Old German Lady

I realize that as I am " growing up" I am talking more and more like an Old German Lady ( let alone acting like one.) The word ( well, it's kinda a word) "Aach!" passes through my lips at least 5 or 6 times a day. Other things I say are " Such things happen" instead of " Shit happens", " Forenoon" instead of morning, " One would think so" instead of " Yea", " Front Room" instead of " Living Room" ( which we used to giggle about when Grandma said it), and I actually said the word Nigh the other night at work. Instead of " It's almost 7" I said " It's nigh on 7 o'clock" I even said " It's doesn't do a body good to worry about such things"

The acting like it is happening too. A couple of months ago when I was stood up, I had to leave the house when I realized I was sitting alone in my house at 7 p.m. on a Friday night, looking at my photo albums. During the winter I have started watching tv with an afghan around my shoulder ( it's cold in the basement).

So give me my spectacles on a granny chain, a nice house coat and call me Thelma..

Well.... I suppose.....
