While We're Young And Beautiful 4/12/2008

Myspace ate my blog!  ARGH!  Life goes on…

I dropped by my mom's school Thursday to give her my niece's birthday present.  They're meeting my sister and her family this weekend.  Figured I'd save some postage.  I walked down the hall towards my mom's room and another teacher who was standing in the hallway turned to me just as I got to her room and said, "I knew someone young and beautiful was coming down the hall by the sound of the walk."  I blushed, thanked her, and went on. 

 

Then I got to thinking, yes, I do wear heels and dress for work.  Not only does it lend credibility to my role in my office or on the off chance when I've been pulled into a meeting in the hospital or doctor's office, but it also gives me confidence.  I am allowed to wear scrubs and tennis shoes in my position, however I choose not to.  I feel frumpy in them (I am not a size 4) and I feel as if I am dressed down too much for me. 

 

I got a new haircut last week and new makeup recently.  It's amazing what that can do as well.  And I have the love of a man that makes me feel beautiful when I feel absolutely at my scummiest.  THAT is something that no haircut, makeup, or new pair of shoes can replace.  And I want to continue to look my best.  I want to strive for that.  Complacency is the devil for relationships.  If I can look my best for work, I can certainly look my best for Bill.

"We're Young And Beautiful"

While we're young and beautiful,
Kiss me like you mean it,
Treat me like I'm special,
Cover me with sweetness,
Cause a time will come,
When we're not so young, and beautiful,
While we're young and beautiful,
Living free and easy,
Here without a worry,
Dancing in our bare feet,
Cause when the summer's done,
We might not be so young, and beautiful.

[CHORUS:]
It's a crazy ride,
And baby, you and I,
Are keeping our sweet love alive,
Tonight, while we're young and beautiful.

While we're young and beautiful,
We'll party down on Main street,
Wearing next to nothing,
Feeling every heart beat,
Having fun, while we're still young and beautiful.

[CHORUS:]
It's a crazy ride,
And baby, you and I,
Are keeping our sweet love alive,
Tonight, while we're young and beautiful.

Beautiful,
Beautiful,
Young and beautiful,
Beautiful,
Beautiful,
Young and beautiful.

[CHORUS:]
It's a crazy ride,
And baby, you and I,
Are keeping our sweet love alive,
Tonight, while we're young and beautiful.
Oh, so beautiful.

While we're young and beautiful,
Cover me with sweetness,
While we're young and beautiful,
Kiss me like you mean it,
Like you mean it,
Like you mean it,
Like you mean it,
Like you do,
Oh, yeah,
Oh so beautiful.
