Thanks to those funny, silly, energizer-bunny boys, I forget that most of my friends I graduated high school with have children that are almost grown...some graduating university...some even having their own babies. My boys, though they make me crazy sometimes....they keep me young.
****************
Right now, I am a few months older than my own mother was when I came to Japan, 18 years ago. I still find it amazing that I have 2 little boys who call me "Mom"....I can't imagine having a 29 year old doing that at this age!!
********************
My students are helping me keep this whole "aging process" into perspective....a couple weeks ago I learned a valuable lesson when I was feeling a bit blue about getting older. I tried to explain how I was feeling and well......If you're going to have a pity party about getting older, don't invite older people, they have no sympathy, whatsoever.
I love my students.....they offer reality bitch slaps and they don't even know it...or maybe they do and that's just part of their charm.
******************
Yes, Lila....as for my choices for cake for my birthday....I'll take beefcake over chocolate or vanilla anytime!!!
*Can I just wrap him up "to go"?!?!****************************

That one? That one touched my heart.

Hey Deb, Just back stepped and read your blog about the slippers. I am thinking perfect canidate....Yes ME, I am willing to wait to get them until you come home in July/Aug. Saving postage...ahha what a friend. And better yet the perfect excuse to visit while you are home. Shellie
"don't invite older people" to a pity party -- haha! smart thinking! though, it's always great to accumulate older friends as life goes on. it's the only way to keep that young feeling!!!
happy, happy, happy 4th! love the pic of you and your boys.
oops, did I say 4th?

I hear you! Can't believe I at almost 46, I have a 4-year-old calling me "Mommy" in a high-pitched voice! Yahahahahahahaaaaa

Happy belated birthday, only catching up on my blog reading now. Would love these slippers so will you add me to the list for the giveaway purleeeessssseee.
I find it amazing that you have lived there for 18 years. Do you ever think you'll come back?
Happy Birthday! You look wonderfully young & I can assume that having those two little rascals to chase after, definitely probably helps!
