Only 39 days until Christmas

[Cpvr]

My God, time goes by so fast. Can't believe we're already half through October. Man...

I remember when I was a kid, my parents kepts telling me that as you get older, time goes faster. I'm 37...

Imagine being 90. Time must go by in an instant. An entire year must feel like 3 weeks or something. That's scary.

This year sure has flown by. I’ll be turning 35 next month.

Pics or it didn't happen!

I'll crop out and post!

I have two or three ugly sweaters, but I only like one of them best because it's not too ugly but still fits the Christmas theme. The other two are just obnoxiously ugly and gaudy.

can we get through Halloween and other holidays first please thanks!

Damn, you reminded me. For every year now, but only after Halloween day for a few days to weeks, I've been wanting to order a costume. Not just any regular, in-the-pack, costume, though. Like, a realistic tailor-made original character or an Etsy-made one like this ($2600). It would pay for itself with all the contests I'd win with candy.

I stopped tracking after 35. Off the top of my head, I'm either 37 or 38.

So true. Ever since I got my first child, time does fly. It’s like I celebrated NYE yesterday and it’s almost that time again. Damn.

I miss what little I had with mine so much as I was in sales and then in warehousing as a full-time student to power through my bachelor's and MBA in 36 months (60-80 hour work weeks away from home), sometimes staying overnight at a hotel cause the drive home would've been too dangerous, until she was about 3 or 4.

Now, she's a bratty 13-year-old teen who just asked (asked is putting it lightly for a teenage girl) to get her hair straightened. And, of course, she got her way.

I've spoiled her since day 1, even though I wasn't present for the good times. I just hope that'll pay off when I'm older and in need.

Yeah they surely grow up too fast. Mine’s only 7 yet acts 17 sometimes. make up, clothing, nails, the whole nine yards. Even talks about boys. I’m not ready for that!

My wife was maturely like that at the age of 13, God help me…

It's too early for Christmas talk. We haven't even had Thanksgiving yet.

I remember when I was a kid, my parents kepts telling me that as you get older, time goes faster.

I think this is commonly said by older people. I've heard it said countless times online and offline. Probably because the older you grow, the more busier you become. Time flies by fast when you stay busy.

I'm 34 and it does feel like we celebrated Christmas not long ago.

I’m ready for some Turkey and ham!
