white hair


Here is a picture of some of my friends from the mission. Some are young and some are not as young. Note the good looking people with white hair. Sheesh, I love them. Sometimes I feel like I can relate to the seasoned age group easier than my own generation.

What I am getting at is... I think I will make a great old lady one day.
Here's why:

I love a nice cup of herbal tea. Blueberry is the flavor of choice these days AND tea tastes good when you are reading a good book.

I love to tousle young peoples hair, pinch kids cheeks and kiss babies.

I love me an occasional Werthers original toffee candy.

I think pants with elastic waists are comfortable and practical.

I love cats. I have 4 right now and they are the loves of my life. *

I pay to lighten my hair. One day it will just be white.... or gray... for free.

I sometimes say inappropriate things and I long for the days that people will just ignore it and chalk it up to me being senile and old. Old people can get away with saying ANYTHING.










*Complete lie. I don't have a cat or cats. Do not wish to ever own one. Just thought it sounded good because old ladies have cats. ;)

Ah...a post from Anna. So happy... Yesterday at the gym I was talking with my workout buddy in the locker room and we were both leaning into the mirror and whining about the gray in our hair. Thank GOODNESS it was color day for me...I digress. So this went on for several sentences, and then this woman came out of a bank of lockers. You guessed it...completely gray. I looked at her and kind of laughed and did that sort of half wave, and she didn't smile or anything. Embarrassing. But she's grumpy. So there.

Love this post. Your examples of what makes a lady old are fantastic. SO glad you don't have cats. That would seriously affect our relationship.

Sweetheart, I'm so glad you like old ladies. But I don't think I'll ever let my hair grow gray. Unfortunately I do love cats but would only have one if my spouse passed away and I was alone with no one to cuddle with.

Anna said...

What you lighten your hair????????? I am shocked, completely shocked. What else haven't you shared? (okay so maybe I did see one picture of you right after your mission with suspiciously brown hair, but wasn't that just because you were so far from the sun?)

So I have missed you. I love your humor, you're so witty and you crack me up. I totally didnt even recognize Rach with her long hair. HOw the heck is she? Who's kid is in the background. There is a code for letters I learned it while I worked at SkyWest. Look it up. Example...Sierra Alpha Romeo Alpha Romeo Oscar Charlie Kilo Sierra. My Fav is Whisky for W. :) I want to know where you got that pic on the subway cause that's actually me with those long legs and tight tush. Ya. So how is nursing school? I'm jealous. I wish I had found something I loved when I was single. I'm still going to go to school It's just a whole lot harder with all my monkeys. Love em. And, you mentioned hot boyfriend. YOurs? What? Glad you're not the crazy cat lady btw.
