So after seeing that “unwanted visitor” on my face (THE WRINKLE – please refer to previous blog story for details), I decided to take action. I got a facial.  (By the way,  I’m not crazy about facials.  It’s hard for me to sit still for a long period of time.)  Nonetheless, the cause was a good one. 

I woke up at 6am this morning and headed off to my 7:30am appointment.  I needed to be the FIRST customer of the day. It made me feel that the faster I got there, the easier it would be to erase it.

So, I will say it was a very relaxing experience.  The creams, the mask, the massage on my face….all a treat. Did it delete the wrinkle? NO. It’s STILL there.  But it did smooth it out a bit.  To the point that it doesn’t bother me anymore. Let’s just say that it’s not as PRONOUNCED anymore. 

Beth even commented that my face looks “fresher”.  She’s even thinking of getting a facial with my lady.  I told her, “you don’t need one.”   Beth is 32 and I’m 42.  She needs NO facial.. She’s still producing plenty of collagen!!!!! I envy her skin!

Today I woke up and saw another wrinkle on my face…..and I  am “SURE” it was not there yesterday. Then I realized, AGAIN,  that I am 42 years old and I better get used to it.  (LOL) 

It got me thinking about getting older and how differently women deal with it.  Now that I am in my 40’s, I am seeing things I NEVER saw.  Feeling things I NEVER felt. And yes, coping with the fact that MENOPAUSE is the next BIG TORNADO to come attack my body. 

So how to cope?  Do I laugh? Or do I cry?  I personally love to laugh and so laugh I will.   I kind of figure, I feel good about myself.  I take care of myself.  I am married to a YOUNGER man and yes he keeps me in “LINE.” (IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN!) And I love life.  So with that in mind, I guess I just have to accept the inevitable.  And once in a while look at pictures of me when I was 20 and say “that was then, this is now.”

So tell me, How do you cope?

This is my favorite time of year!  On the eve before Halloween, my kids are so excited to be dressing up.  And as I see their faces light up with joy, my heart is filled with so much love for them.  To be a mom is like being a kid once again.  You get the chance to live your childhood through their eyes.  You get the chance to see how “special” life is.  And today as I watched my girls dress up in their favorite “fairy tale” costumes for school, I realized how lucky I am to have them.  

I wish you all a wonderful weekend with your friends, family and loved ones.

This is the first time I have every blogged.  I am very, very new to this “form” of communicating.  So for my first “blog” I thought I would send a few pictures of Beth and me getting ready for our morning show.

And please focus on the cute little dog that I am holding. I want everyone to know that not only am I a proud mom of two wonderful girls, but I also just adopted “Ruby”.  She is our newest family member.  A beautiful and sweet toy poodle.  Beth actually traveled with my entire family to Punta Gorda, Florida a few weeks ago to pick her up from a breeder. It was a family road trip filled with fun and lots of singing!!!!! (Beth is the singer.  Not me!!!!!)
