lessons

A few lessons for the day:

1) Feel your boobies, then get someone else to feel your boobies.  I missed a lump, luckily, during my annual grope and feel (aka annual exam), my doctor found it.  Now I get to go get a squish and flatten (aka mammogram) which I am not looking forward to, but is obviously necessary.  I, clearly, was not thorough enough, because as soon as she felt it, I did too, but somehow yesterday, I missed it...I suspect I am not the only one who has done this, so I guess it is safe to say you can't have too many people feeling your boobies.

2) Chatting up little girls is really quite fun.  This was my assignment for the day via the Frisky and since I have the pleasure of chatting up the Pea on a regular basis I tried to change things up a bit and ask questions I normally wouldn't have, and listen better than I normally do.  She is a riot.  We did a lot of driving today and for most of it she talked.  I found out you can keep a cow in a cardboard box, as long as it is in the back of a pick-up truck; pink is the best color, even though it isn't in the rainbow; you can't have flowers or rainbows without rain, and umbrellas are fun, so rainy days are AWESOME (I won't ever bitch about the rain again); powdered doughnuts, because they are messier, are better than pumpkin doughnuts (I disagree); doctor's offices are fun (again, I disagree) and we need to have more adventures (on this one I agree, wholeheartedly).

3) Sometimes just hearing about someone else's job makes you LOVE yours.  I don't make a lot of money, I don't have any prestige, I am not using my degree, and I don't cure or save people.  I am OK with it...why?  Because I have ZERO stress, the people I work with appreciate me (or at least seem too), I make enough money that I am comfortable, and most importantly: it affords me the time I need to take care of myself and the Pea.  Do I wish I was independently wealthy and could be at home all day every day? YES, however, as far as jobs go, since I do need one, I can't complain.

The Pea and I are going on an adventure this weekend...remember how I said we were going to the museum?  Well, why go to the local one when you can go to The Smithsonian?  Baby girl wants adventure, Mama wants out of town, Booya to the rescue.  He needs a ride to Virginia, I have a car, why the hell not?
