Hi there! Glad you got through the rough weeks.:)

33. One place that you go to over and over? My mistakes

I'm laughing ruefully, because I go to the same place, far too often. Figuring out how to stop revisiting my failures would probably greatly improve my outlook on life.

8. Your dream/goal? Retirement

Is this a far-off dream, or are you hoping for an early retirement?

As for retirement, it's a long way off! This is only my seventh year of full-time teaching (I'm one of those people who took her time heading back to graduate school), and there are still 28 years on the mortgage. :) If I'm 43 now, perhaps I can make it until 70-ish? Hopefully?

Nice to see you again, S! M.
