I love when the shower walls have red splattered all over them. Just dripping down.. I go to wipe the red off and then more splatters.
Awe the joy
A little red splatter here and a little red splatter there then I feel a lot better and years younger I might add.
The red does my body good.. Makes me feel rejuvenated.
And it looks fantabulous!
Now you might wonder what the hell I am talking about.
I did have to wash the walls of the shower down when I was done of course. So no one would see them when they got home.
I’m talking hair dye.
Burgundy hair dye.
Did the whole underside and my bangs.
The whole midlife crisis hair jobs.
Next thing ya know I’ll be wearing all black.. Oh wait.. Never mind..
I’m not the normal mom am I?
Not too subtle.
But not so much I embarrass the kids. Just Joe .. Drives him nuts.. So I keep it up. Plus I like it.
Only downside is that it had been a year and my hair is quite longer and it took a few hair ties just to tie up the staying blonde part. And of course it took a lot longer to separate out the parts.
But I like it and that is what is important.
Midlife crisis my ass.
It’s really the fact I’m not that OLD yet to give up fun.
Next thing ya know I’ll be watching Lawrence Welk eh?
My grandfather died while watching Lawrence Welk.. He has strange powers that odd little man..
I saw a seventyish German woman in the old fart buffet with purple streaks mixed in with her grays.. I am determined to be that cool in my seventies.
Years ago I was in a McDonalds in Hayward California.. I think with my mom and dad. And this little old couple came in.. Must have been in there early 80’s. They were dressed up for their date at Mickey’ds. He had one dress slacks and a bolo tie like that had been out at a sq dance date and she had on a church going dress and her hair was set. I pictured them as widow and widower on an early date in their relationship.. And they were so utterly in love it blew me away.
And the best part was his shoes. They were perfectly shined.. Like he had just paid the shoe shine boy. Oxblood and white wingtips.. I just about died. The most beautiful shoes. I hadn’t seen a pair like that. And this guy must have had them for years and kept them in pristine condition just for his dates with the hot senior ladies.
I want to be a cool old senior someday.. And have people respect me in places even like mickey d’s.
That to me is having lived.
