The Perks of Getting Carded

It was mentioned on another childfree blog I enjoy how much younger childfree people look (the post is here).  It was really funny timing, since my husband and I were just carded at a bar in San Destin on Saturday night.

We're in Florida for a bit to puppy-sit for my husband's folks, and we decided to hit up some beachfront bars.  We found one that had a great selection of mojitos (one of my favorite drinks), and sidled up to the bar.  The bartender took our order (Florida wins for nicest, friendliest bartenders), then asked for ID.  She was fairly sure my husband was around 22, but she was very unsure about me.  I thanked her for stroking my ego and handed over my license.  After a few minutes of gaping, she called her co-tender over and made her look.  Then they gaped for another few minutes.

I'm almost 32.  My husband is 37.

They asked my secret, and I said it was simple:
1.  Good food, and lots of good fats and olive oil.
2.  Lots of good wine.  Lots.
3.  No kids.  Leads to the kind of life where you can get carded well into your 30's.
