I haz it. Today. I rebelled just a bit.
When I drank my morning coffee, thought about my 4 court cases on the docket, I also thought about today being my very first time to have been eligible received "old age pension" from Social Security.
Since I am not one to go quietly into that good night, and most certainly AM one to rage, rage against the dying light, I decided to wear the shortest skirt I own, and to wear those strappy sandals with 4 " heels, and go off to court, glad my knees and ankles were up to it.
I went into the courtroom, visited with the lawyers, bailiff, court reporter, and told them about my birthday and old age pension opportunity, but pointed out my "crack whore pole dancer shoes" to show I was not giving in to the obvious.
For the rest of the morning, all I had to do was stick my foot out, point a toe, and everyone in the courtroom would start giggling.
I got advice not to walk fast, or turn too quickly, and my clients were the sweetest ones of the bunch, thanking me for dressing up.
"Crack whore dancer shoes" will be a description of every tacky pair of shoes I ever wear, so off to shop I go.
So far, getting old is pretty fun.
At least I am enjoying it as long as I can.
What did you do? How did this milestone strike you?
