This is about wrinkles. No, not wrinkles in my clothes. I gave up ironing several years ago and have not looked back.
This is about those other wrinkles. The ones that you get up one morning, look in the mirror, and say where in the heck did those come from.

I always loved this photo because you couldn't see my freckles |
My best friend came up with what we thought was a great idea. SANDPAPER!!! If sandpaper could take rough patches off of wood, it was bound to be able to get rid of my freckles. I was rummaging around in my father's workshop when he caught me and asked what I was doing. I proudly shared my idea with him. That put an end to that.

The other day I had this conversation with my mom.
Mom: You have such pretty skin, Laura. What do you use on it?
Me: Sandpaper
Mom: Hmmm!!!
I was sure she was going to say "pass the sandpaper". She may be onto me.
Wrinkles = wisdom. Be proud of them!

I think I must be getting pretty wise. :)
DeleteLOL- You may be onto the latest thing there, Laura! xo Diana
ReplyDeleteI think you're right, Diana :)
DeleteI don't mind wrinkles, but no sagging please! lol
ReplyDeleteI am not particularly fond of sagging either. I'm thinking the sandpaper might not work for that.
DeleteOh the joys of getting "mature" Love this post, and I'm off to the hardware store for some sandpaper too!
ReplyDeleteI would go with the extra fine LOL
DeleteLaura,
ReplyDeleteThis is great, can we buy it in bulk for a discount! Lol!

As soon as I get Walmart like discounts I'll let you know :)
DeleteToo funny! I can't believe you were really going to use sandpaper on your freckles. Thank goodness your dad intervened in time. Ha Ha. I wish removing wrinkles was really as simple as using sandpaper though.
ReplyDeleteWouldn't it be great if we could remove wrinkles that easily, Kelly.
DeleteHahaha, Laura! Embrace those freckles...now they cover things up! xo, T.
ReplyDeleteThey blend right in with the age spots LOL
DeleteMy CB Handle when we were traveling cross country with our camper back in the 70's was FRECKLES!!
ReplyDeleteHated them. Never could get rid of them.
Not too fond of the wrinkles either. :(
I'm grateful today for GOOD MAKEUP!!
My freckles have pretty much faded on my face, but now when I see freckles I think they look great.
DeleteMuch cheaper than those expensive wrinkle creams (that don't work anyway), that's for sure! Thanks for the chuckle today.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome, Melanie :)
DeleteWhat a cute story. I woke up this morning and after looking in the mirror - I quickly looked away in denial. What is up with my puffy eye lids?
ReplyDeleteYou have beautiful features and whether it's freckles or wrinkles you're beautiful all the way through.
Thank you, Holly. I do the same thing with the puffy eyes.
