I think sometimes, no matter what I do, I still look the same. I guess you'd describe it as as the bag lady look. Hence, Betsy Wetsy has taken the place of my picture. If makes me feel good to look at her as she used to be my favorite 53 years ago.
I put eye makeup on for special occassions, like going into the school, to a meeting, that sort of thing. I used to think I looked good until I caught a glimpse of myself, even with the retinol and anti-age creams, ther is only so much to be done. So if my husband, who has given up on me , happens to get a big fat paycheck, or better still, the lottery, I'll get a face lift and a tummy tuck and be a flygirl! (I dunno, I made it up).
