What Senior Discount!!!

What is this world coming to I was out with my mother and daughter today at a Zeller restaurant. We were talking about all kinds of stuff and having a great time. When we were done my mom left first because she had to pick up her foster children at the dentist around the corner then she'd come back to get my daughter and I. So we got our stuff together and went to the cash. Chatting away about nothing. The cashier was nice ask me what my tee shirt said so I showed her what it said. It says " DO YOU HEAR ME NOW!." She laughed away I just smiled the novelty wore off a long time ago.


I think I've show it a million times over the last three years since I got it. I don't mind but I don't get a kick out of anymore. So she put my daughter through first because she wanted a smoke of course. Then she put me through and then she hesitated and then asked" Do you get the discount?!!!!!". The discount I say to myself. I'm am not 55 years old I'm am 42 I wanted to shout at this woman!!!!! My daughter heard this and stopped in her tracks! Looked at me and starting giggling. The she decided to wait for me with this gawd awful grin from ear to ear. I sorta had my mouth hanging open so flys and such could just fly in a have a hay day since my mouth was on the floor!!

I was in shock because just a few weeks ago a woman I was talk in to couldn't believe I had a daughter that was 20 years old she thought I was in my 30's. This awful feeling started to come over me. Then I starting to doubt everyone and everything?!?! Did this cashier think because my mother gets the discount and she's 59 that I should! Not sure but me being stupid I didn't take it. It was a seniors discount and I would of saved on my meal but my freaken pride took over and I said NOOOOOOOO!!!! I was so upset at the fact that this woman would even think for one second that I was even close to 35 to begin with hehehe.


I kept my cool until I was out of range from this woman and freaked out. My daughter thought this was the funniest thing she every heard. I said to her do I look over 55 and she said "No mom if I met you on the street I wouldn't of thought you were 40 yet." 'At this point I didn't trust anyone opinion. I said "Mel your just saying that cause you don't want me to freak out anymore." She said " Mom I tell you the truth I tell you when you look like crap ect so why would I lie about the way you look." This didn't convince me. So my mother pulls up and I jump in the van told her what happen she burst out laughing at my expense of course. She said "Why didn't you take the discount anyways who cares what she thought you would of saved money silly!".

First of all I told her she wasn't funny and I didn't appreciate her laughing at me. She and my daughter both burst out laughing at me. My daughter said "You should see your face!". I said some more then I just shut up cause this was a losing battle. And within minutes we were off and running on another subject. When there was a pause in the conversation I went off into my own world thinking about this discount stuff.

I thought to myself for the last 3 months I don't go out without makeup when going out. For the last 3 years I've been so unhappy it seemed that I didn't care if I brushed my hair I did brush it. But man I thought many time why use the little bit of energy that I had left to even lift a brush threw my hair. I looked a mess somedays I know I look 100. Sad fact but true lol

I have grown my nails long and wear nail polish now. Yes I wear nail polish. Not for long thou back to short nails in April back to work and transplanting and stuff.
So I'm enjoying them now. I figure I'd take baby steps in making myself feel better about myself. My face has been dry with the winter and I was complaining to my husband about my skin and he said to make you feel better I get you whatever cream you want to make you feel better. I thought this was really nice of him so I went to a store that had someone that knew what they were doing and he bought me the cream. I've been using that and get this the it's by Marcelle and it' is anti wrinkle and firming cream. My gawd I have to bring it back it doesn't work!!!! Lol

So now that I had time to think about this I was so dumb. I should of taken the discount and chalked up as another great entry for my blog!!! But noooooooo me being me got upset and said NO! because of my damn pride. FU@# pride I say save money. So I'm thinking we are going into the city in a few weeks I think I want to go back to the same place but this time sit on the other side and ask for my discount wonder if I will get it!!!!

Anywho want to save money lie I tell yah just lie. I figure if everyone needs to save money just agree with them. And walk away with pride that you got away with saving a few dollars. I know I will the next time
