I hit the big 4-0 last week. My birthday has always been a bit anti-climactic, as it falls just 9 days after Christmas. Everyone (including me) is just about partied out from the holidays when January 3rd rolls around. That's not to say that my family hasn't always done a great job of making it memorable, but it's not like having a birthday in July (like my darling husband).
Anyway, this year I was more than happy to let it slide right on by without any recognition. I even forewarned Lonnie and my parents against any 'surprise' festivities. My mother seemed a bit hurt, but I think Lonnie was quite relieved.
The most memorable birthday occurrence this year happened at the DMV in Rockwall. I went to renew my drivers license (yes, I waited until the last possible moment). I actually failed the vision test and they would not allow me to renew my license until I saw the eye doctor! Well, I now have a restriction on my license and cannot 'legally' drive without my glasses. Boy, was I bummed!
Several days later, it's not so bad. I've actually gotten used to them. Gloria told me I look 'smart' and one of the students at church said my new glasses are 'hot'. I'll take that.
