Did I Get This Old?"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Not that I&#8217;m that old, but still!\u00a0 I just colored my hair a few weeks ago.\u00a0 I&#8217;ve colored my hair since I was in high school.\u00a0 I used to do it because I like to change my hair color all the time.\u00a0 I tell my husband he&#8217;s lucky, he gets variety.\u00a0 Even though he&#8217;s only been married to me, he&#8217;s been able to tell people his wife has blonde, brown and\/or red hair.\u00a0 I&#8217;ve had it all.\u00a0 I&#8217;m blonde at the moment, but the thing I noticed the other day is my hair has sooo much grey in it!\u00a0 When did this happen, and why didn&#8217;t the hair color 2 weeks ago kill them?\u00a0 I stand there in the mirror staring, tweezers in hand, plucking each and every one of them out.\u00a0 I said to my husband once when he asked me what I was doing, <em>&#8220;I have sooo many grey hairs in the front of my hair!<\/em>&#8221;\u00a0 To which he replied, <em>&#8220;you have a lot in the back too, you just can&#8217;t see them&#8221;.<\/em>\u00a0 Thanks.\u00a0 He is 6 years older than me, and he doesn&#8217;t have any grey hairs.\u00a0 He looks younger than me.\u00a0 I started looking at old pictures of myself from when I was probably 20, and guess what, I look so young!\u00a0 Not surprising, but there were no dark circles under my eyes, and my face looked tight and smooth.\u00a0 Now, I have dark circles and I swear my face is puffy and droopy!\u00a0 Painting a pretty picture here aren&#8217;t I?\u00a0 I&#8217;m really not that old, but when people try to guess my age, they always guess 3-5 years older than what I am!\u00a0 WUWT???\u00a0 I&#8217;ve come to realize that I now put on make up to look younger!\u00a0 When I was younger, I&#8217;d put on makeup to look older!\u00a0 I should go on that show &#8220;10 Years Younger.&#8221;\u00a0 The only problem is when you have to stand in that see through booth and have people pick you apart.\u00a0 I couldn&#8217;t do that, I&#8217;d end up sticking my tongue out or making an obscene gesture at them.\u00a0 I&#8217;d be the first contestant that got kicked off the show for attacking the people on the street!\u00a0 Oh well, I guess I just need to accept the fact that I&#8217;m getting old, I mean what&#8217;s the alternative?\u00a0 Look like Joan Rivers or have those humongous Goldie Hawn lips, no thanks I find that much scarier!<\/p>\n<p style=\"TEXT-ALIGN: center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bluemonkeybutt.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/03\/wildenstein2l_468x662.jpg\"><img
