How Not to Become an Old Biddy
« on: June 25, 2018, 10:17:00 pm »
Somehow I can't stop giggling at the title.

Quote
.....I remember thinking at some point that I hoped when I became an old lady, I’d be one of the nicer ones. Then, of course, it dawned on me that I was in the process of becoming the kind of older lady I would be, and I needed to start working on that now.

Now I am in my “middle years,” but with “old age” looming some time in the future (when exactly it starts keeps getting pushed back further and further 🙂 ), I’ve started to think in a more concentrated manner about becoming the right kind of older lady. So I thought I’d preach to myself a little bit in preparation. You’re welcome to read along. Keep in mind I am preaching to myself, not older ladies – that’s not my place.....

My husband's grandmother said that people tend to get hard as they age, and they should be vigilant to not let it happen.

I'm going for Red Green myself. I still have 30 or so years to work on that.

I have the 'not handsome' part down to a tee.

It is going to take a lot of work to get the 'handy' part down.

This is my role model, the woman I aspire to be.
