I had just finished a nice, relaxing bubble bath--went on a few more adventures with Perseus Jackson. I'm up to the Titan Lord. I love this series, btw. Just another way I'm trying to hang onto to my youth.....
In front of the mirror I sat at my dressing table, lovingly smoothing the Olay on my face, "Wrinkles begone," I silently chanted to myself, "wrinkles begone." Upward and around, in a circular motion--per instructions-I massaged the liquid gold into my face.
I leaned in for a closer look--seems age is effecting my eyes as well--when I noticed the most peculiar concern. Even though I had just gotten out of the bath, thinking I had washed myself rather well, I noticed a faint darkish area on my neck, just beneath my chin, about 2-3 inches across
Huh!
I lift the chin in an attempt to rub away the 'dirt', but, it kinda goes away. Lower the chin.....there is is again.
I lower my chin, giving a straight-forward look into the mirror. To my horror....I had..... a wattle...... in progress. A WATTLE!!! And I am not a turkey!!
What the......??? C'mon, I'm only just now accepting those fine lines around my eyes, and then hit with the whole knee thing just not too long ago. Really. What the.......???
Honestly, I'll admit I've notice this 'wattle' in recent pictures of myself, but thus far convinced myself it was a trick of the light, or just a bad angle. <sigh> No denying it now that I've looked real close at it! Baby Wattle.
Immediately I start doing those chin/neck exercises...flex those muscles, tone that turkey neck sister! Hey, I can do those and kegels at the same time. Cool! ;-)
Maybe I've been neglecting my neck? Maybe it hasn't gotten it's face share of Olay? From then..and now...and ever more into the future, I will slather, frantically, my Night of Olay Firming Cream, a Christmas gift from my best friend. I can only imagine what I would like if I didn't have my facial nectar. Talk about some horror!! Because I have and do notice results with Olay. It does improve the look of skin. <There's my shameless product plug!>
Between those chin exercises and more Olay, maybe I can stave off that waddle for a couple more years?? Please!!! I just don't want an old wattle hanging from my neck. At least not yet! Is that too much to ask? I really need more time!
Lemme' just say it again? At least one hundred thousand more times? Getting Old Sucks!!
hahahaha Amen Sister!
