Thirty will seem so young when you are twice + your age! I always said that life begins at 50. I've been "living" for the last 13 yrs.

PS There's absolutely nothing wrong with being conscious of your appearance! There was a song in the 60's by Jack Jones. One of the lines was "wives should be lovers, too." A lover always wants to look good for her man. In fact...

Wives and Lovers

Hey, little girl, comb your hair, fix your make-up, soon he will open the door,
Don't think because there's a ring on your finger, you needn't try any more.
For wives should always be lovers too,
Run to his arms the moment that he comes home to you.
I'm warning you,
Day after day, there are girls at the office and the men will always be men,
Don't stand him up, with your hair still in curlers, you may not see him again.
Wives should always be lovers too,
Run to his arms the moment he comes home to you.
He's almost here, hey, little girl, better wear something pretty,
Something you wear to go to the city,
Dim all the lights, pour the wine, start the music, time to get ready for love.
Time to get ready for love, yes it's time to get ready for love,
It's time to get ready, kick your shoes off, baby....

But that's another story, isn't it? Oh, well... (Shut your mouth, Tomi! )
