OK, ladies -- so I experienced my first hot flashes this weekend. Which really surprised me since I won't even turn 44 until March this year.

The only way I could react to this surprise was though humor and I wrote a haiku poem that I included in a blog post.

"Insolent hot flash!
Nocturnal, uninvited
I am hot and cold."

Well, it's funny to *me* anyway. The entire post is at

Her Circle Ezine

Take care,
Diane
