Birthday Absence

posted Monday, 13 November 2006

I've been very busy lately, and I'll tell you all about it later, but I think I'll log off for now.

I have to go teach soon, and when my day's classes are over, I intend to forget all about teaching, research, students, dissertation, and everything else.

You see, it's my birthday today!  And I'm going to go have a little fun with friends and cake and ice cream and phone calls and good food and movies.  (Shhhhh, don't tell my professor Nerd Lords -- they think I'll be in the library!)

As for how old I am now . . . Tsk, tsk, tsk! You know it's not polite to ask a lady her age!  *giggle*  All I will say is that I'm old enough to remember the events of 1989, and this means that my undergraduate students think that I am a dinosaur!

So today, gentle reader, to help me celebrate a little, you should indulge yourself with something nice (like a decadent pastry, mmmm) and feel no guilt -- consider it birthday fun for all!
