Dear Kristy,

OK. I am back from the land of the recovery. I tell people that I turned 40 and got a boob job, tummy tuck and 2 tattoos. What is this world coming to? I feel great, I have to admit. And I am so relieved it is all behind me now. I still am amazed by the tummy tuck. The plastic surgeon needed skin for the last part of the breast reconstruction and asked if I wanted a tummy tuck. Shoot yea! Who wouldn’t? Granted, I still could use some weight loss and exercise but you should see how tight my stomach is. Makes me want to watch what I eat and exercise so I can keep my girlish figure. And I mean girlish. But I won’t go in to how the upper part of my torso looks. Let’s just say I can wear Justice for Girls bras now. No need for Victoria Secret. I need no lift. That’s neither here nor there!

I recently downloaded The Guernsey Literary and Potatoe Peel Pie Society book that you recommended. I am reading it on my iPhone. I just started but I am already hooked. It reminded me of our blog and spurred me to write you. I want us to commit to writing each other more and calling each other less. Even if it is just a small entry, once a week. Are you in?  Then maybe one day we can write our own book and make millions. The title could be The Monticello Literary and Tomato with Cilantro Salsa Society by Kristy Hales and Carolyn Noble. How’s that sound?

Now hungry for chips and dip,

Carolyn
