My Age (Revisited)
I apologize in advance for beating everyone down with the whole age bit, but something happened this weekend that was yet another reminder of my quickly approaching 30’s.
Friday night, G. & I took our friend Myna Sonou to dinner for her birthday.
As usual, G. didn’t get carded, but this time, neither did I. The waitress carded Ms. Myna, and then remarked that she must card anyone who looks under the age of 35.
35?!? That’s a first for me.
Do I really look that old? I get mixed responses… when I don’t wear any makeup, I’m told I look like a high schooler. When I do, others can usually guess my age. But Wow… 35. As a woman, that’s a slap in the face when you’re not even 30.
At least I spent this weekend feeling young. G. & I spent the gorgeous Saturday afternoon running around V-town on our bikes… and woke up this afternoon at 3! It’s nice to feel like you don’t have a care in the world every once in awhile. I must do this more often.

okay if you look like you’re 35, i must look like i’m 30. that person is stupid. sorry, jefe, you look like you could be older….it must be the whole facial hair thing….
well, when i had my tv “debut”, the CEO of Trader Vic’s said that if I came by the restaurant, they would be able to make me a virgin mai tai…i just laughed and said, I’m 26. he told me to stay looking young, i guess i can’t really help that though.
manay, you don’t look a day over 24 to me…which means that i’m still in my early 20’s!!!! hee hee hee

Jamie you don’t look a day over 33 1/3rd. hahahaha. Joke! Really! Don’t hit me.
I can’t remember the last time I got carded at a restaurant. Hell, I don’t get carded at the grocery store when I buy liquor. Now … once they don’t card you at a club/bar (and you don’t know the door staff), that’s when it’s another level.
