When I was thirteen and looked about seven, people used to say, “It’s a gift! You’ll appreciate it when you’re forty!” And they were right. Because today I turn thirty-nine and darned if I don’t look a day over thirty-five.
Of course, I am going gray and certain parts of my physique aren’t as upwardly mobile as they used to be. But these are things that can be fixed with cosmetics and the right kind of underwear. My only complaint, really, is my feet, which seem to be getting wider.
But I am very happy. I’m so grateful for the Amazing P-Dawg, my children, my friends and my family. And I am grateful for you, dear readers of RimaRama. I love writing here, and I love that you stop by to read what I’ve written. Sometimes you even give me a Facebook “like” or a comment, which is like crack/cocaine to me.
My children presented me with fabulous gifts this year: my daughter a $100 gift card to the “Style-N-Go” beauty salon up in her bedroom, and my son a $100 gift card to the “Zip and Go Plaza.” There is some confusion as to what goods and services may be procured at the Zip-N-Go, but I have a two o’clock appointment at the Style-N-Go salon today.
I’m gonna get a pedicure.

Happy Happy Day!! And you know I think you are right, my feet feel like they are getting wider as I get older. That sucks.
Ha ha. My feet seem to be getting longer as I age. And let’s just be clear about why this is a problem – I was starting at a size 10 1/2 already.
Those opening times at the Beauty Salon are looking mighty Swiss to me. Although, then they would have to mean that half the time the owner of the salon just puts up a sign that the place is closed for no reason.
How delightful! The Hours of Operation for ” Style and Go” are so creatively done, can’t wait to hear what happens, and ” Zip and Go” – well that will be a wonderful surprise! You are raising some thoughtful children.
Almost forgot-
Su gimimo diena!
I love the pic. Vija puts John Roberts to shame. Enjoy your pedi!
Happy Happy belated birthday! Hope your pedicure was amazing yesterday. Did she throw in a manicure or paraffin treatment as well?
