You know you're forty when ...

... you were kneeling on the floor to take pictures of your cats from a different angle, and your knees crack and hurt terribly after you finally get up ... your hair starts thinning and the grey gradually moves to a shade of white and tinting your hair will probably not do any longer - you need full color! ... you start eating less and gaining more weight ... you can't sleep through the night anymore and get up like 4 times a night and feel like shit in the morning when you have to go to work ... when your bladder suddenly is having a life of its own and is not responding to your instructions anymore ... the new dietbook you buy, explicitly says: "Dieting for women in their forties"

Veraenderungen
Mit den Jahren verändert sich vieles. Manches ist leicht hinzunehmen, so wie die ersten weißen Haare in den Augenbrauen. Wundere ich mich doch eher dass sie jetzt erst kommen obwohl sie anderswo schon seit Jahren ihr Unwesen treiben. Andere Veränderungen sind nicht so leicht zu verdauen. Die stehen mir - wenn...

Wer nicht schläft
hat Zeit sich anderweitig zu betätigen. Man muss das nur positiv betrachten. Nur blöd dass man dann üblicherweise müde ist wenn man eigentlich aufstehen muss um zur Arbeit zu gehen. Aber man kann halt nicht alles haben ...

Schlaflos und Nachtschweiss
Das sagt eigentlich schon alles. Aber betrachten wir es doch mal von der positiven Seite: Wachsein um 4:45 um dem herrlichen Gesang unserer gefiederten Freunde zuhören zu können, in erster Reihe und in Gesellschaft meiner vierpfötigen, bepelzten Freunde. Und wir wollen nicht vergessen wie herrlich es sein kann sich um...

Aging is not for cowards ...
... sagte Mae West einst zu einem Reporter. Altwerden ist nichts für Feiglinge - so hat in Anlehnung an diesen Ausspruch auch Herr Fuchsberger sein Buch tituliert. Nun bin ich längst noch nicht so alt wie "Blacky Fuchsberger", aber so mir das Schicksal gnädig ist werde ich hoffentlich mal so alt werden...

Pimples ? Are you serious?
Pimples at the age of 46? Nature, are you serious? You gotta be kidding me. You're mocking me. Is this what you call aging with grace?

You know you're getting old ...
... when the dark hair on your heads gets lighter and the light hair above your upper lip gets darker ... when you start growing dacial hair where never before any hair has been. ... when what hurt a little before every once in a while hasn't stopped hurting for the last...

Eurovision Songcontest
Mal was ganz anderes, was so gar nix mit dem älterwerden zu run hat: Also öfter als einmal, schreib ich das wirklich nicht ... Ich glaub das Beste ist noch die "neue" Version von Max Mutzkes altem Eurovisions Song, die nun heisst: Ich hab Migräne .. oder sowas von irgendjemand präsentiert, den...

Luscious Lips
everytime I see ads in magazines or on tv with young models with these soft luscious lips I get so envious. I think it's a personal affront to everybody over 25. It always makes me sad and I think of the times, when I was young and my lips were soft...

I am officially giving up!
. . . SMS, Twitter, Jaiku, Frazr, Wamadu, Faybl, Skype ........ AIM, MSN, ICQ, Trillian, Yahoo ...... - Now, THAT were the times. Then I still understood what it was. Nowadays I feel SO lost. It's all greek to me. Then again I am older now. Less flexible. And the only way...

It's all in the mascara, sweetheart
yeah, rrright! As we all (who have come of age) know, growing old has its nasty perks. One of them: grey / white hair. And since I really, really can't see anything graceful about grey hair when I am only in my mid-forties, of course I have it dyed (more like tinted)...

Moving up towards 50 ...
It still takes me a moment to catch breath when I say: Now that I am 44 ... Shocks! 44 .... can you imagine? Naw, probably not, unless you are also 44 or older. It shouldn't be so shocking, I mean it's not like I turned 44 yesterday. Then again, it's not...

You know you're getting old ...
... when you watch tv and see an old lady dying with her friends and family next to her, all caressing her, holding her hand, being there with her, helping her to make the passage, helping her to die, and then you think about yourself and think who would be...

You know you're old ...
. . . when your 26 year old colleagues jaw drops to the floor when she hears you say that "the boss" is two years older than you and therefore will be 46 on Monday - after she asked how old he is while she is signing his birthday card...
