Lump

So, I found a lump. It is similar to a lump I've had in my armpit for a few years. Dr. Do thinks it could be a swollen lymph node. It could also be some kind of cyst. It's fairly new because I've been checked within the past month or so. I think it is a Fibroadenoma (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibroadenoma).

I'm getting it checked out on Wednesday morning.

Iowa Joins Massachusetts, Connecticut in Allowing Gay Marriages

Iowa! Who knew? Maybe that song by Dar Williams had something to do with this...

By Bob Van Voris and Andrew M. Harris

April 3 (Bloomberg) -- The Iowa Supreme Court struck down that state’s gay marriage ban as unconstitutional, making it the third state to allow the unions, joining Massachusetts and
Connecticut.

The Iowa court ruling today was unanimous. Last month, the California Supreme Court, which legalized gay marriage in 2008, heard arguments over a ballot measure that later overturned the ruling and banned the practice in that state.

Koala

M calls me "Koala" because I like to sleep and eat twigs and leaves. Sometimes I fall out of trees, as well.

Vow Material

M: "If you went to jail, I would commit a crime so that I could go to jail and be your main b____."

Honestly, that was so sweet and made my day. If we ever got married, it should totally be in your vows. Doris and I saw a special on tv about women in prison and it ain't pretty. I would definitely need M there.

Bag vs. Vacuum

It must be a sign of maturing. I am having to choose between this gorgeous ivory Marc by Marc Jacobs Hillier hobo with shiny lux gold hardware that I've been wanting for months and my slim bagless Dyson DC18 vacuum. Lucky for me, the auction on the hobo ends a day before the vacuum.

Seriously though, this is representative of all my purchasing decisions going forward. Cute gifts for me or all this stuff that we need: dishes, flatware, pots, knives, couch, chairs, dining table, and on and on...
