I've surrendered to my age

Yesterday after work I hit the mall to pick up my new 7 jeans (a ‘gift’) which had to be altered (shortened, of course!) – While there, I figured I would treat myself to a few new outfits for our upcoming Vegas trip. After striking out in my usual stores, and deciding that I did not want to spend a lot of money on cute, trendy, ‘going out’ clothes that I would probably only wear in Vegas, I decided to venture into Forever 21. Well, let’s just say I was easily the oldest person in the store and my-oh-my was I out of place! After hunting around, I found 2 dresses to try on – The first which was so short and tight, I had trouble getting it on and off – I’m hoping they don’t have cameras in the dressing rooms or someone got a good laugh. I had to literally fight with the dress to get it off, over my head! One of my earrings even shot off in the process, into the room next door. Yes, quite a debacle. After that ordeal, the thought crossed my mind that I am not quite forever 21. Not ready to give up though, I hit another store, which I don’t even remember the name of – I wanted to laugh out loud as I walked through – ridiculous clothing (for someone my age!). I guess it’s time to come to terms with my age and admit that I’m almost 30!
