Reasons I'm Getting Old....

I don't know why, but I've found little things in life lately that have changed from when I was a kid, and this makes me feel like I'm not a young buck anymore.  I know, I know - being 27 is not old to a lot of people.  Let me explain why I've been feeling a little older lately:

1. My 10 Year high school reunion is next year.
2. When I was in high school, if we wanted to communicate with someone while in class, we hand wrote notes.  Not only did we write notes, we spelled our words in it's entirety.  None of this "lol, rofl, u, c, 2 stuff". Now, everyone in high school has phones and text message.
3.  As a kid, I would play outside for entertainment.  When stuck inside, I had this awesomeness to keep me company:
Now kids have this:
4.  The highlight of my weekends were TGIF shows:  Full House, Family Matters, and Step by Step.  Now, I have NO clue what kids and teenagers watch, but they can't be half as good as the TGIF line up.
5. I actually care about the weather.  I used to go outside in a t shirt even if it was 40 degrees because I really just didn't care.  I'd constantly have my mother yelling at me "Put a jacket on or you're going to catch a cold!".  I now tell her all the time you actually can't "catch a cold" just by being in cold weather, but her words must of finally gotten to me.  It was 70 outside today and I found myself putting on a fleece.  Whattttt??
6.  I can't eat whatever I want, whenever I want anymore.  This makes me sad.
7. When I come home from a long day of standing on my feet, I go straight to the foot massager.  In high school, I could go to school for 7 hours, play 3 hours of soccer, come home to dinner and homework, and still find energy to want to do something that night.  
8. PJ's are on by 8pm most nights and a fun Saturday night to me is a nice dinner and a snuggly movie with Ryan and Zoe.  5 years ago my night wasn't fun unless there was dancing, drinking, and/or boys involved.  
9. I like to eat vegetables.  Not only this, but I voluntarily take a daily vitamin.
10.  I'm spending my spare time creating a Top 10 as to why I feel old = I'm an old fart.
