Because of extenuating circumstances I am house bound.
To relieve boredom, since sleep is not possible (stoopid Siamese cats and whiny Yorkie) I got in my make-up. Put the Yorkie in my lap. Sat in front of a mirror.
My make-up is mostly hand me downs from the lil’wrekker and old stuff I’ve had forever. It’s kinda messy because grandkids have played in it.
I apply it like I used to do when I cared what I looked like.
When I’m done I plug in the the curling iron (another hand me down). Play with in and make my hair wavy.
Man, I need a selfie of this. I look good!
I get what I think is a couple of good pix. And I edit them. (I’m good with editing tools)
I text them to granddaughter. She asked who that is? I tell her “it’s me Nana.” She texts back, “That’s not Nana, that lady is kinda pretty”
In a minute I get another text, it said “Mom said to tell you you look very pretty”
I text back “Thx”. One more text from her “Dad said you still look like a granny”
Well, poo!
I send a pix to the lil’wrekker. Her text to me said “Is that my old eyeshadow you’re using?” and “It doesn’t go with your coloring”
What the heck? We’re exactly the same color.
I text her “Thx alot!”. She says the look is too young for me, I need to act my age. Well, shit!

Moral of the story: Don’t send selfie texts to your loved ones. They’ll criticize. And you’ll always look like the ol’Granny that you are. To them.
I still think I look good:)
What’s the hubby got to say. Did his face brighten up?
Glad to hear you felt up to pampering yourself today. Maybe a dinner at a steakhouse is in order for you & Mr Wrecker?
Does Sonic sell steaks?
The big Wrek is at the deer camp. Plus he’s bigtime in the dog house.
There will be no date to a steakhouse.
:eek:
You deserve some extra corndogs.
You are so so right. Think I’ll get some tomorrow.
I won’t criticize. Try me.
An ol’Arky hillbilly like me knows when to keep her light under a bushel, Gato.
Can I have a peek? C’mon Beck, pleeeeease?
Imma really nice dude, just ask VOW
Look at my avatar. That’s me.
Dork gave me this sparkly cape! I added the crown. (It fits really well on my short haircut!)

You have the royal swagger ~VOW.
I bet glitter just falls everywhere when you walk around your realm.
K, you’re gonna have help out,
I use my phone, don’t have a working puter so the already small avatar pic is even tinier.
And my eyes have gotten bad over the last few years
Seriously, thats you?
Yes its my profile × 4, looking toward the right. Can you not pull the pic out and make it larger on your screen
I reckon so.
Ummm? Oh, yeah. My nose is pointing toward the right side of the screen.
Well, my new beauty routine lasted less than a day. I staggered down stairs to feed the cats earlier. I walked by a big mirror in my dining room and scared myself.:eek:
In true Halloween fashion I’m going with the scary look this week. Easier to maintain:)
The stuff on the floor? Um. Glitter. Okay, yeah, that’s glitter.
picks up yet another dead moth with a kleenex and throws in trash
~VOW
Those ain’t moths, they are butterflies who commited suicide in your wake. They can’t compete so, why live?
Then they are damn ugly butterflies!
