Hey Robyn! It's Alli! Just thought I would say Hi!!!
great list - all of which indicate that I am old too!
Great list- this is so funny! How sad is it that I am 26 and have already come to the point of so many things you listed? I need to rethink my priorities!
Wow, I turn 33 in Sept and your list is perfect for me too. I'm still in awe (or is it shock) that I'm really going to be 33. How did it all go so fast? Seriously. Great post!
What a fun, creative post. Andy and I got a good laugh about it (mostly because we related to it). Although, he did ask me what crow's feet were. I just had to point to the corners of my eyes and he understood.
Very funny! Welcome to the "I feel old club." What a glorious place to be. ;)
Oh, I loved reading those 33 signs that you are getting older. I learned so much more about you. I love those lists you guys make! I think you should always celebrate your birthay and it doesn't matter how many candles are on the cake. We are so blessed!
Great list - and hilarious. I was shaking my head in agreement about so many things!
I'm on board for every item on your list except the waking up at 5:45--so that must mean I'm only 32!
Too Funny, I love #10 and #9 I think you meant 1990. Why does 33 sound so much older than 32. I'm still 32 in my head, actually I'm still 25 in my head, but I'm right there with you sister.
It was fun hanging out with you last night.
Great list Robyn! I won't say how many MORE things I have to put on my list to equal my age :)
This is a great list Robyn, very amusing. I don't think getting older means not looking forward to birthday though, they can still be good.
(I'm particularly amused by numbers 8, 10, 13, 15 and 28)
happy birthday...what a great list...another perspective on life yeah? some things made me smile....it was great seeing you on saturday...you looked darling
This is a great list. I agree with so much of it. I can't agree with waking up at 5:45am before 9 is a stretch for me.
Dang being old is hard but I guess it's worth it when you have so many friends that feel the same way.
I agreed with almost everything on your list! And I DO remember having records! I'm with Jill, though, I think we should always celebrate our birthdays -- I haven't had one yet that I dreaded (maybe it's because Marc is 5 years older than me?).
