It's creeping up on me...

I just had a birthday and I don't want to get older!!! Somebody press the STOP button!!! . . . ok, maybe the SLOWDOWN button.

Alright, so I have a few gray hairs. So my face no longer has the post-teen peachy glow. So my joints sometimes protest to me.

Today I got fitted for my first pair of O-O glasses :( (And to think I used to be PROUD of how well I could see!) Not a big problem, it's just that little letters and numbers can be kinda fuzzy now. I got a math problem wrong a couple weeks ago because instead of reading the problem as having a 350 in it, I thought it said 550. Time for glasses.

I really don't feel that old, it's just these signs of growing older are >>>pushing themselves in my face. Makes me feel funny inside.

I'll get the glasses, be thankful that I don't have to color my hair yet, and be thankful that I'm still quite active, and not too w~r~i~n~k~l~y. I already have my solution for wrinkles . . . I'll pull my skin back to my hairline, tape it there with scotch tape, then get a good laugh at people's reaction when the tape lets loose and my face goes instantly from grape to raisin :D. I guess you're all forwarned but I'm pretty sure you'll forget by the time I try it. :))

You don't act old and I really don't think you look old.
I feel bad that I didn't get you anything for your birthday yet.

happy b-day! i think you are holding up amazingly well. you could probably win all sorts of money and prizes from those age guesser people b/c they would always guess way low. we should start a racket! we'll go, let you get "suckered" into having your age guessed, and then turn the tables and rake in all sorts of loot!! ;)
