"Have you been tanning?", she asked...

I was at Walmart  yesterday...ran into a friend.

"You look like you have some color in your face, have you been tanning?", she asked me.

Now, it had been raining for 3 days straight, big Nor'Easter here in CT.

So, I stare at her with eyes wide and a really dumb look on my face...

"Tanning? Well, no...it's been raining...like a lot." I say.

"OH, but you look reddish, I just thought maybe you were tanning somewhere."

"Oh, that...it's just menopause slipping it's sorry a** in, and I hate it when it does that...see what you have to look forward to."  I say to my 30 something 'friend' while I fanned my face with the latest tabloid.

I let her go ahead of me in line...

I didn't want her to see I had 'Boost' in my cart.  And really, the boost was not for me it's for my hubby.

Don't worry, take no notice of your friend. As you say, she has that to look forward to. I think colour in the face can look quite becoming. I always have colour in my face, due to embarrassment, or heat, or high blood pressure...
I feel like I've been having hot flashes since I was twelve! I'm always overheating.


P.S What is 'Boost' ?

Well, the British version of it anyway. It's called Asda here. P.S What is 'Boost' ?

Oh, so I'm not really going through menopause, am I?  I'd rather have it be embarrassment...but it truly takes a lot to embarrass me.

I am 29 and I drink Ensure all the time. I like it. The Butter Pecan is my favorite.

I would rather have hot flashes than all this once a month garbage!
