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."
Why 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.
