Almost a Christmas Baby, huh? I suppose that has it's drawbacks, as people tend to give "combined event" presents. Believe me, you aren't old, until you totter across that half-century mark, THEN you feel old! I suppose you are going to be 29...again? :-)
JYankee. Sadly, no. I am still at the point where if I reverse the digits, I will be even older. I will be nearing 40, but still not there.
Yes, Jos, growing up my birthday presents were usually not as fancy. The good stuff was saved for Xmas. Except when I turned 21. Then my mom gave me jewelry.

It's apparently a time when they pay you not to work. My mother is retiring shortly (at 60!) and will be living a life of luxurious idleness and spending her winters in a warmer country.
Unfortunately the way that pensions are going (raising the retirement age), our generation are probably not going to see it. But we can dream...

ReplyDeleteThanks, Meleah!
ReplyDeleteBrian, my husband says his retirement plan can be summarized in one word: death.
