This morning, I was running some Saturday morning errands and enjoying the company of Baby Z.  After visiting a garage sale, we stopped at the drug store.  As we walked from the parking lot up to the store entrance, Baby Z. caught the eye of an elderly woman who walking to her car.  The lady smiled at Z. and said, "Well, look at you!  Are you going to help Mommy with some shopping?"  I think Z. was a little confused by the comment because she did not answer.  As for me, I figured I had better things to do than to have an argument with an old lady, so I groaned through a forced smile and said, "Uh....yeah."

People who know me well know  that this is an almost regular occurrence these days.  I figure I must look like a really ugly woman.

Maybe I really should think about getting a haircut.  Maybe.
