Sometimes it's nice to live in a small town of kooks and crazies. When the snowbirds go home and it's just the full timers there is hardly a full set of teeth in town. Add to that the fact that no one appears to have a shower, much less a washing machine in their home. Everyone tends to look a little weathered, leathery, and like they'd be right at home at the State Fair. For all of these reasons, I'm able to go pick up my mail in dirty exercise pants, a shirt with a hole in it, and scarcely any makeup and have a craggy old stranger say, "You look gorgeous today!" They're easy to please in these parts.

Sadly, I've had the opposite experience.
One day a few weeks ago I went to Albertson's with curled hair and make-up and skinny jeans on and I walked out of there with a free loaf of bread and two ladies carrying my groceries.
And then I knew---the world only likes me if I make an effort.
I haven't made one since.
You look gorgeous all the time though- I've seen you without make up and in sweats and you're still cute. Remember: You are Kelsey of Quartzsite.
Shall I call you tomorrow?
