Since I last talked to y'all, my younger sister graduated from college, I finally got promoted at my job from temp to full time (which becomes official as of May 23rd, which also happens to be the 30th anniversary of my parent's wedding...) and I FINALLY went grocery shopping.
Also, yesterday marks eleven months for my Johnny and me, and we are now below the four month mark for the wedding! Which means I need to get crackin'...
All of this makes me feel super old. It doesn't help that today one of my Facebook friends posted the link to a blog that posted 40 Things That Will Make You Feel Old. Things like Clarissa is 35 now, the Pepsi girl is 19, all 18 year olds were born in 1993, Tommy and the Rugrats are all in their 20s by now, and there hasn't been a new Goosebumps book in 14 years!
Excuse me while I listen to Killer Tofu by The Beets with my good buddy Doug over here...
I also created a Facebook event for my little sister's Bachelorette Party next weekend. Then the weekend after that she gets married. MARRIED. Next thing you know we'll all be 50 and our kids will talk about the good ole days when the iPhone was in and how much better it is to just have a chip implanted under your skin so you can communicate with people and a first date is a teleport to watch an old black and white film on the moon.
Or we could go the route of the great Roman Empire and all be thrown back to the dark ages and we'll tell fantastical tales of these amazing inventions called mp3 players while holding up an ancient iPod nano that no longer works and has nearly imploded.
In either case, sometimes I just want to go back to the good old days when I came home from school and watched Saved By The Bell until mom called us for dinner, which we all ate around the dining room table together, before going outside and playing until it was too dark to see. Summer break is an illusion now, since I'm not a teacher, and life is infinitely more complicated.
*sigh*
Nostalgia.
It'll get you every time.
