What a Rush!

Hey! I met a lady today who looked terribly familiar. She said I looked familiar to her, too. As we tried to figure out when and where we might have met, she asked me how old I was. I told her I was 43. She said she was 53, and at first thought I might be one of her daughters' friends. It made my day when she thought I might be young enough to be in her daughters' peer group. Just a moment I thought I'd stick in a blog because I'd like to relive repeatedly a moment when someone thought I looked younger than I am.

I probably looked younger tonight because I waxed my face before we left for this party. (One of the symptoms of Cushings disease is facial hair, which I personally find a bit unnerving and disgusting when I look in a mirror - like I don't already have some self-image issues.)

I realize these blog postings are blatantly self-absorbed and frankly less inspired than the verbage one might find on, say, the ingredient list on a can of creamed corn, but if anybody's out there, would you take just a moment to post a comment? Any comment will do. I can make it easier for you if you like. You can just type a number:
1. "Marvelous blog, Karen. Can't wait to read your next post."
2. "You are right. You are ridiculously self-absorbed and probably ugly."
3. "I can't believe the Creator is allowing you to breathe my air."
4. "If you can't think of anything more interesting, I'm moving on to read about Paris Hilton's latest internship."
5. "I'm sure in real life you're amusing and have a sparkling wit, would you mind sharing some of that instead of what I've been reading?"
6. "Clickin' on through."
7. "So, really, what do you think about ingrown toenails?"
8. "Whoooooooo are you (I don't really want to know)."
9. "Why don't you wait to write one of these until you've knocked back a few cold ones and you're more in touch with surreality."
10. "It's like a bad movie that sucks you in because you're positive at SOME POINT, it will become interesting. Then you get to the end and realize you'll NEVER get that time back."
11. "Click this link for a great deal on a M-or-t-gage. We've already approved you for a $160,000 re-fi-nance on your home at -22 percent interest. In fact, we'll pay you to live there if you promise to make an occasional post on your blog detailing the most fascinating aspects of your life."

Thanks, I hope to be back soon - KG
