Old Soul

I'm not sure if I've ever blogged about this before, but I have come to the conclusion that I am just an old soul. Here are my reasons why:
1. I truly enjoy being around people older than me, as a matter of fact, people twice my age. I have always been this way since I was very young. Maybe it has something to do with being the baby of the family and always having older people around me. I feel I gain so much wisdom around those that are older than me and generally just enjoy their company.
2. I am not a big thrill seeker. My husband on the other hand is what i call "wild". He loves a thrill and will ride any roller coaster at anytime. I however do NOT ride roller coasters, nor do i enjoy the thrill of a scary story, movie or anything that will cause me anxiety. Justin is young at heart and will always be. (I guess that's why we are such a good match!)
3. I am not very fashion forward. I am more of a classy attire wear-er. I have my few chosen "trendy" shirts, but for the most part, when i can shop, i shop for an outfit that will last through the trends that come and go. I am still wearing outfits from College (over 5 years ago).
4. I am not a night owl. Justin calls me "grandma". I can, and sometimes do, fall asleep before 10. Essentially i start shutting down around 10 pm on a regular basis. (hey, I'm a busy, working mom, wife and volunteer, so shoot me!)
5. I am old fashioned with manners and morals. I believe in saying "yes ma'am" and "no sir". I believe in spanking. I believe in honoring your father and mother and opening the door for ladies. I mean really, are these SO old fashioned? Spare the rod, spoil the child...right?
6. For the most part, i prefer to stay home rather than go out. Don't get me wrong, an occasional date night out is lovely, rare, but lovely. But, majority of the time, I would much rather be in my pj's and on my couch cuddled with my honey watching a chick flick.
7. I love the old movies. You know, the ones that come on the "American Movie Classics" channel. I love them.

That's all i can think of right now. Maybe I'm just boring and not an old soul at all. HA!
