I have always looked young for my “age.” Thank God! Now that I’m 52, it’s a blessing. I’m certainly old enough to have changed your diaper. :)))

Aging is so strange! I am 42 but with a three year old and plans on another one my life feels more like 32. What freaks me out is when I look in the mirror. It’s not so bad now but I’m sure when i’m 52 I will just take down all the mirrors so they don’t challenge my spirit that will be a sweet 35!

Ah, I can so relate. I live in a Big Ten university town and I hear comments such as this often. The thing is, though I am 36, I still feel like I should only be about 21. Sometimes I forget that I am about to get in my mini-van with my three kids and ride off into the sunset when I hear other students chatting about what they are doing that evening, etc. because what they are planning sounds fun. Truthfully though? I would probably make it until about 2 a.m. at the latest before I fell asleep on the table while a game of quarters was in session.

Visiting from {W}rite of Passage – love your blog! What a great design!

No, 40 is the new 20 – so you’re just a baby ;).

That being said, I found turning 30 a lot harder than turning 40. I’m bracing myself for middle age – 45 is just around the corner.

And I still cannot handle “ma’am”.

Hmm. I’m more dismayed when no one registers surprise at my age. Well, they don’t when my hair is pulled back and you see my gray. They look at me with skepticism when my hair is down and the gray is hidden. It’s all about the hair!

Dude, I know where you’re coming from. I’ll be 32 in just a few weeks, and nearly kissed a very young girl at a New Year’s Eve party for saying, “Ohmigod! I like, totally thought you were like 26!”

I just didn’t want to have to register as a sex offender.

Oh, pooh! You and your 30. My nearly 34 would like to roll back the clock 4 years. Yes, 30 is the new 20 and sometimes I wonder if this is true only to those of us in our thirties.

I’m 33, but I don’t feel 33. More like 23. So when I am addressed in the way a 17 year old cashier should address a 33 year old adult….it just feels weird.

My birthday was also in September and while I loved turning 30 I did not like the age I turned last year. I have officially become a “thirtysomething” and will stay that way until I celebrate the big 4-0. After that birthday I will become a “fortysomething”. And, so on and so on.

I hate when I hear “wow, you look so much younger than your AGE”. Like thirtysomething is SO OLD. It grates on my nerves and I want to rip that person’s eyes out of their head so that they can never visualize someone’s age again.

But, this is my year of silver linings, glass half full and lemonade. So, I am taking their salted compliment and saying “Thank you … you look old for yours!”

Happy belated!

Wait until you’re like me and some prune-faced wench at the grocery keeps asking you if you want the friggin’ senior discount. 50 is the new Stabby. Fair warning…

Girl, you got it going on. And 30 is totally the new 20. Which is really good because that means 40 is the new 30… and it’s breathing down my neck.
