Birthday Wishes
her silvery, grey hair is cut short, her bangs casually wisping across her forehead. expressive features are enhanced with slightly dramatic hand gestures. her light, make-up complimenting her button-down shirt, sleeves rolled up to the elbows. Loose, knit pants graze the velcro straps of her hiking sandals. she obviously loves teaching and the attention she gets from being at the front of the room.
on the eve of my 26th birthday, i am witnessing myself forty years down the road. will i be this self-confident? will i be as satisfied with myself, as she is?
she is me, and she is annoying me.

profound. happy birthday, ellen! don't let that 66 year-old bother you too much. i think she's lovely.
happy birthday ellen! you have the same birthday as my grandmother. congratulations! really, you do. she's 84 i think. i wouldn't worry too much about the growing old gracefully thing. there's alway plastic surgery. just kidding....mostly.
kari, good to see you lurking around this blog. thanks for the encouragement...if all else fails there's always plastic surgery!
