Among Friends

[bikerbabe]

One thing about cats. Every time you go to sit at the desk and do some work, they insist on laying on top of your papers and your laptop.

I LOVE 🙄 the arguments on age differences between couples or that women are trash if they don’t dress a certain way based on age.

“Act your age.” What the heck does that mean?

Mine are usually trying to steal my meal.  I've got one that could stand to lose a pound or two so I've been rationing their food and he's starving to death.

Skincare, yes.

Makeup, if never used very much. I’ve never used mascara because I rub my eyes too much. Fortunately, I still have pretty good lashes and eyebrows. Dark.

I also don’t know wear dresses and never have. Or high heels. I did sometimes wear wedges with my ultra tight jeans in high school. 🤣

I don't wear jeans anymore either.  I always thought they uncomfortable and I never wore them skin tight.

We weren't allowed to wear pants when I went to school.  And the boys couldn't wear jeans.

Flats are my friends.  I admire the women who can wear mile-high heels.  Heels and pantyhose do wonders for legs.  (Heels and feet?  Not so good.)

But I walk like a flamingo in heels so I avoid them.

Pants just make more sense to me.  When I was a kid, girls were not allowed to wear them in school.

Winters in Chicago were grim.  I learned to wear heavy stockings.

Like I said previously, I'm old.  I look old, heck, I feel old.  My hair is partially gray and I have wrinkles.

As long as I am clean and neat--which is getting to be harder to accomplish--that's all I care about at this point.  

I've never been "fashionable", I sure am not about to try and start now.  Besides when I was young and tried, I looked ridiculous.  

I finally am to the point in my life that I can accept who I am and what I look like.

I wish it didn't take so long.  Wouldn't it be great if it happened prior to puberty?

I was an Art minor.

My instructors asked me why my sketchbooks were always full of cat drawings.

Clearly, they didn't own cats.

I think that constantly.  

But I probably would have ended up in jail.  Or dead broke.

I wouldn't be sitting here, that's for sure.

I’m not willing to go grey yet. I have long hair and I have no plans to cut it short anytime soon. Too many bad memories from childhood. I don’t think I could handle the grow out to grey with long hair.

I went back to short in nursing school because we had the most draconian hair policies and no way could I put it up in a bun. I had to cut it super short, above the collar. More short hair trauma. 😭 I even LOOK better with longer hair.

I was trapped in denim for decades.  Jeans, skirts, jackets, shirts, trench coat, purses, shoes, caps, hats...

Now that I've weaned myself off the stuff, I feel so much better.
