oh man, this had me laughing pretty good.

10/28/2011 6:39:16 AM

So I've never walked in a Coldwater Creek in my life, but my mother in law randomly bought me some shirts and blazers from there that are actually quite cute. Now I don't look like a hobo at work on the days I wear them

10/28/2011 8:16:29 AM

i like some coldwater creek stuff. it's def meant for older chicks i think but I can pull off some items.

also. there is a 50% chance I chicken out of cutting off all my hair today. anxiety. I feel it.

10/28/2011 9:11:54 AM

the doctor's went fine yesterday, no pain.

it was interesting though, apparently they dont do breast exams unless the patient asks for it. Every time I've had my yearly I've had a breast exam, so I had him do it this time. He had me sit up (usually I'm laying down) and then he jiggled my boobies a bit and touched them a whole lot differently then my old doctors... he says they checked out fine.

10/28/2011 9:17:37 AM

i've always had mine laying down too

....... i smell bullshit. are you sure it was a doctor

10/28/2011 9:19:05 AM

yeah, he was really nice too, he was pretty old, looks like in his 70s. It seemed very thorough and professional and there was a nurse in the room. I've just never had a breast exam that way.

10/28/2011 9:21:57 AM

Maybe at his age he's still in old school medicine mode. (Knowing nothing other than what you've just posted ...) I'd find a different doctor.

10/28/2011 9:24:46 AM

I had a lady doctor talk to me about his own college aged daughter and what she was studying in school while he was examining my lady parts

it was so fucking awkward I wanted to die

10/28/2011 9:26:44 AM

^^ agreed

10/28/2011 9:26:59 AM

I think I would lol if an old man started jiggling my titties around. I also have not had a breast exam in a couple years. Not a professional one at least.

Quote :

" Bimanual Palpation Techniques while Sitting The health care provider will ask you to sit down on a chair with your arms draped along your sides. They will use their right hand above the left hand to palpate the right breast and vice versa. By using the tips of their fingertips they will compress the breast tissue between their fingertips. This should be completed on both breasts – using reversed hand positions. This is the best breast exam technique for checking for any nodules, masses, tenderness or inconsistencies within the breasts. Some of these abnormalities may not be felt during a breast palpation in a lying position so it is important that both tests are completed. "

10/28/2011 9:31:28 AM

Yeah, I should probably get my tatas checked out. It's been about 5 years since I've had a doctor look at them.

10/28/2011 9:32:45 AM

^^yeah that sounds like the technical terms of what he did. I kept talking so that I wouldn't giggle.

10/28/2011 9:35:28 AM

just got back from my yearly and going to get my prescriptions. she checked my boobies and then gave me a chart to hang in my shower to remind me to check at home and how to do it

got my iud pulled, little pain and then it was out! starting on pills for the next year and then after the wedding i'm going without.

10/28/2011 10:31:30 AM

Kate, don't chicken out. I think you look good with shorter hair based on pics I've seen. Just keep the front feminine and face framing!!!

10/28/2011 10:49:47 AM

because EVERYBODY needs a $62k purse

10/28/2011 11:10:26 AM

is that the alligator birkin?

that's the one I want

10/28/2011 11:11:46 AM

it is

Hermes Black Matte Alligator Birkin 35cm PHW $61,999.00

you need yourself a sugar daddy.

i honestly could not ever knowingly carry a purse that expensive. i don't care how much money i had.

..I have yet to go to a doctor for my lady bits. I'm scared of the experience.

10/28/2011 11:36:14 AM

Luna...is it sad or scary that I knew it just by that photo?

10/28/2011 11:43:57 AM

2^just do it. feels good to know you are healthy and unpreggers

10/28/2011 11:45:36 AM

^ I agree, and it's really not that bad... a little uncomfortable for a minute but then it's all over.

10/28/2011 11:48:24 AM

I just don't know where to go I guess... anyone have someone near the Brier Creek area, or Durham?

