Quote of the day:
“You know you’re old when you pull a muscle in your back while putting on your pants.” – me 
Yes, sad but true; the above
quote is based on a true story. Somehow while getting dressed the
other morning I managed to do a number on my back and, as a result, was
sore all day. Am I really that old already?
I think I’ll have to pick this one up!
Today and for the next three days I am participating in a training for
school. It was great … good info, continental breakfast,
catered lunch, and even cookies for an afternoon snack. But,
sitting with a first year teacher makes me feel so old. I can’t
believe I am already entering year ten! I remember when I was the
youngest, and I was the one who made everyone else feel old.
Where has the time gone?
In high school and college, everyone, including me, thought I would be
the first to be married and have kids. I had my life all
pre-imagined, but somehow, that’s not how it turned out. All
those old friends are long married and many have kids. And here I
am … still single and feeling older by the minute. I once had a
friend from Japan who told me that in Japan women are like Christmas
cakes … no one wants them after the 25th (birthday, that is). I
don’t want to be a Christmas cake, darnit!
I guess I have to be grateful for what I have. Love is one thing
that can’t be engineered. And being queen of the 3-year-long
breakup doesn’t really help matters either; I seem to have a hard time
shaking ’em. I guess that’s what happens when I let my life live itself
and don’t listen to my head. But, that’s a story for another day.
My words to live by for today …

yup, getting older beats dying!
