[QUOTE="busywend, post: 191374, member: 391"] TM, I am soooo there with you! I, too, just got my first pair of glasses. Fortunately, only for reading. A couple years ago I had many scenarios where people mistook me for being older. Shopping with a friend that is 8 years younger and the kid asked if I was her mother. yuck. Lady at the gym thought I was 50. I was 38. double yuck. My boyfriend told me he was attracted to the same friend above - because she is young. R U kidding me? (Yes, he realizes that was a mistake now! LOL!) I really started to feel bad about myself. Like it seriously affected me. To the point I had anxiety about it. Still do. I, too, cut my hair short a couple years ago. That was before all these incidents took place. Everyone LOVED it. I stuck with it for over a year. Then, I decided short hair was an 'older' person's thing and I wanted to go longer since it seemed younger. I have been at it for months. It is shoulder length now. My suggestion to you is to take a picture of yourself today. Find a few pictures of you through the years and gather them together. Decide what you want from looking at the pictures and figuring out what style suits you best. Or better yet - do one of those make over software programs that show how you will look with different hair styles. I am sure it looks cute! If husband likes it & you like it....keep it short! Duckie will get used to it. It was just a change for her. Don't take anything Duckie does or says personally for the next 15 years! LOL! by the way - I turn the big 40 this year. Family is planning a party. I really just want to hide somewhere! Particularly since I feel so old these days. What with the medical issues, too. [/QUOTE]
