The Makeover
I won a make over. I was pregnant, walked by a booth, filled out a paper with my name and phone number to win a make over, and walked away thinking, “I never win anything…but this would be cool.”
While I was in labor, my phone rang and low and behold it was the salon lady saying I’d won! I explained why I had to wait to schedule, being that I was going to have a baby in a few hours, and so it was put off until today.
I walked in with plans, and she told me, “Now this is what we are going to do..” I sat down and two hours later, she said I went from looking like I was 16 to looking like I was 18. I look young for my age, which I hate a lot of the time, because I get a lot of looks toting around three children.
I am not the only one.
I met someone recently who I literally thought was maybe 12 or so, and she was 20. Her aunt said they have given her menus with crayons at restaraunts!
I went to the movies with my friend who is 34 with four children, and they told her she couldn’t get in to see an R rated movie without her drivers license!
I know there are worse things, but it’s funny how people can assume ages.
Do you look young? What have you been mistaken for?

Honey,You will love it when your my age. Sometimes people say I don’t look old enough to have 6 grands, but mostly it’s just accepted, but really, just imagine looking so young when your 40.
I know you lov e those things, Bro said you look great.
Good for you…
Love you, Mom

Yes. When I taught at the high school, the other teachers would ask me for a pass in the hall. It was funny…the first time. Then the same teachers kept asking me for a pass because they thought it was so funny. I stopped laughing, but they didn’t seem to get that it wasn’t funny after the tenth time.

I look the same as I did yesterday. Does that count?
No, I think I look, and have been told that I look relatively young. I look older with the beard but before I would look at guys my age at church and think they were 10 years older than me.
My grandma is 85 and has smooth and tight-skinned hands. Its all that indian blood.

Nope. I look my age (OLD!), I just don’t ACT my age sometimes.

Grace and Jessie~ I don’t know If I”ll post picts. I don’t have many of myself! But I’ll try as soon as I can….
Baisically they just trimmed the dead hair off, and gave me highlights. It’s a big deal because I haven’t done anything like that in about 4 years!
(pre Eliot) She did my makeup and stuff that day. too
I am glad I am not alone in the looking young, and I am sure soon enough I’ll be wishing I looked younger! All I know Is that my boys are turning my hair prematurely gray!

wow. yes, when i was 21 i wanted to do something you had to be 18 for (ride along in my friends car on the race track while he was driving), and the guy thought i was 13 and wouldn’t let me. that was 4 years ago. a couple of weeks ago we went to watch a friend of ours play guitar in a club you have to be over 21 for, the guy at the door drilled me on my DL cuz he didn’t think it was me and that i was old enough. so annoying sometimes. and i know what you mean about looks, i got those especially when i was pregnant with eli!! one day we’ll love it, though. or so i’m told!
