Mirror Mirror

Why do you lie???  This morning I was fixing my hair for work and the way it was blowing drying reminded me of how I used to wear it in high school.  I thought I'd share it with you today and make some fun remarks but when I uploaded the pictures to my computer I thought "What the heck?  Who's that?"  It's definitely not me in high school!  That's not the person I saw this morning in the mirror!!!!  In the mirror, my hair was "winging" back like Farah Fawcett (only not as poofy and blonde) and my part was more to the middle (my 70's look too)  than it's usual side part.  With the flip of my wrist and my brush I was producing a 70's hairdo....Cool!  So I padded to the kitchen to take a Kodak moment but something was wrong....I'm not looking like I did back then.  I'm looking older; I'm like my Mom's age (actually in between my Mom's and my Grandmom's age!!!).  When did THAT happen?  Nothing like a slap of reality to hit you before you have your morning coffee or healthy breakfast.  

I've always loved the theater and the costumes and the make believe.  Yet some shows are just too real.  I had to stop watching Criminal Minds because of the thin line between fact and fiction.  I kept worrying someone would watch it and say "hey, that's a good idea!"  I watched an episode of Cold Case one night and the murder happened around a Rosie the Riveter theme.  It was great and I loved seeing today's actors dressed that way.  I would imagine it would be hard for an average person to recreate a 50's hair-do in the morning before work, right?  I guess my "flipping wings" hairstyle doesn't seem so hot!   Back to my reality...

Because I love you....I will share my make-believe delusion with you.  You might want to talk to your mirror too and remind it that lying is not nice (ever....but especially in the morning before your breakfast...just saying).



Look at those wings...they're flipping...to the max!

P.S.  I went to the outlet mall in OKC with my girls one weekend and found the cutest s'mores earrings.  I'm a sucker for whimsical.  Aren't they cute?  Can't see them?  Look again....

Hey, who took a bite out of my s'more?
