For example, if I'm going 35 and want to accelerate slowly to 40, the rpms will just jump and the car will start to accelerate, but then immediately continue at the same speed. Car will not accelerate unless I press the gas pedal down further to cause the tans to drop gear or press gas just a little harder.
I believe this is a fuel problem such as a glogged fuel filter. But I have also heard it just might need a tune-up. It's about time for tune-up anyway. 110,000 miles and I've had it 2.5 years without changing fuel filter, spark plugs and all. It has a K&N air filter, so I know THAT isn't the problem.
Like I said, I suspect it's a clogged fuel filter. Please input affirmation or alternative suggestions please. Thanks in advance!

It could be a problem with the transmission. Take it in to a shop and have it looked at. Sounds like you're getting some slippage there. It wouldn't hurt to change the filter anyway and you should have a tune up with the mileage. Good luck.
