I'm officially old

Well, not really, but you know what I mean. It's my birthday, and I wish I could say that I was happy about it. I'm at an age when birthdays aren't really exciting anymore; they just make you a year older. I've been dreading this birthday for a while. It's a little too close to another age that I will not mention for comfort. That unmentionable age is one that will put me into another box when I fill out surveys; you know what I'm talking about. *shudders* I'm so not ready to go there yet. But I feel older. All of a sudden I'm noticing heretofore unseen lines around my eyes. I'm most displeased about this. But it's not like I'm going to start buying expensive Oil of Olay products to try to prevent any of this, so alas. I'll survive. But I'm ignoring those survey boxes; we shouldn't have to box ourselves in anyways :)
