Apparently, this is how I look to my daughter.
After having lunch with a woman I used to work with, this is the conversation I had with my daughter in the car on the way home:
Tess: Mama, that lady Julie is beautiful.
Me: You think so?
Tess: Yep. You’re not beautiful, but you’re kinda pretty. Mostly you’re okay.
And so it goes. I’m mostly okay, which I guess is better than mostly lacking.
It might have something to do with the fact that I just cut off 9 inches of my hair. It could be that I’m starting to look really old. Or it could just be that my daughter has very high standards. Which is good, I applaud that.
So now, I’m going to drink my sorrows away. And maybe get a facial this weekend.
Milky Way Martini
2 oz vanilla vodka
2 oz chocolate liqueur
1 oz Irish cream
Combine all ingredients in a shaker, and serve in a cocktail glass without ice.
I am a little slow at reading your blog lately, but that just made my day!!! I will take Tess to my house any day of the week. I am loving her compliments!!! By the way…..you are not looking old, in fact you are looking quite awesome these days!!!! I loved having lunch with you and your kiddos and think that we need to make that happen a little more often!! I hope you have a great day!!!
