The other day...

Miss M: "This is a voice recorder!"
Me [looks up]: "It's a walkman."
Impish Girl: "What's a walkman?"
Me: *feels about a million years old*

ETA: After I wrote this entry, I [randomly] went to look up Right Said Fred on youtube...

*cue waves of nostalgia*

Still remember sitting up late on a weekend, listening to the official countdown on Longwave Radio 252 (already indoctrinating myself with English culture - and was there ever anything gayer than that band?), to find out if Deeply Dippy was still Number 1. I think it held the spot for... 4 weeks? And oh, 'I'm Too Sexy' was EVERYWHERE, and one of my friends bought their album (it was called 'Up'), and I only much, much later discovered that 'Right Said Fred' was originally a song recorded by Bernard Cribbins. And thus my life is all beautifully circular.

ETA2: OH GOD. Now youtube is giving me links to Ace of Base: All That She Wants. *cries*

I've been orienting new grads at work. These are adults who weren't in kindergarten when I graduated from college. Makes me feel older than dirt.

My sister-in-law is expecting her first. When I had Miss M, she was 11. Miss M is now 12, and will totally be this bay's Auntie the same way my s-i-l was her auntie. TIME IS GOING TOO FAST!

My adorable little nephews have friended me on facebook. One of them keeps posting about how he's found the "Love of My Life". That seems a little unlikely at 14, but whatever. He's still 6 in my brain!

I need the Doctor to pause time for a few years...
