As for the wrinkles, I figure as my eyesight gets worse, I won't be able to see my wrinkles in the mirror anyway.

Lo...I bellowed out loud as I read this, Connie! :-)<br />Love the reference to the Suckometer, too!! <br />I'm sure you look fine with your new color. Does your hair stylist ever say anything about your doing your own color? I bet that highlight job would cost about $75 in the salon. I say stay frugal and let Carl growl every month or so!

But frightening the dog would push things off the scale I must admit!!

Is that what that annoying noise is that I hear all the time :-><br />Getting old is quite annoying but then that's what good hairdressers are for, right? Going under the knife is just too hollywood for me. MrPeachez has to take me and my wrinkles and my rolls as is or too bad. One benefit to old age though is the kids are almost gone from the payroll and then....party time!!!<br />xo, suzygeorgiapeachezhttp://www.georgiapeachez.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1170972260275595837.post-54303394151296894932010-05-22T19:49:44.238-07:002010-05-22T19:49:44.238-07:00Okay Connie, you're ready for some blue in the...Okay Connie, you're ready for some blue in there now, right?

Nope give me my hair color money for clothes and good food and wine, I am happy! I do not like pain, so the description of the six to ten weeks of recovery, bruising and pain- NO thank you! We are not getting older, we are getting wiser- we understand what slowing down and enjoying the good things around us, like murphy and the others :)Chef Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11198603107302675448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1170972260275595837.post-45927112914970809192010-05-22T14:26:40.986-07:002010-05-22T14:26:40.986-07:00Why do we even bother?

Ask our grandchildren!<br />I usually go a light brown and then get *golden blond* foils that are supposed to hide the emerging grays. That's the theory, anyway.<br />Last time, the hairdresser went a little foil happy, but at least I don't see any grays yet, so maybe she did a good thing, eh?<br /><br />So I now have youthful hair, but the poor old body needs work. *sigh* <br />My middle grandson was cuddled up in my lap, and turned and said "grummie, I love how you're so nice and squishy!", so I've decided to focus on pleasing 4 to 9 year olds, and quit worrying about the rest! ;)Tatersmamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11991481246363893085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1170972260275595837.post-91179702553926087112010-05-22T12:29:15.033-07:002010-05-22T12:29:15.033-07:00Oh I know how you feel.

I've been slowly dyeing my hair a lighter color so it can gradually get closer to it's now, normal color. I think it's mostly gray now, but I'm not for sure because I've been coloring it a medium ash for years now. I figure if I go lighter I can frost my hair eventually and make it all blend.Sherrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14455593624797906261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1170972260275595837.post-62492320303144563732010-05-22T11:13:26.855-07:002010-05-22T11:13:26.855-07:00No doubt the model made enough money on the last s...No doubt the model made enough money on the last shoot that she could afford all of the lifts and tucks before la Petite Frost shoot. I am thinking she is really 85. I gave up on the age in the box a while back. My hair grows so fast that in two weeks time I was needing roots done. After Riley patted me on the double chin and told me that Grandma's with soft chins are the best kind, I decided to be happy with the me that is right now. <br /><br />Aren't these critters a piece of work?
