I'm Sorry, You Want to See What?

Lookin' Gooood

I had to buy wine for a committee dinner that will be happening this Thursday and guess what?  I got carded today!  When the wonderfully sweet lady wanted to see my ID I almost jumped across the counter to give her a big fat smack on the lips.  It has been a long time since someone asked to see my ID.  I laughed and told her she was going to make today's blog posting, and she just asked that I not use her name.  I think I embarrassed her a little.  I didn't mean too, I was just so excited.  I know I don't look 21 anymore, but it's nice to know I look a little older than 30.  (all the signs say if you look to be around 30, they will card you)  She said she just wanted to make sure she didn't end up going to jail.  I told her I didn't care about the reason, I'm just glad she asked.

I guess I do look a little
older with my hair fixed &
makeup on
Let the 40 year old be happy for a bit. 

The really funny thing about being carded today is that I had my workout clothes on, no makeup, and my hair had finally dried from being so sweaty.  In the words of National Lampoon's Cousin Eddie:  I was looking goooood.  (luckily I had put some perfume on so I didn't smell bad.) 

You know, I may never get carded again as long as I live, but I did today & it felt great!

    I know what you mean! When I said something to the nurse in the pediatrician's office about turning 40 this year, she said, "No way! I thought you were about 32! I NEVER would have guessed you were almost 40." Made my week!

Well Good for Fair Fanny Petro

This is one of favorite sayings from the movie, The Help.  The way Skeeter says it with just the right touch of 'I don't give a flying monkey's behind' is perfect...I.mean.PERFECT.  And you have to say it like  you are from 1960's deep south.  Which means you don't really pronounce your r's.  Here's the clip from youtube. This is a saying I'll say sometimes if somebody is talking about something I don't give two shakes about.  I thought it just a few hours ago as I was listening to the radio.  But to back up just a bit so you know why I said it... ...The older I get the more I don't  understand our fascination with Hollywood stars, musicians, and people who play collegiate/professional sports.  Most of them are not worth our time of day.  There is a large portion of them that are just, well, trash.  If they were living in your community, and were just a plain Jane normal person, you probably wouldn't have anything to do with them.

A Little Bone to Pick

Image
I have a little bone to pick with Team USA.  Hey y'all, will you please sing our national anthem when you win the gold medal?  I mean, you're standing there on the top level of the podium; the gold medal is hanging around your neck; our flag is being raised above all others; our national anthem is the one being played; and you are just standing there.  You are a citizen of the greatest country in the world.  Sing, please sing.  If you're not going to sing, then I want you smiling and/or crying like crazy. I can't even imagine all the work you have done to get to the point where you are now.  All the years of training, and forgoing a 'regular life' to pursue your dream.  I'm just a random mom from Alabama, but my patriotism is deep.  When you medal, we all medal.  We love your spirit, love it when you recognize your competitors, and love your sportsmanship.  Remember that there are hundred of thousands of little children watching you and wanting to be j
