This picture doesn't capture it very well, but I took this after having a tear-filled, belly laugh during my phone appointment with Betsy on Saturday. We were laughing so hard we couldn't speak, and both ended up feeling exhausted (in a good way). She's the best kind of therapy!
I am overdue for a hair appointment, so the wiry, gray hairs are taking over and making me feel so old! Eek!
I discovered a new wrinkle across the top of my forehead yesterday right before church. I have literally never been looking in the mirror and recognized a new wrinkle before, but I gasped and ran to show Randy. He said, "Yeah, and the chunkies too." As if I could have somehow missed the 2 big, red blemishes in the middle of my forehead! $%#@! What is up with the universe? I thought I would be plagued by the vertical fissures between my eyes forever more, but now to be getting wrinkles horizontally as well, that's just too much! I'm not going to lie to you, this discovery produced tears, but we had to leave for church so I had to banish them.
Sweet fancy Moses I was able to get the Safety and Emissions done and my car registered today!!!!!!! The level of giddiness produced by this is embarrassing. That means I have almost 9 months to drive in peace until it's time to register it again!
All of Saturday's snow has melted (woohoo). Whitney declared that "there is only one plomp of snow left."
**Have you ever spied a wrinkle on its first day of existence?
Are you handling your aging gracefully?

was before I'd begun to visibly age.)
Has registering your car ever been a cause of euphoria for you?

Comment Window Tidbit: My post-church headache was so bad I ate dinner then had to lie down, and ended up sleeping from 7-9:30pm...not good! The headache went away, but I was awake until 4:30am. It's a good thing I'm loving my book right now.

I didn't see any wrinkle, maybe you had bad lighting and it just made it seem worse? (reminds me of a Seinfeld episode where the girl was only pretty in "good" lighting) Personally I refuse to worry about wrinkles as long as I'm still worrying about zits - no way I'm stressing about both at the same time! But have you thought about getting bangs? That would hide the wrinkle! I'm all about hiding the ugly stuff, which is why I avoid swimsuits.
Sick of snow doesn't even cover it. My sister called and said if I can get to Florida (where she rented a house in two weeks) I have a place to stay. Getting away from this snow and letting the sun soak into my skin (causing wrinkles) has never sounded better.
I don't think I have spied a wrinkle on its first day of existence. But I sure am aware of all of the ones I already have. I thought I could handle aging gracefully... until it started to happen for real. bleh.
I'm so excited for you that you got your car registered and have 9 whole months to drive stress-free!! Woot!
(Did you see that Jessie went to traffic court to get out of paying the fine for having expired registration? Could you go that route?)
What a bummer about your church-induced headache. I hate those.
You're too beautiful to be upset by wrinkles!
I remember reading recently (can't remember where?) that cultures used to celebrate aging...who decided it was bad? I do have to say that I have a seemingly permanent line that goes across my forehead that surprised me the other day. I guess it's there to stay so Jeff and I laughed about it and how funny it is that it seemed to show up out of nowhere!
We have had lots of crazy, wonderful, rainy weather which usually means cold, snowy weather for you Utah friends.
Yeah, for your car registration!
I don't see it!
I miss my belly laugh friend sessions!
The wrinkles are one thing, but getting zits and wrinkles at the same time are driving me up the wall!
Dave registered my car for me while I was in the migraine clinic and THAT made me giddy because I didn't have to do it!
I love that you and Betsy had such a great conversation that it was laugh-till-you-cry good. Gotta love those kinds of friends and those kinds of calls.
I'm sorry that you had a bad headache. I am GLAD that you and I are both having fewer headaches. Its a good thing, eh?
I really wish there was an easier way for us to register our cars, than waiting in one of the lines at the DMV.
Speaking of grey hair, my little guy told me the other day that I was fat, and turning into a grandma with all my grey hair. Makes looking in the mirror take on a whole new meaning for me right now.
Guess you just gotta laugh at times!
Have a great day!
I was fine with aging until I started having to get my chin waxed. Why do hairs pop up in the strangest places when we age?
Church induced headaches are the worst!
I have woken up before and found myself starring at someone in the mirror that I swear didn't look like that when I went to bed! Honestly - I stood there for like 5 mins scared to death. The sun was apparently not my friend growing up and now - I am feeling the pain..
I put my registration sticker on the wrong side!! #$(*&Q@(#*&$!! I was pulled over but let go. Phew! Honestly - is this a blonde moment or just plain STUPID?! To think I get to re register my car in another state - JOY!
We had snow last night! It didn't stick long - but totally whacky for our area...
You have some great friends - the belly induced ab workouts are the best. I am banking on some weekly as I will soon live closer to family and that is what does it for me!
I hate discovering new wrinkles. I still remember the first ones I found around my 29th birthday. It was not fun. Now I think they just start to mesh together. A client I trained the other night told me I should do Botox!! She works at a medical spa. Seriously, she was actually touching my face and telling me how much difference it would make. I was like, "... uh, thanks."
I am starting to see where I am going to get crows feet- it kinda excites me...but I am a freak. I guess that is handling it gracefully- right?
Yay for 9 months of stress free driving! I have never had a euphoric experience with registering my car- I don't think I have ever had it not registered.
Sick AND tired of snow. Blah.
I may have to incorporate plomp into my everyday vocabulary.
The only way to avoid wrinkles? Never have any kind of facial movement. Good luck with that.
Visible signs of aging are a kick in the pants. As if life wasn't difficult enough. Sometimes I look to the heavens and say, 'Another chin hair? Really Lord?'
Ha. Plomp. And I love that the snow is melting! I am so looking forward to sunshine and blue skies.
