Disturbing Development

I was shaking water off of lettuce yesterday when the skin on the bottom of my arm began to flap. I know it was flapping because it made a flapping sound!

Am committing self to regular regimen of lifting weights. Am worried. I have past, if fleeting, experience with such regimens.

Sheesh. Sorry, gotta run and work out.; 1/16/12, 12:50 PM
Joanne said...: Oy. I guess you have two options ... Exercise, or maybe you can channel a goddess to help you with that?; 1/16/12, 1:48 PM

Watson said...: LOL! I know the feeling ... that first realization of "Jello flaps". Agonize or get on with life - flaps and all.

Warning! I found that after a decade or so, the flaps moved up to my chin! :-)

Daisy's Barbara. Daisy is still unflapable.; 1/17/12, 9:10 AM
Lindsay N. Currie said...: Oh, I've been in that same disheartened state before. Once I was totally winded at the top of a flight of stairs. Troubling. Good luck with the flapping.; 1/17/12, 6:32 PM
Deb @ PaperTurtle said...: It happens to the best of us, dear friend. At least you don't have Carrie to rub your arms and tell you how soft they are! I could send her over there...; 1/18/12, 5:01 AM
Susan Campisi said...: To paraphrase Woody Allen (before he made me cringe), we're just trying to stave off the inevitable decay of our bodies.

Why bother? But if you must, want to borrow a pit bull or two?; 1/20/12, 5:00 PM
