Outpatient Procedure

Completely hypothetically speaking, let's say your spouse was slated to have an endoscopy next week and the hospital called to do "pre-check-in." Let's say the person asking the questions asks what kind of procedure your spouse will be having. You can say anything. What would your answer be?
  1. Endoscopy
  2. Colonoscopy
  3. Vasectomy
  4. (Fill in the blank)

Extra hypothetical fodder: After throwing up and bearing four of his wonderful children, you asked him to get #3 and he paused long and hard before he said, wistfully and with hesitance, "I will. . . if I have to."

I did not say colonoscopy. No I did not. Nope.

    If I volunteer for the procedure do I get to stay in bed for the week?

    i have been trying to talk my scott into #3 for years. "it just seems so de-masculinizing" is his excuse. as if vomitting for months was feminine! He's waiting for menopause to become our BC. he doesn't seem to realize how long that's going to take :)
    On the flip side - I have just come across some information about printing blogs on Josi Kilpack's website. I think it is called Blog 2 Print and she is being able to offer a 20% discount until Monday on the printing or the program. YOU NEED TO DO THIS and send it somewhere to get it published or to a newspaper to sell yourself as a columnist. You are SO good at this stuff.

    yes! Publish! Then you can come to Houston on a book tour and we will teach you the wiley ways of couponing.

    I vote for #3, but say #1 and #2 and see what happens!

    ... ps...
    I'm not neurotic! And 50 is never too old for pumpkin smashing-unless you get caught

They Call Me Grace

I was nearly 8 years old when my baby sister was born. This was quite fortunate since I was well adept at reading. I was tired of my name. Nancy. So plain. The Sunday comics included a comic strip called Nancy. She hung out with her stupid little boyfriend named Russell, was very boring and cried all the time. Why would parents who love their child name her such a boring name? I assumed they had run out of originality by this point. I was, after all, their third child. There was Mike, then Suzy, after me they had Joey (short for Joanne) and finally Jene Marie. The "j" a soft French slur. It was fitting. We had a French surname. But clearly Jene Marie was their crowning glory. Do I hate for taking all the love from my parents and hogging it for herself? Of course not. She's my sister. She's my baby sister. But if I happen to feel the need to speak to her when she's at work, I always ask for her by using both names; Jene Marie (with the schwa). I don't want her...

I am being published!

I know! It just reeks of excitement, doesn't it?  I know what you are thinking. "Who would publish that woman's thoughts?" The answer is a lovely little outfit called www.blog2print.com. In other words, I haven't been discovered. I am no closer to being a published author than I was yesterday EXCEPT that by Christmas I will be the proud owner of my very own blog book! I know. It's a little anticlimactic but here's the cool part. My friend, Becki, found me entertaining and directed me to a blog called www.josikilpack.blogspot.com.  She posted a little coupon code for 20% off which was supposed to end last week. Apparently, the code is still good and I saved $14. That said, you know it isn't exactly the cheapest way to get published but it's the best price I could find on publishing my blog!  And it requires very little technical know-how.  And that, my friends, tickles my heart. And, for a small price of your integrity and dignity, I will share the ...
