An Old Lady With A Zit

Today is my birthday and I woke up to discover I had a pimple. Hooray. I mean I am 36 and 36 is on the down side to 40. 40 is almost 50. 50 is half of a decade. When you are almost half of a decade you should not still be getting pimples.

I do not think you (by you I mean me) should have to deal with pimples when you (again I mean me)experience certain conditions such as gray hair, sagging body parts, if when you laugh or cough and a little bit of pee comes out, if you use a walker, if you have or will soon apply to AARP you should not be getting pimples. It is just wrong.

I hope our kids come home soon before I break a hip. The good news is Lori is still older than I am!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Sorry it started out on such a note. All I can tell is that some of those things get worse after 40-and I am expecting a pre-schooler to come home soon! The good news -- you don't care as much.

Hope you have a great day.

Happy Birthday Shelby!
Hope you have a great one and you get your presents soon! (by that I mean the kids)

Shelby, I agree so much. One should not have to suffer from acne and crow's feet at the same time. There's no winning. When the acne is finally gone forever, other body parts will be hanging close to the floor. At least our children don't notice. . .yet.
