Beauty Sale Shopper and I went to lunch today. We went to Black Eyed Pea, nothing like a little home cooking. There was a table in the back. One by one, the table started filling up with older ladies. I thought it was so sweet. They even prayed together before their meal. Then I wondered.....Was this a weekly thing, monthly or just totally random? The way they all talked to one another I assumed this was something that happened often enough that they weren't all saying "oh, guess what happened...". Then I thought, where are their husbands. They must all be at the "lodge" talking or out playing a round of golf. But for all I know, all their husbands hate each other. None the less, I hope when I'm a little old lady I can look forward to regular lunches with my friends. Makes getting old not seem so bad.
I feel as if I have added stress on me lately to look a "certain" way. In the past couple of weeks I've been told that I have ALOT of gray showing, my hair cut makes my face heavy, the steriods made my whole face pudgy.... I'm hard enough on myself really, I don't need your help. I (unfortunately) have to see myself naked and see the kangaroo pouch I call a belly where my baby once was. I realize that I do have an infant. But I feel after 6 months...I should see some signs of not being the fat ass that I see before me.
Then today, the Avon lady brought us our catalogs. On the front cover is the "age defining cream". Like usual I flip past it and think nothing more. But then on the next page it shows 3 different creams...for age groups, 50.., 40..., and 30?! And I ask myself "Am I at that point?" Do I really need to start using moisturizers and all that at 31? At one time I always thought over 30 was old....but I feel fairly young. I don't feel like I "look" my age, some times I do "feel" older than my age.
So you are telling me I need to add yet another cream to my after shower routine? Pimple cream, mederma for my scar, lotion for my body and now wrinkle cream? FML!!! Momma didn't tell me about that one, lol.
