And then it happened... I graduated... and I went to college... and then I couldn't imagine graduating ... and then being out in the world... on my own. Me. Wow.
I owned a lot of bridesmaids dresses back then. (And some were funny looking, I must say.)
That tells you I had a lot of good friends, but no serious boyfriend.
I couldn't imagine having a husband. And if and when I did I knew I would never ever let him see me without makeup.
What a funny person I was.
And I remember thinking about the year 2000, and wondering if I'd still be alive, and if I was I'd be two years away from 50! And then I'd BE 50. Me!
And now I'm 60. And I'm still me. And I'm married to a man whom I'm so comfortable with that I let him see me without makeup the very first week we were married. And he told me I didn't look that much different. I think that was a compliment.
Where am I going with this?
Do I have to go someplace?
Well, here is where I'll go (since her birthday made me think of all of the above):
Today is Laurie Bargsley's 50th birthday!!!
Here is her precious Facebook profile pic....
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LAURIE!!
I really enjoyed my fifties, I hope you do, too!
And to think,
YOU MADE IT!
And you're still you, aren't you?!?!
(That's so wonderful, that you're still wonderful YOU, Laurie.)
I HOPE YOU'RE HAVING A FANTASTIC DAY!!!!
And you're still you, aren't you?!?!
