Of the Netherregion

I'm still reeling from last night; DD and I hosted a fancy-pants BBQ (we made an assortment of grilled skewers: coconut cumin chicken, rosemary scallops and tangy-citrus shrimp) and didn't get to bed until close to two. At any rate, my brain is on vacation temporarily. In lieu of profundities, I leave you with the following:

Last night over dinner I learned what a merkin was. Pray tell, what is it, you ask? Why, it's a pubic wig. Apparently prostitutes wore merkins in the days of old, after they'd shaved to eradicate lice. I hear they also come in handy for covering up symptoms of myriad other STDs...

Next, allow me to introduce to you the Woomba. It's kinda like the Roomba (the robotic vaccum), but not. Click here for all of your female hygenic needs.

I am sorry I missed the bbq! I really wanted to get out but was absolutely swamped. :( I didn't even do anything fun the whole weekend. I'll be done in a few days though...definitely need to do dinner soon! Sounds like I missed a lot :)

that's hysterical ... har har (you know hysterical comes from hysterectomy?? found that out playing trivial pursuit with Eli). A friend of mine works at an ObGyn and she said once her boss came in with a tie covered with a pattern of crabs ... she told him it might not be a good one to wear to the office. :)

LMAO -- the crabs tie!

About pubic wigs -- maybe it wasn't cool to go for the shaved look back in yon olden times. Nowadays isn't it hip to be bare? My aunt's a nurse practitioner in an ObGyn office and she's indicated that everyone's going with less lately...
