Flash 55 Friday - Another Year Older and Deeper in Debt - October 1, 2010
I'm looking at the wrinkle creams,
And frowning at their price,
Those within my budget,
Really promise nothing nice.
My hair is turning grayer,
And I've gained a pound or two,
But Sunday I'll be sixty-six,
So what's a girl to do?
I think I'll have a cheer,
I made it through another year!

Congrats and celebrate. I can relate to the year 66 reflections. I shall hit that point in two weeks. I'm glad to be alive and hope the good will outweigh the bad and the ugly. Break out the bubbly and enjoy.

ReplyDeleteI like the AHA acids off eBay from Shimmer Cosmetics, and they are NOT expensive. I use the 23%. Want to buy some more - I've run out.
