A day off...

I have a day off today...and I am going to catch up on alot of things I have been wanting to do.  I have been thinking alot about what I am going to write today.  I have to tell what Rich did.  Yesterday, he brings out this tub of face cream.  It's called Hydroxatone.  He apparently ordered this off of an advertisement on the radio...who does this?  He has 3 jars of this stuff.  I'm not sure how I should take this.  Apprarently, he thinks I need this miracle face cream...but I have known him for almost 50 yrs. now and since one of the jars of face cream is on his sink, I think he just might have bought it for himself too.  Is it possible that men worry about getting wrinkles too?  Now, he would never admit to this, but this just proves my belief....getting old SUCKS!!!  I will let you guys know if we become better looking after using this cream...LOL!
The one thing that I do like about the age that I am, is that I am not so fixated on my weight like I used to be.  I stepped on the scale every morning.  If my weight was where I wanted it to be, I pretty much ate what I wanted, but if I was up a pound or two, I would not eat that much that day.  I haven't stepped on the scale for over a year.  It is so nice to just eat what I want when I want it.  I have finally accepted this new body I have acquired.  I just recently went through all my clothes and got rid of about 80% of them.  I will never be a 4 or a 6 again.  My daughter-in-law Amber, went through my old clothes and liked quite a few of them.  As we were going through them, we had a good laugh...some of these clothes were....well let's just say "Hoochie Momma"  In my defense, I wore them well and we went on lots of cruises and business trips, so I always tried to look good.
    My last thought for you today is this, love yourself, no matter what you look like.  Enjoy your youth, it passes by so quickly.  You are old so much longer than you are young, so get your SEXY ON!!!

  1. You are good at expressing yourself! I have had to accept a lot of things I never thought I would ever have to face--and you know I can still be happy! My life is not at all how I thought it would be 35 or so years ago but that's OK--although I do admit I wonder how it would have been like if things did happen as I expected them too!lol
