I guess I’m Old Fashioned Pt. 2

I’ve come to realize that I am a 70+ year old lady in a 23 year old’s body. I’m okay with it. I’ve got “charm” and training that most ladies my age don’t have.

1. A lady should always bend at her knees and not her waist.

2. Don’t order alcohol if the friend paying isn’t drinking

3. Don’t talk during a performance. Nowadays people tend to get up to answer their phones. YOU”RE DISTRACTING!!!

4. Stay off your phone when you’re in line somewhere. The clerk at the grocery store deserves some respect, too.

5. You should always watch your language in mixed companies.

6. It’s “yes” not “yeah”

7. When you sit at a table to dine, remember to place your napkin in your lap

8. Cover your mouth when you yawn, cough, or sneeze

Just Like Grandma

So I’ve begun to realize that more and more I am like my Grandma Helen. She was a perfect little housewife who thought of every detail for every member of her family.

She has not been around for over 6 years, but because she practically raised my sister and I, there are a lot of things that she instilled in me along the way.

Good: I send out Christmas, birthday and anniversary cards to just about everyone

Bad: I wash out used Ziploc baggies, dry and re-use them. I can’t bear to throw it out if it’s hardly been used.
