Do I Look Fat in This?*

 

*Hint — Both “yes” and “no” are the wrong answer.

Before I talk about the title of this blog, I have to tell you — It started out as a normal day.

You know, the kind where I sleep in because I stayed up FAR too late. Again. (At least this time it was for a perfect reason…I was hanging out with my 18 year old son, laughing and joking as we shopped online for his laptop. He is buying it for himself and wanted my input! I’m verklempt just thinking about it).

Anyway, I went on with my day, and sent a text to my BFF from elementary school telling her that something fell-through and I wouldn’t be able to make the trip next week to Dallas as I had hoped.

Pam & I were kindred spirits in elementary school. From Kindergarten through 4th grade, I believe we lived at each other’s homes. Then, after my father unexpectedly passed away when we were in 4th grade, my mother moved us to Idaho (I’m skipping a bunch of details here. You’re welcome). It was devastating for both Pam & I to be ripped away from each other. Over the years, Pam and I lost touch — she found me several years ago on facebook and it was like I had found a part of myself!!!

Cut to — Today. I sent her a text and after a few back-and-forths, I asked, “So, how you and Bert doing?” She said, “We are doing well. B started a new job last week and I am very busy promoting my new book. I enjoy promoting others oh so much more than myself! How are you?”

My response: “Wait. Book? What did I miss?”

Yep. She wrote a book.

Not just any book.

But a REALLY FUNNY book. Haha!

No wonder we were BFFs.

Yes, I am impressed that she authored a book — but it is a really interesting feeling that someone I knew as little child has authored a book, that, in its first week is ranked #14 in its category! WOW! (Take a peek at it here)

So, “Do I Look Fat In This? And Other Impossible Questions Women Ask” is the title of her book. I’m pretty sure my sons and sons-in-law don’t read this blog, so I’ll tell you — I am totally getting them a copy of this book for Chrsitmas! Haha… Which man doesn’t want to know the answer when their woman says, “Do I look fat in this?”

Go, Pam, Go!!! I don’t know why, but I feel so proud of you! :-)

All the best success to you!!! XO
