Turns out 27 was my last good year...

***Overheard this evening in the ladies only fitness room at my gym. 2 girls not working out on treadmill & elliptical watching MTV. Now-a-days version of MTV news comes on during a commercial break***

MTV reporter: "Pop singer Jessica Simpson is off the market. The 30 year old singer sported an unusual engagement ring...." (drowned out by 2 girls)

Girl in for a rude awakening #1: "Jessica Simpson is 30?!?!"

Girl in for a rude awakening #2: "Wow. I can't believe she's 30 and just now getting married!"

Girl in for a rude awakening #1: "I gonna be married and have, like, 2 kids by the time I'm 30."

Girl in for a rude awakening #2: "Ohmygosh - we're gonna be 30 in like, 15 years!"

Girl in for a rude awakening #1: "Eeeewwww." "I think probably 27 is the last good young year, then you're old."

Oh blerg...and just when I was beginning to think that 30 isn't going to be so bad...oh well, apparently I'm already way past my "last good young year" I better enjoy my last 9 months in my 20's before I have to check in to the nursing home! Haha!  It was just too humorous to have corrected them since J-Simp is about to take the plunge for the 2nd time and can bet at age 15, Ms. Simpson probably thought she'd be married with 2 kids when she was 30 too. 

I only wish I'd had a video camera so that I could record and mail a copy of their conversation to them in 15 years when they're "old"!!!

Better go get my prune juice...Cheers!
