My Arms look like Gravy....................

The other day I was in the mirror getting dressed and I had to twist my arm behind me to zip up a dress and I almost puked.

My arms - OMG - my nice smooth toned arms have turned into a bowl of lumpy gravy this year.
WHEN DOES THIS HAPPEN?
HOW DOES THIS HAPPEN?
WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN?

What did we women ever do to deserve the crap we have to go through?
Besides making Adam take a bite out of a crummy apple?

Childbirth - check - I dealt with that
Period cramps - check - I dealt with that
Peri-menopause - check - I dealt with that
Menopause - check - I'm dealing with that

But this?  This may just be the straw that broke the camel's back
What's next - saggy knees?
( along with other saggy things ? )

I'm 54 - is this normal?

And because I happened to see this abnormality you just know I stood in that mirror for a very unhealthy amount of time - staring in morbid fascination - and moving them in different positions - to see just how bad they can look from every angle...............

I'm traumatized.
I'm devastated.
I'm in mourning.

For my arms.

Dear God - I can't take much more of this........................last year I was complaining that they looked like Jello and I thought that was bad - they wobbled but at least they were smooth.

How the hell can I age gracefully with lumps...................lumps are the least graceful thing in the world.
I hate them in my gravy.
And I hate them on my arms..................

The End.

I'm seeing Red

This will be the last red one for a while - I promise




Because I DO realize that too much of a good thing can be a bad thing................


and that I don't necessarily HAVE to post every makeover that I do ( a concept that just came to me tonight lol )

so I thought one last one would be enough for now - after all this is the 4th one

I'm starting to see red.....................anyway the handles looked awful so I updated it like this!!!


much better, don't you think?


Stay tuned - we're picking this up this weekend


But first we have to get this one out of the van.
