Life is a Bumpy Road: Eeyore's Birthday Party

About Me

Location: Austin, Texas, United States

I am an esteemed alumni of Austin College in Sherman Texas (Class of "none of your business"). I graduated with a BA in Liberal Arts as a History Major. Subsequently, I have worked in the human services field since graduation because there aren't too many jobs out there for history majors. Except for my short incarceration in Sherman, I have always lived in Austin, Texas. That's not totally true, I was born in England and lived there approximately 18 months, but for some strange reason I don't remember living there. I travel through out Texas for my job, every week. So beware Texans, I might be coming to a town near you!! I am happily married to a wonderful guy and have 0 (zero, zilch) children. (We just forgot to have them?) I find life amusing now (I used to find it extremely depressing but that's another story). So here's to Life, which after all can be a very bumpy road!

Eeyore's Birthday Party

It feels like I blogged about Eeyore's Birthday Party just the other day, but apparently it's been a full year. We missed it again this year, like we have the last 10 years or so, but that's life. When I was younger it was one of THE things to do in the spring in Austin. Now that I am older, mmmmmmmmmmmmmm...not so much.

We were shopping at Central Market this weekend and the checker (who was much younger than us) had just been to Eeyore's for the first time. She was thrilled with it. We told her we had both been to it many times in the past but we were now much older and didn't go anymore. She looked at us like she was thinking: "Yeah, right. You are old and probably never did go to Eeyore's. Or if you did, it wasn't as cool then as it is now. I'm NEVER gonna be as old as you and not want to go to Eeyore's." We just smiled and walked away thinking, "Just wait, honey, we thought we would never get old either!"
