LOOK CAREFULLY

Do you see it...the make-up, the curled hair, the clean smell (imagine)...I just wanted to document something that ALMOST never happens. I do take showers (of course), and I do blow dry my hair, and I do put make-up on when I HAVE TO, but a miracle of sorts happened here...all three happened on the same day.
Now, you must be asking yourself "why" is this an issue...
because here is the confession...it is my birthday Friday (guess how old I am...I'm not really sure; I am horrible with numbers, but that is a different post).
Why does that have anything to do with this picture?
Because Jace was home and his friends where coming over, and they were bringing their cute and young girlfriends over and I was feeling "old (er)". 
So, I did it all...so that I wouldn't feel so old around those young, non-sagging girls...
And just to be truthful...I will show you the clean me with no make-up, and no curled hair on my birthday, because there has to be somewhere where I can be "free" to be me! And I figure the internet is safer than a few teen age girls in my house.