10/28/2011 2:59:35 PM

4 hours. 12 inches. Gone

10/28/2011 5:40:03 PM

10/28/2011 5:48:04 PM

Damn y'all need to go to the doctor! I go yearly. Mostly because I need dat 190% birth control refill.

10/28/2011 5:48:35 PM

10/28/2011 5:56:16 PM

^^^ haha I've actually been to the lady doctor several times this year but for some reason they haven't done a breast exam. At least I got the old pap smear done.

10/28/2011 6:39:04 PM

ok these are just quickies and i know not the best. I'll try to see if i can have someone else take pics (its hard to take pics of yourself wtf)

10/28/2011 8:04:39 PM

a-fuckin-mazing!! I looooooooooooooooove it!

10/28/2011 8:12:58 PM

haha thanks! i do too actually. i wish i could photograph it properly. omg doing my hair is going to be so much easier now.

10/28/2011 8:14:22 PM

i really love the color, it looks really healthy and frames your face very well

10/28/2011 8:27:38 PM

the color is phenomenal

10/28/2011 9:04:38 PM

LOVE IT! the cut and the color!

--

oh and from reading back, i must be the only girl that actually likes going to the ob/gyn. my doctor is wonderful. every time i see her, it's like going to see my best friend (uhm, who touches me in weird places). but she delivered both of my kiddos, so i have a fantastic almost hero-worship like relationship with her.

Omg I love it, kate! Luuurrrrrvvvveeeee it!! It makes me wanna dye my hair.

10/28/2011 9:23:47 PM

^^ lol it sounds like its just you and me that go regulary

Kate I love your hair!!!!!!! So fun

10/28/2011 9:37:04 PM

I've been having to go every 6 months thanks to some abnormal cells. Luckily, I just got results back on wednesday and it was normal.

10/28/2011 9:39:41 PM

Kate, it's beautiful!!!! Really, really pretty on you. Good choice

10/28/2011 9:57:58 PM

I need to order t-shirts for a sports tournament, with my own design on the front/back. Anybody know of good, fast places online that will do it? Thanks!

10/28/2011 10:36:52 PM

Back in the day I used Logo Joe's in Cary to get some t-shirt printing done. They did a really good job and when there was some issues with the way some of the shirts came out they fixed it no problem in less than 24 hours. And they're local

Re lady docs: I prefer going to see my gynecologist over my general practitioner. I love my doc; she was also my ob and i got lucky that she delivered our baby (though the nurse does all the work...but that's for another topic another day)

And I looooooooooove your cut & color DDK!!

10/29/2011 12:31:12 AM

this was my first time returning to my raleigh doc since i moved away in 2007, and I went back to the same doctor and she was as awesome as ever. quick and thorough, got all my prescriptions in to the harris teeter before I got there, and it is basically in the same parking lot. she talked to me about trying to get preggers with PCOS and all that jazz and got me prepared for what we were going to do after I get married, also talked to me about planning my period around the wedding and honey moon and such.

10/29/2011 1:28:56 AM

I love my GYN. I've been going to him since 2008 and hopefully can continue to see him. If any of you ladies have Aetna then I'm sure you feel my pain with the whole Rex/UNC debacle that has been going on for a year. Luckily my doctor is still accepting my insurance but if I was to get pregnant like today I would have to find a doctor who works out of Wake Med Cary or Duke Raleigh (bad experience at Duke Raleigh so that knocks them out).

I've debated going on my fiancee's insurance plan because we've been in a domestic partnership for well over a year but his company is super small and I'm not trying to mess with their rates. especially with some of the medical issues I have had in the past.

Stupid Aetna I hope they google themselves and find this post.

10/29/2011 10:06:30 AM

thanks for all the love ladies

10/29/2011 10:11:27 AM

Can anyone suggest a really easy to do yourself formal hairdo? I am going to a ball next weekend and don't want to just wear my hair down like I always do, but I am hair-tarded. And I will be in Florida, so can't take a curling iron or anything.
