SO SORRY PAUL

i read that this is national breakup day. while i'm not breaking up with anyone today, i'd like to share a story about something i did in seventh grade that i am not proud of. i had decided to break up with my boyfriend, Paul H., and SENT HIM A VALENTINE POEM!!!! this is how it went:

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
A.E.W. wants to break up with you.

not kidding. not proud. but it's kinda funny, don't ya think? I WAS 12 YEARS OLD!!! if i had it all to do over again, i'd tell him "this is hurting me more than it's hurting you." well, paul, i apologize.

I'm 40!!!!!

i am proud to announce to anyone who is listening, i turned 40 on thursday. it wasn't such a shock, because i've been gearing up for it for a year. i didn't have the rocking disco party i was hoping to have, but i did get an awesome 2 hour massage and spent the evening with my family in austin.
