Anita - good list! On #19 (and I don't know how old you are), in the state of WA if you're over 60, you can take a class if there is space with it costing very little, all the way down to free.
ReplyDeleteOK, you're a friend of Frankie and Mikie. You're probably not quite there, but I am and I'm going to get my PhD in astronomy in my 6th decade!
#35 - there are quick out the door looks for makeup. Frankie could probably give you good pointers. A big help is a cream eyeshadow which you can do with either one or two colors. If nothing else, mascara & lipstick will make a big difference. 2 minutes and you're good to go!
