But I just about fell out of my chair.
DH likes to listen to AM talk radio. One of the shows has a weekly call in segment about technology. It usually consists of old or stupid people who don't know to install anti-virus software, etc. Today though, a woman called in because her computer kept giving her a message. It said, "Plug-in installation required." She would click ok, then it would say install manually. The woman then stopped talking, and the tech guy said, "okaaaaay." She then replies, "I don't have anything else to plug in!"
Oh yes, she did. I read stories about this kind of thing. You know, the lady who puts her CC in the disc drive, or the one who used the CD drive as a cup holder. This is my first experience, indirect as it was, with a person who was so technologically illiterate that she was looking for a chord and a plug!
I laughed so hard my stomach hurt. The tech guy tried to explain it to her, but I am quite sure she is still completely lost.

30's
As of today, I am 31 years, 7 months, and 27 days old. In more reasonable terms, I'm 31 and a half. After over a year in my thirties, I have made some observations.
1. It is a LOT harder to lose weight. I know I bragged about my success last week, but I also know that a few years ago I would have seen twice as many results from my work. Oh well, at least I am making progress.
2. My skin requires more attention. I worked outside a lot this year, and I really began to notice how much older I was looking. I blamed the elements, but I am beginning to realize that my skin is just different! I never needed to be vigilant about washing twice a day, moisturizing, toning, blah blah blah. Well my friend works for Arbonne and gave me a sample of their skin care line. Wow! When I cleansed twice a day and toned and did the moisturizers my skin immediately started looking better! Now there is just NO way I'm spending $250 on a bunch of soap and lotion, so I hit up Whole Foods and stocked my cabinet with Jason and Alba products. I can already see an improvement over the past 10 days. Maybe I'll rethink that whole botox thing. I never saw myself as a botulism in the face kind of girl....
3. I cannot drink like I used to. This clearly relates to #1 as well. Before Friday, I hadn't had a drink in over two weeks. I had one beer Friday, one beer Monday, and then came yesterday. I worked out with my trainer early in the morning, but I really cut back in my food to try and counter act those beers. I then went to graduation at my old school. I ate a small plate of the buffet dinner then faculty grad party started. I had three gin and tonics. I am ridiculously hung over. The combination of little food and not drinking is amazing. I called in sick to the barn today. Damn I feel old.
It is just amazing to me how all of a sudden it has really hit me that my 20's are gone.
