ways that i am turning into an elderly person... (no offense, Grandma)

1. I go to bed at 10pm (at the very latest!) every night.
2. On the rare mornings that I can sleep in, I wake up around 7:30 am.
3. I am making a quilt.
4. I wear flannel onesie pajamas to bed most nights.
5. I eat oatmeal for breakfast each morning.
6. I eat ginger cookies at some point of every day.
7. I haven't been able to hike a lot lately because my knees have been bothering me.
8. I get really excited about things like making banana bread.
9. I get really excited about things like going to the library.
10. I get really excited about things like organizing my trunk of things from the "old" days.
11. I have started telling guests to dry their hair before they leave to go ski  (I wouldn't want them to catch a cold)
12. I wear supportive slippers all day, every day.
13. I have started watching (and enjoying) daytime television.
14. My only friend in Taos is currently crocheting a blanket, sitting on the couch next to me while I am quilting, and we are both watching daytime television.


Its actually a pretty good life (minus the achey knees).

  1. haha! Sounds wonderful. Minus the cold part. I'm headed to a constant warm climate where I'll be an old lady too... always in bed by 10:30. Yeah and uh, I wish I had the patience to make a quilt!

  2. You are so funny! I especially like #11. But really, you are just way ahead of the game. You know already that the best things don't usually involve moving, going, accumulating. Quilting can become addictive you know. Until your eyes go bad...
