It is unreal all the things women do have to go through. I have been struggling with my period since I got it and now I am getting it briefly and then it comes back with a vengeance another time. What the HECK is that about?? Officially sharing too much here.

"What do you mean?"(wondering if I had ink or something) "It's like a pleat." "Oh, it's called a wrinkle, my dear"... And there's no way I can hide my forehead, but you can buy elegant long sleeved blouses!Magali@TheLittleWhiteHousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13787605249681670341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7186929171672526984.post-65179913201821743412013-07-27T18:23:20.090-07:002013-07-27T18:23:20.090-07:00Suzan, Yes, Saggy knees are next.

Maybe the arms are the first to go. I truly do avoid mirror and you won't get me in a dressing room (think of all the sales they'd make if they just got rid of the florescent lighting!). I think I am going to just blame it on genetics and hormones and keep those babies covered.<br /><br />XO,<br />Jane Blondie's Journalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12988377413260331618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7186929171672526984.post-43970979412953371102013-07-27T16:00:42.792-07:002013-07-27T16:00:42.792-07:00Oh my gosh...I almost died laughing at this!

Don't know what the ! happened.I got Contact Lenses for the first time last week, and I see so much more clearly. I now see that my eyes are hiding and makeup seems to disappear. And of course I can see that my Racoon Eyes (I have had ever since I can remember) are really starting to show up so much better :( Really loved the post Suzan!

If anyone has a clue on how to find pants that accommodate this monumental change in the sit down area, I would surely like to hear it. <br /><br />It probably will be as big a shock as it was to find that my shoulders are now so much larger than they were that I fit into some 1X tops. And my weight is 5 founds over what it was when I was twenty, half a century ago. <br /><br />Bodies befoggle my poor be-fogged brain.
