Okay, so I stopped by the store this morning to get a newspaper and a drink as I usually do. The girl behind the counter, who I speak to every morning, got to talking to me about age. So, I said "Well, I will be 28 in September". She replies "28?" with eyebrows raised as if to say "who are you kidding?". So, I asked her if I really looked that old and she stutters out "oh! n-n- no. I just thought you were older cause you act older. And you know with being married and having a kid." Okay, no what she thought is that I was already in my mid-thirties (and not the youthful looking early thirties that most of my friends are) (and you know who you are Myra :) ) and I am an old frumpy fuddy dud that has lost my youthful glow. Nice recovery try on that comment, but you just opened your mouth and inserted foot. Oh well, it could've been worse I suppose. However, I will not let this ruin my day. I will look at it as an incentive to start trying to look my age and acting a little younger. I will try to stay young at heart. :)

girl i am with you...i have been told for years that i look older than i am...could it be the blah appearance...could it be the fact that i am married with 3 count them, 3 children...could it be that i am SO tired most of the time that the youthful essense that i should have has completely escaped me... you tell me?? LOL
