Just tone it down...until my inside matches my outside.
But this sweet caring woman knew it was more than hair. So she did tone it down to a nice ash blonde...not saying another word
until....I was ready to leave
Listen,she says...get through the next couple of weeks..then we'll work out together...Heck I NEED YOU to rustle my rear to the gym...We can walk....and heck..I'll even try your pillots...(I knew she meant Pilates,bless her heart) We'll get your chic back in no time..
We'll head for Oakbrook and shop our heads off when we're back in shape.....I love spending your money..right?
She's right..she does....but she has such a good eye for clothes and ex-cess0ories
I'm doing....I said....and she knew what I meant.......can I find my way back?...I'm going to be 60 this December...GASP!!! I couldn't believe I said it outloud. Can you still be a chic at ...I can't say it again!
She gave me a big hug...she knows how hard I worked so late in life to find myself and what I liked...

Good grief........that made me laugh my arse off......

Suz, I will beat you to 60 by 6 months, I feel sluggish but hopeful.
ReplyDeleteI started walking again, so we will see.
I love, Love, LOVE your kitchen window. I have made many stained glass windows with glass paint and I adore your peacock. We have the same likes. Birds, feathers, colored glass, flowers, special moments., me time.
Reading back entries of yours makes me realize how fortunate I was to know and be with my Dad. We were always first, and there were 9 of us. I'm so sorry you didn't have more time with your Dad. I'm sure he thought he was 'there' for you in his own way.
And, now, Hold that Pose, just long enough for a picture, then, whoop it up girl!
HEY girlfriend! I TURNED ^) remember?!
ReplyDeleteAnd if Dunkin' Donuts can do it, so can we.
Don't fret. I'll hold your hand.
And we'll go to Staso together while she makes Chickie Babes. I'll get the works next Friday.
After all, who looks at anything else when your hair looks great?
Some birthdays are so hard, especially when you feel so much younger inside than your actual age. I think you're an inspiration at any age. And what a great hairdresser you have!
ReplyDeleteThe Cougar Workout ... good grief is right.
It all comes from the inside - the outside is just a reflection of that. . . and YOU have GOT IT inside in bucket fulls! I can feel it - Just let it shine! :-)
ReplyDeleteyour smile says it all. :-)
ReplyDeletesmiles,
ReplyDeletesmile, smile, worry is gone,

It's true it's whats on the inside that counts, that's what my wonderful
83year old mother in law tells me.
White roots don't look so hot when you have dark hair either! :-)
ReplyDeleteI have birthday number 59 coming up next month and I can honestly say I feel great. It must be all that walking that I do. :-)
