Where has this year gone?!?

I can't believe Christmas and the New Year are mere days away. Well, let me rephrase that... if you go by the "Calendar-O-Wal-Mart" it seems Christmas was just mere "days away" sometime about the middle of October!

The piped in music at almost all stores visited before Thanksgiving, was Christmas stuff. And they wonder why employees & customers "Go Postal"? Which reminds me... I still have packages to mail. Cripes.

Okay, back to how fast the year has gone. I am a firm believer that once you hit forty, years don't last as long. As I am moving in on fifty (yeah, yeah... I said it! Don't have a cow or anything!) I believe the days are significantly shorter, thus, the year goes by faster.

Where was I going with this?

Oh yeah, time flies etc. So what I'd like to know is if time passes so much faster as you age, how come we don't look better as a whole? I mean... if time is flying, wouldn't you think you wouldn't get grayer or fatter or saggy-ier? I think somewhere along the line time should cut us a break!

Oh by the way... this is the latest scientific evidence that suggests this is the only accurate way to weigh yourself after you've turned 40. Seriously! It's the only reason I smile some days! On that I'll leave for awhile. There is a piece of chocolate singing to me from the kitchen. Time to sing along! (At least it's not a Christmas carol!)
