Why is there an egg in bed with me?
So last night
I hopped into bed,
and an egg rolled
out of my sheets.
Not a big egg,
this was the size
of a Robin's egg.
It was white,
and spotted with brown.
So I picked it up,
but it was too soft
to be an egg.
So, being my father's daughter,
I sniffed it.
It smelled like cinnamon.
I smushed it in my fingers
a little bit,
and realized what it was.
I had brought
my lunch out,
and set my snack
on the plate with it
and then got distracted.
My cat, Jake,
sensing an opportunity,
grabbed it, and ran.
He then, licked
all of the cinnamon
off of the outside,
and left me with
a naked Irish Potato.

Knock those hooters around!
When I had my mastectomy,
I had the implants
put in at the same time
that they removed the cancer.
But the implants
they put in,
were inflatables.
Yeah.
Once a week,
the doctor would
add some saline
to inflate
the expander,
which would stretch
the skin.
I guess about
four months later
they'd remove
the inflatables,
(the expanders),
and replace them
with the saline implants.
So I was actually
gonna be
leaving the hospital
flat chested.
The thought of THAT
devastated me.
Those of you who knew me,
remember my bra size.
As far at I was concerned,
to go from THAT,
to flat chested
was worse than the cancer.
I couldn't even imagine
how awful it would be
to leave the hospital
with that part of my body
amputated.
Oh. I laughed.
I joked.
I had people placing bets -
Feeling me up,
then guessing
how much they weighed.
(9 pounds)
But, underneath
I was having panic attacks.
It was too awful to think about.
Enter Missy.
Bless her heart.
She knitted me boobies.
Yes. She. Did.
She found a pattern online.
And made me "Knitted Knockers"
Crocheted breast prosthetics.
So that I wouldn't have to leave
the hospital flat chested.
How adorable is that?
This was all
almost 10 years ago.
The inflatables didn't inflate.
I got deathly MRSA in one side.
(This has NEVER happened before)
Story of my life.
I had to have that one pulled out.
Then when they thought
the MRSA was gone
they put it back in.
I got MRSA again.
(This has NEVER happened before)
So, I had both sides pulled out.
And I walked out of the hospital
Flat chested.
But finally out of pain.
The Knitted Knockers
were put in a drawer.
with the mastectomy bra,
and forgotten about.
Until last week.
All of a sudden
I noticed one of the Knockers
was lying in a different area
of my house,
every few hours.
That's when I realized
my cats were playing
"bat the boobie around".
But why can't a GUILLOTINE go through airport security?
My Mom, dad, and I,
go through Kindles
like water.
My Amazon account
is now up to like:
"Julie's 7th Kindle".
My mom didn't like
the touch screen,
so I bought her
the Kindle 4,
where you press the buttons
on the side to turn
the pages.
I came up from the ocean
and plopped my beach chair
right down on the Kindle,
cracking the screen in half.
I bought a Kindle Fire
for my cousin
in the Masonic Home,
but she didn't use it once.
It sits in my room haunting me.
This Christmas my dad
had his Kindle Paperwhite stolen
out of the lost and found
at Myrtle Beach TSA.
He decided to take
this bagel cutter,
(that was a gift)
in his carry-on luggage.
And couldn't understand
why they wouldn't let him
take it on the plane.
TSA made him go back
through security
and have them put it
in his checked luggage.
He's explaining this to us,
and was mystified
that they made him surrender it.
This!
Bagel cutter!
A GUILLOTINE!
With a 4 inch triangular pointy knife.
Dad! Seriously!
He said,
"But it had the plastic
around the knife"
OK.
Because plastic
can't be stepped on
and broken.
And that lethal knife
pulled out,
and used
to take a plane down.
OHHHhhh......
So. He had to go BACK
through TSA
to Spirit,
where the woman
at the counter
(after giving him a raised eyebrow)
had to run in the back,
find his luggage,
and put the
GUILLOTINE in there.
Then my dad
had to go BACK
through security,
take his Kindle
out of his carry-on,
and put it on the machine.
But, he was so flustered
over the whole "GUILLOTINE" incident,
that he forgot to grab the Kindle
And he didn't remember it
until AFTER he was in my car,
and at my brother's house,
and then still, until
he was back at my house.
Where we all searched diligently
for it, with no luck.
When they got home
and he went through TSA,
he realized that maybe,
with "GUILLOTINE-GATE",
he had forgotten it there.
So he searched,
and asked,
and looked in Lost and Found,
but it was gone.
Someone had helped themself
to a paperwhite Kindle.
Merry Thieving Christmas to them.
Fortunately, I had my mom's
touchscreen Kindle
to send to him.
It doesn't light up.
But it's a Kindle.
"Julie's 8th Kindle."

Can i be a "bag lady" in this day and age?
I just had to run
to Walgreens
to pick up photos.
And, it being
a lazy Sunday,
OR, me, being
lazy, on a Sunday
didn't feel like
getting dressed.
So I threw on a pair
of sweatshorts
over my longjohns,
and an Avalon sweatshirt
over my pajama top,
and a ripped Polo ball cap on,
and left the house.
It was the ugliest-ass
outfit you ever saw.
Never mind the fact
that the sweatshorts
are Ralph Lauren,
They're sweatshorts!
And GREY. Ugly.
And my longjohns
have blood on them
down the calf
because I neglected
to notice that I cut my leg.
And when I bleed,
it's a murder scene.
And I didn't comprehend
the hideousness of my outfit,
until it was staring at me
in the reflection of the
Walgreens door.
And I realized I looked
like a bag lady.
Except in this "Oh So Sensitive"
Politically Correct climate,
I couldn't say that.
So I decided that the new term is
"Big Brown Bag American".
But watch.
Even though Bloomingdales
has had that term forever
Someone will object
to the use of "brown".

Mirror, Mirror
I am pretty much close to blind.
Without my glasses
So when I put mascara on
it's a disaster.
I have to be an inch from the mirror,
which then gets fogged up
and I get all sweaty
from the close space
Today. I found out that putting
mascara on in the airport
is about the worst makeup experience
I could ever have.
The counter was three feet wide.
So I had to take a running jump,
to parkour onto the counter
just to sit on top of it.
And then, lean OVER the sink,
to see my eyes.
Meanwhile the sink
was electronically activated,
So everytime I breathed
I got soaked.
while my right side
was getting squirted with soap.
And there were no paper towels.
Or hand blowers
They only had those
"Efficient Hand Dryers"
That you stick your hands down into
and sound like a rocket blasting off.
So, ticked off,
I rounded the corner,
thinking maybe toilet seat covers
would work to dry me off in a pinch
And there, hanging on the wall,
was a full length mirror.

No whining, no trolls, no adults......
I was so tired of seeing
all the negative posts
The politics.
The racism.
The butt hurt.
The whining.
The people who were
offended by the capital
letter in the sentence above it.
So I hunted for a "fluff" page.
Something that would be fun,
all positive posts, light and breezy.
I found it in a Grey's Anatomy page.
It was great.
All cute posts about the show.
Questions about the characters.
What if this happened?
And not one miserable post about
current events.
Exactly what I was looking for.
Almost too perfect.
I couldn't believe it!
There were no trolls
trying to post about politics,
or grumble about the fact
that there are interracial
couples on the show.
Then on "Open Question Friday",
(You can talk about something
other than Grey's)
Someone posted:
"What are you afraid of?"
Someone answered
"getting my period for the first time.
I heard that it hurts."
Yeah.
I was on a site with pre-teen girls.

What's in a name? A lot! When it has bad press twice!
I think we can safely say that the name "Scott Peterson" has been ruined forever....
