Things will never be the same again.
It's a changing of the guard.
The end of an era.
The fat lady is singing.
"Ain't gonna happen" finally happened.
It's not the end of the world, but close.
The bridge had to be crossed.
The dog finally barked.
The boots done walked.
You thought I was making a political statement, didn't you. Not on your life! Not on this blog! (I'm just full of platitudes today)
Here is me at 18:

Now here is me 26 years later:
It finally happened. My eyes started to get old on me. I now have stitching (reading) glasses. It sucks. It's the first sign that my kids are right when they tell me that I am old. I wrote off the saggy boobs, droopy butt and jiggly tummy to having 4 kids. Easily justified. I just can't seem to find a way to blame my needing reading glasses on my kids...yet...I'm sure I'll come up with something!
