40 is the new Pink

If there is anyone out there reading this, I am turning 40 next week. Now, the big deal about this is that I have to renew my driver's license - and that means a new picture. When I last renewed my license, 5 years ago, I had the option of getting a new picture or using the last one. As I was having a bad hair day I chose to keep the old one. Which means my picture is nearly 10 years old. They won't let me keep this picture - don't know why, I look the same. OK, a few more grey hairs - which won't show up on a photo that tiny. But I have wicked bags under my eyes, and more chins than I really want! And I squint now when I smile. WTF?
So here's what I think I'll have to do - clearly I will have to go on a good hair day. (Good thing I just got a haircut - thanks, Richard!) I will also have to have a good night's sleep. AND be caffeinated. So that means maybe next Monday... but I'm always so stressed out on Mondays after being home on Sundays.... OK, Tuesday. No, wait, I have class on Monday night and I sometimes go out after that. Hmmm... well, then Wed.
OK, now what do I wear? I mean, I'm going to be looking at this crap for the next 5 years, so it should be something pretty decent. Something that shows my neck, that helps with the multiple chin thing. And nothing too light in color - then I'll look like every other washed out Irish gal.
Thoughts?

I got my new license pic yesterday. Great picure, by drivers license standards, but I have the same hair style I did in the last one. Something needs to change.
