I Am Now Officially Old….

18. That’s nearly ancient, right? On April 10th I reluctantly became a year older. So what can I do now that was forbidden before?

(It’s in a picture because WordPress is occasionally uncool and messed up the formatting to where it had been reduce to weird gobbledygook)

These are just a few off the top of my head. I guess I can live with being old though. Anybody have some dentures I can borrow? I’ll give them back once I finish. Promise!

Here are a few B-Day pics. The cake was fantastic! Strawberry-Kiwi Shortcake by Mom…..so good! The last pic is technically Easter, but aye they’re close enough. Notice that my older brother is straining upwards a bit….and on a rock…….and barely as tall as me……just saying.

A really great friend from Crossett dropped by too and we went a bit muffin-crazy….(Picture by Mom, then attacked in PicniK by Emily)

Then on Sunday afternoon I get an accidental text from my friend “We’re going out with Emily and Jon tonight for his birthday” I knew nothing about it. It was supposed to be a surprise. Once I figured that part out I couldn’t stop laughing. We still had a great time and even managed to teach them how to play Rook which is a family favorite. I won’t say who won…..it’s the fun of playing……that’s what counts….not who wins…….yeah……even if you just barely lose by 25 points…..it’s all about playing…..and having an awesome partner…..which I did….that’s what matters………not winning…..

All in all it was a fantastic birthday….even if I am now old. Does this mean I get a motor wheelchair now? Can I supe it up to go 90? You laugh but more than once I’ve seen some old people chugging along at five mph ON THE ROAD. Not little backroads either but busy main roads. I laughed, other people got a bit angry I think. I almost can’t wait to get old. When old people do strange things people think it’s because they’re senile (Future post to come about an encounter with an insane old lady). Hehe I could get away with ANYTHING!
