Went to the dentist today for my bi-yearly teeth cleaning appointment. Always an activity I look forward to, not! Oh well, it's all part of the maintenance which I write about frequently.
Keeping the teeth clean, polished and germ free is just what ya got to do to stay healthy. Of course I needed a set of x-rays, I swear every time I visit that office I'm paying for more then just the teeth cleaning.
Anyway the dentist says I have the beginnings of a cavity. Really? How does a woman, days away from turning 50, have a cavity! Oh the joy's of maintenance!
My routine has now become so extensive and involved that it takes me two days to get my act together to be presentable! Damn when did this all happen?
We are attending a friend's 50th Birthday party tonight so it's off to the hair salon for perfect curls with a slight up-do, it's off to the manicure shop for cuticle cutting and fresh nail polish, it's off to the cosmetic counter for fresh
new sparkling lip gloss... sometimes I'm more exhausted prepping for the party, then I am from attending our soirees (ha-ha).
No one ever said getting older would be easy, but damn this is a battle. I feel like I'm at war with my bulge, gray hair and everything else in between!
Well, don't you worry I'm going to WIN this battle if it kills me!
Wow, it's a lot of work to maintain this face & body of mine! It's hair color, new weaves, tinting eyebrows, new moisturizers & cosmetics... just keeping up with everything can be overwhelming! And the more years that are piled on, the more work this maintaining becomes.
I mean it used to be that the expression "keeping up with the Jones'" meant you had to achieve and strive for everything everyone else has! Well that's just nonsense, the only thing I'm keeping up with is myself!
And it takes a lot of time, effort, resources, and energy! I'm exhausted with just getting myself ready for the weekend (ha-ha).
Manicure & pedicure, blow-dry, eyelash extensions, hair color, shopping, accessorizing.... when did it become such a struggle to just maintain!
