How about "glittering" like Maria?

ROFL! I have a 9 year old and a 6 year old who both love that stuff. They got some for Christmas from their aunt.

Try being 52 years old and trying to sort through the makeup and pick out the non-glitter stuff.

If I did wear the stuff that would make me glow like J.Lo, small children would flee at the sight of me. Who wants a 52 year old glowing, glittering in the dark Grandma?

Come to think of it, I could of put on some dangly earings, a few rings, used the makeup that made me glow and glitter, turned off the lights and been this years Christmas tree. Could of saved some money that way.

I found you by coming over from Wizbang and enjoyed your blog very much.

This story was passed around a few years ago from a woman who "swears it happened".

A busy soccer mom was getting her kids off in all the directions they needed to get for the day when she received a call from her gynecologist to let her know there was a cancellation, and she could have her exam if she could be there in an hour. The busy mom happily accepted and rushed home to change clothes. She didn't have time to make her usual "preparations" that women normally do before this sort of exam, so she grabbed a damp washcloth from the bathroom sink and gave herself a furious "scrubbing" down there.

At the doctor's office, she lied there with her feet in the stirrups looking at the ceiling trying to put her mind somewhere else while the doctor did his exam. "My goodness" the doctor remarked, "We made some special preparations today didn't we?" Embarrassed, the woman didn't understand and was relieved when it was over.

Later that evening, her teenaged daughter asked her, "Mom, where is the washcloth that was in the sink in the bathroom?"
"I put it in the washing machine honey, just get another one"
"But Mom, I needed that one for the dance tonight. It had glitter on it."
