Thirty-Five

I never write about my good friend and boss, Alice.

She went and made me mad today, so I must vent.

It's the day before my birthday...the big THREE-FIVE, and I was weepy about it.

Don't ask why. I just was.

Alice, who is the big TWO-NINE, says to me, "Well, at least you're not fifty-three."

It will be your turn soon enough, Alice.

I then told my boss to shut up.

Not nice.

Really, that was not smart.

She did not write me up. Thank heavens she has a sense of humor.

To celebrate, I will write 35 reasons I'm thankful in my 35th year...
