Mildred's Makeover

Just so everyone won't think my life is totally bleak all the time, my daughter gave me a makeover not long ago.  This old gal can still rock it when I have to! Unfortunately, the times I have to rock it aren't that often anymore. After she did this to me, she instructed me to go to Lowe's and pick up a contractor (I don't do bars or online dating and I desperately need a lot of home repairs done.) She assumed I'd work something out in trade. To that thought, I just rolled my eyes. Aren't I getting a little too old for those fun and games? Besides, is the barter system still used in this country? If so, what's the going rate for home repairs?

    1. Doesn't he want to go for a little vacay to Florida? When my daughter did this makeover, I told her I looked like a drag queen...lol She had the audacity to slap me! Who slaps their mother? I guess I would have had to have had more make up on, right?

    1. Maybe I'll put the spanx back on and get my daughter back over here for a little refresher and then off I go into the wild blue yonder...oh shit, who am I kidding? If I did that, I'd get myself in trouble! :)

  4. My goodness you scrub up well.
    I am slinking into the bushes understanding (again) why I have to pay for the jobs I need/want done.

    1. Well, thank you, my dear! Isn't it amazing what a little make up and a hairbrush will do? And some deodarant...lol and mouthwash! Hey, trust me I'm better at beating the bushes than I am at picking up contractors.

  5. You look like a million bucks, Mildred! Any contractor at Lowe's would be offering you his tool belt in a flash!

    1. But I don't want him to offer me his tool belt! I want him to wear the tool belt and do the work himself! lol

  6. Isn't she lovely? (did you hear Stevie Wonder singing that to you?)
    You look fabulous. You should go fetch yourself a carpenter at least until the work is done! Yesterday my husband was given a large coffee and fresh from the oven cinnamon rolls. He probably didn't wish to comem home 😁

    1. Hey, didn't I tell you Stevie wrote that song about me?

      I think it's take a little more than a cinnamon roll to keep your husband from coming home. Maybe a cake or a casserole! Ha!

    2. i'm sunk if it is a casserole! We can then both troll Lowes. 🤣

    1. Retired? I need a 35 year old! OMG! I almost choked typing that. I think I'm going straight to Hell or someplace suitable for people like me.

  9. Wow! The problem with picking up a contractor that way is you might get someone who isn't as interested in the work as he is in the pay.
