I know ... I know ... it is supposed to be Wordless Wednesday, but I just had to share!At 43, I finally had my first mammogram - about three years late, but I hate doctors. Anyway, I had heard all of the stories of how painful the process is - how they flatten your tit, how they often have to retake the mammogram and you know what? It's all bullshit!Now mind you, I do have a fairly high pain threshold (I know you are all surprised by that), but still, breast feeding my son was far more uncomfortable than the mammogram, although he did get teeth early. I felt downright silly for putting this off as long as I did as it was really nothing to be at all concerned with.I also got quite a compliment. Apparently I have great tits for taking a mammogram! I have a good layer of muscle behind them (critical for a proper mammogram - who knew?) AND my mammogram was one of the clearest the tech said she had ever seen. WooHoo!!Even better news? The initial results were good. No hidden gems lurking anywhere in these tits.
So, all of you women, don't put off your mammogram. And all of you men, encourage your women to get in there and get it done!!
Anti-meme RockDog challenged his readers to take any 8 of the reader generated, twisted meme questions and answer them in their next blog. Well, I have never been one to pass up a challenge, so here we go! I actually answered 9 of the questions hoping to get extra credit.1. Brand of underwear - I am in no way brand loyal when it comes to underwear, but I am style loyal. Thongs it is, but only because I have a HUGE aversion to panty lines. I think panty lines look extremely tacky and I haven't found any other style of underwear that effectively eliminates them like a thong does.
2. Favorite Drink - Grey Goose with a lime twist. I will not drink any other vodka and I refuse to dilute the flavor with any mixer.
3. Blondes, Brunettes, or Redheads - redheads, definitely redheads!
4. How Old Were You When You Lost Your Virginity?
I was 16, and I didn't have sex a second time until I was 18.
5. If you could change one thing about you that would effect the life of just one person for better, would you do it, even if it meant changing something that you liked about yourself?
This really is a difficult question and, for me, is so dependent upon circumstances. In a nutshell, yes I would, but ...
I would need to feel the person had no other options and the change that I made would significantly impact their life in a positive way. Now, what that means - who that would be - I really don't know, but I *would* know if the opportunity arose.
6. Favorite Book Ever - Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak. It's the only book I own that I waited in line to have the author sign.
7. Favorite Movie Ever - Pulp Fiction - hands down!
8. When you were 10, what did you dream of being when you grew up?
I wanted to be a lawyer. I grew up wanting to make life more "fair" and thought this was the way to do it. I got close - I am a paralegal - and I haven't given up on going to law school at some point in my life.
9. If you could change one thing about your appearance, what would it be?
I've been told I have a chin like Jay Leno (NOT the kind of complement a woman wants to hear) and I am extremely self-conscious about it. I'd like to have a chin job, and a bit of a nose alteration for good measure!
I made a short, "adult" video and posted it to an amateur video website. I hope my husband finds it when, instead of being in bed with me, he is surfing porn.
I know ... I know ... it is supposed to be Wordless Wednesday, but I just had to share!
