NOT a trick question: How old do I look? (and don't make fun of the picture, i just took a wee nap before taking it, and after i post this, i'll be taking another nap!)

No joke, today at church, someone asked if I was a senior...to which i said, "no, i already graduated." then his friend asks me, "what? you're in highschool?" i proceeded to tell them that i graduated highschool, i graduated college, and i have been out working for five years.

so, tell me the truth (and i'm not old enough that i have a complex about my age quite yet, though i can't believe i'll be 27 within two weeks), how old do i look???

looks matter a great deal! you want to socially look young for as long as you can. professionally, you want people to respect you and how you look aids quite a bit... like, can you take accounting recommendations seriously from the face above??? well, i'd smile a little less...but you get the gist. these are things to consider when you get ready for work in the morning or go out on the weekends...

and i want to know how old i look, not criticisms on how i look...my fragile ego will save that discussion for another day. :)

now...nap time!

you look like.... the perfect age. the age where you are incredibly wise yet still have a full life to look forward to. the age where you are mature enough to date older men but still drive those young ones crazy with desire. the age where professionals take you seriously but secretly curse you because you are young enough to be their daughter. you are the best age ever! ;-)
