A very interesting thing happened to me the other night. Something so interesting and unexpected my first reaction was a big old belly laugh.
I got hit on. Not only did I get hit on, the person who did it thought I was 23!! (I have to give major props to wrinkle cream, eye gel, concealer, genetics and a really great Facebook profile pic for that one) Nevertheless, it provided this old girl with an ego boost.
Before I go any further I will say that Ryan tells me all the time that I'm beautiful and I know he means it. I appreciate all his compliments but sometimes it feels good to be noticed by others.
It started with a comment I responded to on my sister's Facebook page. Her friend commented back and also added "btw, Heather, you are a smoking hot chick. kudos." Like I said, my first reaction was to laugh. Smoking hot? Me? Cute? Yes. Hilarious? Yes. Hot? Only in August on a day with 100% humidity. My second reaction was to scroll back through the comments to see if there was another Heather. Surprisingly there was not. So I told him thanks for making an old lady's day. That is when he said I couldn't be more than 23. My head was swelling to epic proportions now. Luckily for the youngster who was showering me with sweet talk, Ryan is past the jealous stage in our relationship and was as much amused by this as I was. The poor kid was mortified when he realized I was married and was very apologetic to Ryan for hitting on me and it made the whole situation even more amusing.
Now I'm sure that had my sweet talker seen me in person that night, sitting on the couch in my sweats, no makeup and jacked up hairdo he wouldn't have thought I was smokin'. But I have to admit I felt like it. The point is everyone loves to be noticed. It makes you smile bigger, walk with your head held higher and a bit more sass in your ass. Overall, it lets you know that when you think you're getting old and raggedy, Mama's still got it.
