• I really thought you would have published a book by now. You were so passionate about it. What happened?
• What have you done to your hair? You always hated short hair?
• I'm surprised, but kind of happy, that you decided to stay at home to raise your kids.
• You really don't talk to anyone from high school? Just occasionally on Facebook? What's Facebook?
• You made a good choice in husbands.

Five things I would tell my high school self.

• All of those kids that picked on you for being tiny, short and small-breasted are now fat and miserable and desperate to be your friend.
• Smoking never made you look cool, just uneducated.
• Dark eyeliner does not bring out the green in your eyes, but it does, on the other hand, make you look strikingly like Ozzy Osbourne.
• Staying at home with your kids is a more fulfilling career than any 8-5 job.
• Hang out with your sister more, you are going to miss seeing her when you are both adults.

What conversations would you have with your former self?
