Alas,it's now official I am 50!

Well the dreaded day has come and gone: I am now 50. Surprisingly I feel no different. There wasn't the magic fairy that came overnight to give me more wrinkles or age spots. Yes, I check my hands every morning for the dreaded age spot. My daughters treated me to a surprise party or in their words "a gathering." It was a lot of fun.

Tired, Tired, Tired and more Tired!

I have been a little weepy all week partly due to lack of sleep and mostly because I am sad that the senior class is leaving. They are a great group of talented women and I will miss them dearly. Our last class was yesterday and we reminisced a little about when they were freshmen. This is the first class I have had all four years. Ellie, a student from South Korea, came in late and was in a panic thinking that she needed to turn in her project to me in class. "I haven't slept all night trying to get this finished" We burst out laughing since the project is due next week. She is so much fun!
I am on the Landmarks Association board and we met for our monthly meeting yesterday. I had received an e-mail earlier in the week asking me to consider taking the VP position and I had agreed to do so not knowing that I would end up in the president's position. EEEK! what have I gotten myself into?
