I was going about my errands yesterday and knew the years were starting to catch up with me. It was time for a haircut. My hairdresser's little shop is one of those places where there's always someone laughing or discussing one of those universal facts. What did I learn? Well, the subject was cataracts...it seems that Sue's (the proprietor) Mom recently had the surgery to relieve her of cataracts. When the patient arrived home, of course she went to the mirror to 'see' the outcome. She was shocked! Her first words were "Oh my goodness, this surgery gave me wrinkles around my eyes!"
I laughed 'til I had tears in my own eyes...and casually glanced over at the lady who had just vacated the chair I was sitting in. I noticed that she was wearing such a nice coat. Then I realized that it was very similar to mine. I commented, "Hey, I have a coat just like yours." The lady took a long look at her coat...and burst out in hilarious laughter! She was walking out the door with my coat and didn't even notice! Those wrinkles are catching up with me! My theory is that I get MORE every time I walk into my hairdresser's shop! |

Personally, I look much better when I take off my glasses. No wrinkles at all, that I can see!
