I Can Never Be An Old Lady

Yesterday as I was walking into the Sports Arena for the lecture by Bob Woodward it was drizzling. I was watching all the little old ladies get dropped off at the front door or making their way through the parking lot under their umbrellas. All of them were messing with their hair, fearful the rain would do whatever it is that rain does to your hair when you have a style. Frankly, I can never tell the difference in how people’s hair looks unless it’s dripping, but I seem to be the only woman on the planet who can’t discern this.

Anyway, at that moment I thought… “Wow, I can’t ever be a little old lady. That just isn’t going to work for me.”

After the lecture Greg told me he had a photo of Woodward that had me in it. For some reason, it just struck me as hilarious that I look like Cousin It compared to everyone around me. Naturally, I’m posting it so you can chuckle as well.

Everytime I see a photo showing the back of my head I’m reminded of this funky cowlick thing I have that makes it look like the part in my hair goes halfway down my head. I’m just going to blame it on the rain.

I think the next time I need a quick Halloween costume I’m just going to add some goggley eyes to the back of my head.
