I must be getting old.

So I am having a mid-life crisis and I haven't even hit 31 yet. I am sitting here looking at summer concerts in Oregon. John gets to go to concerts all the time, so I was sitting on the couch thinking to myself...heck there might be something I want to go to this summer, I am going to go check out who is coming to our area...so I find, none other than The Cult! Sighhh Ian Astbury...FireWoman, She Sells Sanctuary...well I could go on and on right.



Anyways, back to the mid-life crisis part...so I see that the Vans Warped Tour is going to be here, something I went to in my younger days. "Who is going to be there?" I ask myself. So I proceed to check out the website and do you know how many bands I recognized on the list? Try 5 bands out of about 60! 5...that is all Bad Religion (older than dirt) being one of them.



So here I sit thinking to myself "have I gotten old and just not realized it?" well I think I have already answered my own question! I used to be cool, right? The fact that the only band I can find that I want to see was popular 20 years ago has nothing to do with my age...



Add to all of this. I am trying to do a challenge layout and frantically searching for pictures of myself and not having any luck at all. I realized that not ONE picture has been taken of me since my birthday LAST year and has already been scrapped 3 times. Do I not exist in this family or what? Note to self: hand over the damn camera Dena! So it has been great looking at the progression of wrinkles on my forehead from 2006-present day. Ohhh life before wrinkles, it was nice!

Also forgot to add that my baby is turning 8 in just a few short days! Am I old enough to have an 8 year old? Wasn't she just in diapers the other day?



So yes, today has been a traumatic eye-opener to say the least.

Back to Reality:
Anyone game for seeing The Cult??! We can pretend we aren't old together!

You aren't old, I can only recognize three bands listed on the Warped Tour list. I couldn't really tell you what two of them even sing.

If you're old, then I'm ancient. Therefore, you aren't old!

Don't EVEN talk to me about old. Most of the musicians I remember are dead.

LOL! Just remember you'll never be as old as me! LOL! Just be glad you're not old AND fat! I nearly had a break down in the dressing room yesterday as I was trying on capris in a size bigger than I've ever worn in my life--and they were TIGHT! UGH!
