Days are running short for me...

Okay, so I have been delinquent in keeping this blog in the last few weeks. It's not because I didn't try... in fact, I had a really good one ready to go when I lost it... just like that. Made me mad because I really put alot of thought into it... I previewed it, then wanted to change something, and poof! It was gone! AAAARRRGGH! So I pouted for a week or two and now I am ready to try again.

No pics today, though, as I haven't the time. I really wanted to tell a story of sorts. One about a lady who thought she looked pretty good for being 40. She had worked all day and looked forward to spending some money for some new shoes that evening at the Kohl's located down the road from work.
She spent a little time looking at other things to purchase, but decided the shoes were a splurge enough, so she went to the cash register to pay for them. The total was given, and the debit card was ready to swipe, when the cashier, ( a young female around, oh, say 22 or so) asked this lady if she qualified for a senior discount...

" I sure hope not..." replied the lady, looking to the cashier to see if she was smiling at her clever joke ( but wasn't). The lady returned her focus to the card reader when the young whipper-snapper said, " well, they lowered the age".... "Oh, really? To what? " replied the lady, almost excited at the prospect of getting a discount on top of a discount.

" To 55."

"Ummmm........ no, I don't believe I qualify." .... this time looking at the cashier with a look that told the young girl she'd better stop while she still has teeth. After the transaction was completed and the OLD lady got to her car, she immediately pulled down the visor, opened the lighted mirror and stared into the face of a grey-haired, wrinkly, saggy and old woman with a turkey neck and crows feet, baggy, tired eyes and worry lines that belonged to someone she didn't recognize as herself.

That's when I called the hairdresser to get an appointment for a highlight and cut, the dermatologist for a chemical peel and facial, and my plastic surgeon for botox and a face lift!


..........now, where did I put the Geritol? And where the hell is my cane?
