When you shouldn't  - 

8/7/2014

Today I told a friend on FB that I liked the new hair style she was displaying on her feed. When in actuality I wanted to ask if she got a boob job.

I think she did. I've noticed this in about 6-7 of FB friends my age.Crap, are my friends hitting their mid-life crises?

I guess it shouldn't matter, unless of course she got it because she had cancer. Then I was a bad friend for not being there for her. But I never saw posts about cancer on most of these "notice-ables."

Believe me, I understand the body altering happenings that take place after breastfeeding a baby. But for me a boob job ranks about nowhere on the list of things I'd like to spend my money on.
Plus, I don't particularly sit around playing with my boobs thinking, "oh boy, if my boobs were more perky I'd be so much happier."

W
hy is it okay for people to post (and expect reply comments) about their new hair styles but not about their boob jobs and botox? Are they not a means to the same intended end?

The moral of this blog to me is that - I'm getting old. Hopefully I'm getting there gracefully. I know I can lose a few pounds and tone up. But I'd much rather buy a nice big truck, horse trailer and barn than pump my body full of crap so others will notice, but not say anything.*

Next time I'm just gonna ask as if they got a new shirt or hair color. I'll let you know how that goes over ;).


*Anything, but (possibly derogatory) remarks behind her back. Or blog posts, I guess.
