Er, well, not exactly. Actually, if I'd have known then what I know now, I'd have taken a lot better care of my teeth.
Turning 50 is good. Lots better than 40, which was about the time I was diagnosed with breast cancer.
At the beginning of the school year I told my students that if they ever want to know my age, they needed to ask me on my birthday. "Happy birthday Ms. White! How old are you?" This year only one student wished me a happy birthday. Hee hee hee. We'll see how many ask on Wednesday after the long weekend. Their surprise is very flattering. If I look 10 years younger than I am, that's not a bad thing. Earlier this year one of my snarky girls said I had to be 30. As if that were old. Ha ha giggle giggle laugh laugh.
Snirkle snirkle... It's been a good birthday with family and friends.
