Crawling toward something....

I know not what. Boy I haven't written here in a LONG TIME. I will not bore you with the details. But today I read a blog post by my friend Julie Green who is trying to adopt. She is a brave and honest chronicler and it made me realize that I could learn a lot from her even though she is way more than 20 years my junior. So we're pulling up our big girl pants....

And what better to discuss than the fact that they eye doctor told me yesterday that I'm developing cataracts? MOI???!!!! Excuse me, but I'm young and gorgeous and defy all the other aging things that happen to people (except weight gain, pre-diabetes and high cholesterol.) And now THIS! I can already see that my life is going to transmogrify into a series of doctor and dentist appointments that will take so much room in my Blackberry that I won't have time for any fun.

Except of course my 40th college reunion. There is nothing BETTER than old dear friends who have been around for a long time. And making new friends of people who shared an experience with you but you didn't really know at the time. The next time you go to a reunion -- high school, college, whatever -- be thankful for the people who did all the hard work so that everyone else could have a good time. They, of course, are probably exhausted and will only see it through a haze!
