I learned many things over the semester. This brings me immense joy that at 49 years old, I can experience newness, a spark, a rebirth. Whoever said an old dog can’t learn new tricks was WRONG!

I remember when I couldn’t take naps….when I listened to the Backstreet Boys and N’Sync on the radio because that’s what Molly and Kelly listened to….I played Barbies with Kelly until I wanted to cry…when these days would never end…

To say I was nervous about going back to school after almost three decades would be an understatement. Although I wasn’t nervous about the process of school (sitting in a class, interacting with other students and professors, and taking notes), I was nervous I’d forgotten something: underwear, pencils/pens, the right textbooks, paper to take notes, etc., etc.

“I want to go back to college,” I said to my husband of ten years.
David looked at me as if I’d grown horns. For the record, this is not a look I’m unfamiliar with. What is something you’ve done that seemed crazy to everyone else but yourself?

Let’s hear it for the red lips. Send in the photos of you in red. That means red nail polish, a red hat, red shoes, red feather boa, red earrings, etc. If your photo is selected (and please not x-rated), I’ll post it on home page. Send photos to Michelle@40pluswoman.com.
