I've opened up this blog page awhile ago on one of those days where clicking through the instructions to set up a blog seemed like a good idea. After all, everyone is doing it, right? And I'm always one to join the crowd. Just give me a few people, a cliff to jump off of, and I'm there.
We're in the final countdown until Christmas vacation (2 days!) and that means I've spent a lot of time in the mall or stores. And in that time, I've discovered that I've officially been "ma'am"ed. I had one guy in Walmart say "Excuse me, ma'am" as he scooted past me, but the worst comes from my trips to the mall. You know those kiosks they set up in the centre of the mall and when you walk by people are always coming up to you trying to sell you junk, so you spend your time looking in the opposite direction trying to appear really interested in something in the store window? Well, I have passed by the straightening iron section quite a lot, and each time I get the "ma'am, would you like to try this?" from the girl there. It's so depressing to think that I'm only 29 and have been relegated to the ma'am section. If I ever had some kind of a sexy edge, it's officially gone now. But that's a big if.
But the thing that confuses me most? I already have a straightening iron that I use each day. If they keep approaching me without fail each time I'm in there, I must be doing something seriously wrong.
Merry Christmas.

Welcome to the world of blogging, Cari! :) So far, so good, no? After your post, I'm now going to be hyper-aware of people ma'aming me.

Haha! I've been ma'amed many times. I like to think it's my wisdom showing, because, I also get mistaken for a lot younger too!
yay blog!

Ma'am-ing should be outlawed, but the straightening iron thing killed me! That's pretty awesome, I'm not gonna lie :)
