Flash 55 Friday - Another Year Older and Deeper in Debt - October 1, 2010


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!

  1. 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.

    I 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.
