Their honeymoon phase must have been over by the time they boarded their plane TO their honeymoon.
Heck, Sean and I have had bad spells that lasted longer
than 72 days. Of course, they didn’t happen in the first year of our marriage,
so I suppose we had a slight advantage on Kim.
Oh, and we actually thought, “Till death do us part,”
meant one of us had to die before we weren’t married any more.
Moving right along... here's another fun subject: mammograms. As in, I’m having my first mammogram tomorrow.
Tata Nano |
They are disturbed by that prospect.
Of course, they’re disturbed by a lot of stuff. I’m sure
they’ll be disturbed that I used the word tatas.
Did you know Tata is the name of an Indian car company? I
really think they should have poured a little more money into R&D. I mean,
I know it’s the last name of someone, but really?
I’m sure Michael won’t even mind the mammogram
conversation since I ended on cars.
I still mind. Nice try.
ReplyDeleteHappy Mammogram day! It's not so bad. There's an absurdity to it that I hope will strike you in the middle of the experience... Because, for all my appreciation for the technology and for all my respect for the lives that it has saved... there is still the act of taking one's tata (as you so eloquently put it) and having it squished as though we were in some way making a tortilla or pasta. This is accomplished, of course, while one stands in their socks (don't. forget. your. socks.) in a paper or cloth robe in the middle of a room filled with tata squishing machinery. And oh! the joy of seeing the technician scurry away from the radiation that ensues while you stand, clamped into said machine... the joy! the dignity!
ReplyDeleteYou write about your mammogram and I'll write about my colonoscopy...
Sending love and good humor.
Michael - sorry, dear. You may want to avoid Wednesday's post.
ReplyDeleteTermione - thanks so much for the information about the socks! I had no idea. Are you getting a colonoscopy anytime soon? The good news about that is they do sedate you. Too bad there aren't drugs involved in a mammogram...
I'm disturbed you used the word tatas.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, dude, you're gonna be fine. I had one a year or two ago. They've made progress in booby-squooshing technology. It really wasn't that bad.
Love ya.
I love the Duffy family.
ReplyDeleteHere's even worse R&D - Nova, as in the Chevy, means no go in Spanish. It could even be translated "it doesn't go."
ReplyDeletetata for now.
Amity - You are NOT disturbed I used that word. I'm sure you enjoyed it. And thanks for the encouragement.
ReplyDeleteElizabeth Joy - the fam loves you, too!
BCB - I did not know that about the Nova - thanks for bringing it to my attention. Now I have another car fact that's come from a mammogram post; I'm sure Michael will be thrilled!
The comments are making me smile as much as the post did. Thanks everyone.
ReplyDeleteAnd good luck tomorrow Christy. Thanks for forging the way ahead for the rest of us.
