Second thing is, you don't get to rag on being 41 and not let someone skinny complain about being fat. At 41 you are still just a baby. Now I on the other hand, just turned 57, so I definitely get to cry about that. However, if I'd been you, and that skinny, marathon running friend was going on about being fat, I think my natural inclination would also be to tell her, this conversation is officially over. Now see! It's not so bad getting older. You can totally get away with way more stuff and people will just shake their head and say, "Well look at her, she's so old she just doesn't give a flying fig." Also, were you not raised in San Diego? Yup, that's what I thought. All your problems involving winter and wind stem from the fact that you left your homeland. My suggestion is that you come back. It's the only cure."Cottage By The Sea"https://www.blogger.com/profile/04016670928484219905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3626435726269756106.post-57523850211249661222011-11-08T09:39:29.831-07:002011-11-08T09:39:29.831-07:00We lived in Newport, RI, for a year and the wind N...We lived in Newport, RI, for a year and the wind NEVER stopped.

Go...skinny people that talk about fat just KILL me. Good for you, I say.<br /><br />The wind where I live (good ole Gallup, NM) blows constantly from October to May. It is awwwffffuuuulll. The other day I was talking on the phone with my sister and she's like, "Are you outside? What's with the wind?" I hadn't even noticed it was blowing and she could barely hear me. That's how bad it gets here. Steady winds of 50 mph with gusts up to 80 EVERY SINGLE DAY. Kill me now. High today? 48 degrees.<br /><br />Happy birthday.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11015713105597907545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3626435726269756106.post-4174781689817520322011-10-05T13:03:17.869-06:002011-10-05T13:03:17.869-06:00I'm with Chrissy, I just want to be your frien...I'm with Chrissy, I just want to be your friend.
