2011? What Happened To The Year 2000?

Is anyone else freaking out that it's 2011? My daughter just mentioned it is January, and it hit me like a ton of bricks. Weren't all the computers supposed to crash in the year 2000? I thought civilization would come to an end, and we would return to our pre-industrial roots.

I have to confess I was a little crazy leading up to the turn of the century. Pregnant, forty, with a toddler, and a tween makes for a TNT combination. The millennium news made me just that much edgier. The fuse was added when I innocently asked a delivery nurse what that 4" AMA meant that I noticed stamped on all my paperwork; Advanced Maternal Age, she replied. Well, I can't remember if I had a fit but Dr. Icantakeinafight said: I swear Mary; they do that for anyone over 27.

Anyway, I can remember going into survival mode, and purchasing canned food for the end of the world at 01 01 2000.

The good news is that the church pantry appreciated the stash.


Happy New Year!
