Okay, I've been convinced...-gretchen
Hello all,
I gave in to Tony's pressure and here I am.
hmm..
Ben bought a car! It is very sensible (good gas mileage), logical (low low miles), and very nice -- moon roof and all! Here's a picture (basically); Ben's car is an 2002 Honda Civic EX not an LX. So, that is exciting.
Inauguration is coming up and that is very exciting. On Sunday DC is putting on a crazy free concert at the Lincoln Memorial with Stevie Wonder, Bono, Bruce Springsteen, Beyonce, Jamie Foxx, Queen Latifah, etc. I mean probably a million people will be there, but it will be cool to even see them as specks in the distance.
Then, the actual inaguration will also be super awesome (and crowded and cold--but awesome!). I am very excited about that. Saturday through Tuesday Ben's friends will be staying here for it, as well. It is going to be a very busy crazy time.
I am also excited about Lauren and Mark spending the night on Friday!!! :)
And now for the strange piece medical news of the month:
Does everyone know what a Nuvaring is? Well, it is a "once monthly vaginal ring" used for birth control. You stick it up your vagina and your good for the month. ("Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday Every Dayyyyyyy) . Anyways, some girl called and said she thinks she accidentally put it in the wrong hole. No one believed her (seriously how could you mistake it?), but to soothe her we let her come in. They gave her a sonogram, and what do you know, she somehow stuck the NuvaRing into her urethra and it was lodged in her bladder! Oh the horror! I don't even know how she did that.
Well, that's all I really have to say for now. Right now it seems like Emily and Leah might visit in April. All others are welcome that weekend as well. Since it is so far away, of course, there will be more to update on that subject at a later time. I miss you all! Talk to you soon.

oh my god! i guess i have been lacking in the weird-medical-stories-from-gretchen department... so jealous that you get to see all the fun in DC, I wish I could have come.
Did you get your present??
HOLY CRAP!!!!!!! HOW IN THE FRICKEN WORLD DID SHE MANAGE TO GET IT IN THERE!?!?!?! I mean I would think you would have to work pretty hard to get it up in to your bladder. OUCH!
And Sparrow still has fluffy hair..he must have just been flattening it out as he slept there.
HAVE FUN THIS WEEKEND! WISH I COULD BE THERE!!! Take a bajillion pics and post them.
OMG!! How is that even possible?!? How would you think that was what you wanted to do?!?!? I just..... I don't understand! ... Wow, that's a good work story.
Also, hooray for Mr. Yelin's car purchase and DC festivities :) You'll have to tell us all about it!
Um...that was so not the hole I was imagining. I went from thinking, "wow, she's dumb" to "oh my holy hell that's horrendous."
