The fun of being a woman!

Being of the female gender is something that I would never change. There are so many benefits and blessings associated with it. I could explain all about it however due to space on blogger, I will refrain. If you would like to hear me on my soap box concerning this issue I can be found on the corner of 4th South and State Street on Tuesdays and Thursdays between the hours of 2:00 – 4:00 in the afternoon. 

However, with all of the spectacular reasons there are to being a woman, there are also some minor inconvenient happenings with which must be dealt. I had the privilege this morning of dealing with one such event.

At quarter to seven this morning I was sitting in the doctor’s office awaiting a new experience. Due to the fact that my mom and my grandma both had breast cancer, I got the opportunity to have a mammogram 5 years earlier than most the rest of the females on this great planet. I have a nasty habit of opening my mouth and smarty pants remarks usually go unfiltered out. Good thing that most of the doctors that I have contact with are used to this from me and actually find me somewhat humorous.

Let’s just leave this experience with that fact that the doctor this morning found me to be quite hilarious. She was laughing so hard that I thought she wasn’t going to make it through the rest of the exam without having to excuse herself to use the restroom. I think the one that got the largest laugh was something to do with stating that it was a good thing that I was flexible, but if she asked me next to stand on my head while holding my big toe and touching my nose with my left elbow and singing a rousing verse of “The Star Spangled Banner”, I would have to draw the line. After all, putting both feet behind my head is one thing, but honestly what’s a girl to do?!?!
