Gettin' Old

I know I'm getting old... my looming 30th birthday is reminder enough. But now I have physical evidence that I'm growing old. And no, it's not what you're thinking... not the usually gray hairs and wrinkles (although I've been told I have those). The proof of aging is in my toes!!- my big toe nail to be exact. Last night I asked Brad if he had any ridges on his toe nails. He looked at me like I was crazy and pretty much gasped when he felt my nail. That's when I thought- maybe this isn't normal and I decided to google it. One site said, "vertical ridges are characteristic of aging although they are not limited to the aged or elderly." And Mayo Clinic says, they are "fairly common and often become more numerous or prominent as you age."
So, it's true... I'm gettin' old.

Don't worry...I have ridges on my fingernails & toenails and have since I was little. It is a bit "odd" though. Most people I know don't have them.
