I usually hum a tune or make up a (short)song to sing to whomever made the highest grade on a test while I'm passing them out. Or when they are all asking questions at the same time, I hold my ears and get very dramatic about not being able to hear more than one person at a time. LOL. And I make up stories a lot -- they usually believe me until I start to laugh. (It doesn't pay $$ as well as a real actress, but I get lots of hugs!) :)

Well, you are still smart!!! VERY smart in my book.
But--I do think age is affecting me sometimes. I once could spell everything without thinking about it. Now I have to think. And I'm just not as "quick" as I used to be. Like--sometimes I can know there's a word to use that has a certain definition that I'm talking about, but I can't call the word to mind readily. I don't think I'm less smart, but it's frustrating and it makes me a little reluctant to interact with others. I don't like it, but it's a fact of my life.

I wanted to be in a bluegrass band. ;D I took banjo lessons for about 4 years and all I ever got was two songs; Cripple Creek and Foggy Mountain Breakdown. Then I decided I would be a physical therapist in highschool, but was talked out of it by a guidance councellor who got me off on a vocation track.
Luckily I went to college anyway, ended up with a BA in Fine Art Photography, the Ansel Adams/Diane Arbus type stuff. Never did anything with that degree. Later I became a paralegal which lead to realestate and property management, so now I am a babysitter for peoples investment properties.
What a long strange trip its been.......
