. . . I am turning into my grandmother. I realized this as I walked out of the bathroom after my shower this morning with no less than three hair products in my hair and two different lotions on. All before I got dressed, did my hair and put on my makeup. If I count the hair gel and hair spray I used when I did my hair, I now have five products on it.
My favorite grandmother was a classy woman. Think Grace Kelly or Jackie Kennedy type class. She never went out without makeup, nice clothing and nails done. I remember sitting and watching her get ready to go out. It usually took her at least two hours to get ready for whatever event her and Grandpa were attending. She always had all sorts of lotions, perfumes, and such all over her dressing table. Sweats? Never! Go out without makeup? Never! She colored her hair (a very light tint, not some really dark color) until the day she died. That was Grandma.
My mom is very easy going. She rarely does makeup anymore, doesn't color her hair, dresses nicely when she must but otherwise is always in comfortable clothes.
Apparently I am high maintenance just like Grandma. I would love to be just like her. She was an awesome lady. Guess I need to own it.
Anyone else turning into someone besides their mother as they age?

I really, really miss her and yes, I'm just like her.
