs You're Getting Old(er)

- Ten o'clock rolls around and you start thinking "now may be a good time to turn in..."
- While you still eat McDonalds you think "this is SO. BAD. For me." And then start planning out meals for the next three days because you're just a little worried about things like blood pressure. (Although it doesn't make you enjoy your McChicken and caramel sundae any less! Because? They are delicious. Mmm...caramel sundae.)
- Your idea of a great night no longer involves a bottle of rum, loud music, four inch heels and four of your loudest, closest friends. Instead it includes American Idol, a couch, blue jeans and my boyfriend or roommate.
- The people you're surrounded by are not only real, live grown-ups with marriages, but some are talking about mortgages. And retirement plans. And having babies. And some? Are having babies.
- If out with friends, as the music booms and the lights dazzle in bright colored patterns--while having a good time, really!--a thought pops up along the lines of "hmmm...I really should go home and clean my room." Not that that has happened to me. Really.

Signs You're Not That Old
- You still indulge in McDonalds every once in a while, despite the calories and grease because let's face it--those fries are so damn good.
- You vote for contestants on Idol. And you care about who gets voted off. Because Sanjaya cannot stay on that much longer, dammit!
- While you may think about cleaning your room while out on the town, the fact remains that it's still messy. Really, really ridiculously messy. That doesn't happen to adults. Right?
- The thought of having a child scares the shit out of you. A baby? What? That means no more sleeping in and buying diapers instead of DVD box sets. Ack!
- While planning a business trip to Florida the top thing on your list isn't making contacts or learning all you can about your company. Instead it's all about meeting Mickey Mouse and getting to Disney World. Orlando, people! I'm going to be in Orlando! I can't NOT go to Disney World when I'm going to be, like, ten minutes from the land of happy Disney things! Whee!

Ciao, dahling!
