and in other girly news, got the bargain of a lifetime last night. Jones New York jacket priced at $239.00 for TWELVE DOLLARS. It's a little big, but what's a waist nip when the jacket was TWELVE DOLLARS.
Ooh! Good deal!

Spike's Bitches 34: They're All Slime and Antlers
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Colposcopy. That hurt. There are advantages to having a female goolie doc, because she looked up at me with the tears coming out of my eyes and said, "I know, I had one of these a couple of months ago, hang in there."

The status is NOT quo.
Yep. Colposcopy is not fun.
I donwanna think about girly bits and procedures any more than that.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Dude, having an IUD inserted was so (briefly yet holycrapsharply) painful that I will NEVER complain about a PAP test again.
Truer statement, mang....

Because books.
I am like Vortex. My OBs have figured out pretty quickly to use a much smaller speculum on me. Before childbirth, one of my GYNs actually used a child-sized one. Which was good for me, but also made me sad because there are very few good reasons to need such a thing as a child-sized speculum.
Edited because a "much speculum" is not the same thing as a "much smaller" speculum. Must learn to proof before posting.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Ooooh. Nice.
Amazon is recommending Sidney Poitier's autobiography, based on the fact that I ordered "YOU: On A Diet." Interesting.
Also, I've been looking though the recipes in "Vegan With a Vengeance," which I also just bought. It's pretty interesting as vegan cookbooks go. The desserts take up about a quarter of the book, and there's no a single salad. Looks like fun. I have a feeling I might be bringing a lot of vegan baked goods into the office in the next few weeks.

Probably because both books have been featured on Oprah, although Amazon recommendations are often on the bad crack.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Hysterectomy = no more pap smears. This is a definite benefit.

The weirdest thing is that my new GYN up here actually told me at my last checkup that I probably didn't need them anymore, because I had been sexually monogamous for more than twenty years, and then cited all the evidence about cervical cancer and the human papilloma (I have no idea if I spelled that right) virus and it being sexually transmitted, blah blah.
And then he did a pap smear anyway.

Steph, did sounds get metallic on you?
You know, I don't know. Because my problem is that I so totally go into my pain that everything else recedes. I remember gasping at the pain (though that might have been at the measuring of my uterus, not the IUD insertion), and then being surprised (and ANNOYED) that my OB/GYN seemed surprised that I was experiencing pain. But mostly I just remember sharp, whitehot pain.
