Lady Lumps

 What is it about getting what you want that makes you want a thing you had never considered before you got what you had wanted?  Stay with me here.  Have you ever decided to pain a room in your house.  Just the one room would brighten up the whole space.  So you go and look at all of the tiny color squares, steal a bunch of the books that you know you will never use for anything……. Purchase one tiny sample of the color you want and go home tgo slap it on the wall.  You then go back and order a full can of that color, along with more blue tape because you have no idea where the other rolls that you bought in bulk are stored.  You pain that one room and sit back to marvel at your accomplishment.  Just then, your eye catches something to the right of the wall that has just started drying.  Crap!  The new coat of paint in this room makes the next room look dark and dingy.  You had no plans to pain the whole house, but alas, that’s what’s about to happen.

I never thought I would ever ever consider a “boob job.”  My lady lumps have been a part of my life since high school and I had no intention of messing with them as long as they didn’t mess with me.   Here I am, catching something out of the corner of my eye and wondering if I might embark on a journey i had not previously considered.  AFter nursing two children for a total of three years and now, after losing 80 pounds in six months, my breasts look worn for the wear.  I never had perky breasts that stood up and said HI!  I had full heavy breasts that swayed with each step and said heeeyyyyyyy.  

It’s not even that I dislike the look of them.  They are just deflated and don’t fill my cups like I'm used to.  So, what to do?  Plan another surgery that would lift and tuck and boost my confidence more while offering me breasts with the appropriate level of perkiness for a 47 year old?  Do I find them as the new thing to question, dislike and groan about?  I had no intention of getting a boob job.  And now, I have every intention of doing just that before my 50th birthday.
