I'm having a moment

I feel old tonight. Like all of a sudden time is moving faster and I'm a bit nervous. So here's the deal. My friend called this evening to ask if I would show her son my flute and maybe let him play around on it to see if it's something he'd like to pursue.

I start thinking about how I felt when I first started playing the flute and was trying to figure out what kind of songs we started with. When I realized I was foggy on this and was wondering why, I started to calculate how many years it's been since I learned.

It's been 20 YEARS!!! Okay, so that explains the fogginess. Yikes!


And to stay on that "My kids will seriously never relate to me or believe that I know what it's like to be them" train......this morning I was fondly remembering when my family had a boat and we would take off on Saturday morning and tube the day away. The special treat when we headed home, exhausted from the sunshine, was to stop at Taco Bell and - get this - all of us got to choose THREE (oo-la-la) items from the

THIRTY-NINE CENT menu.

My sister, Lindsay, always instead finagled her way into getting 1 super expensive item instead. Maybe a seven layer burrito for (gasp) $1.07.

So there it is kids. Proof that I grew up in the olden days. Nothing will ever be the same. Sigh.
