Things I'd Rather Do

Monday morning I have to go see that doctor that no woman enjoys going to see.  Now, I have a fond affection for the man that brought my three children into the world, but I still don't look forward to seeing him at his work place.  Church - don't mind seeing him there.  Suite 600 - not so much.

So, to make light of the subject so that all stays calm ('cause that's what I do) I thought I would make a list.
101 50 Things I'd Rather Do Than Visit the OB
1.  Eat sushi

Didn't know you liked Sushi either. Is it bad that I'd rather go to that Doctor than drive down 280 in Birmingham? You know how I feel about that. Ugh!

Hi Becky, Aussie Helen here. Just grit your teeth, close your eyes and think of England! I'm past that stage, thank goodness. I gather route 280 is not much fun either. Have a great day. Love Helen

You must REALLY hate going to the doctor! I was shocked at some of the preferred activities!!

Um. Yes. And there really isn't much worse than being in that predicament and having small talk made about said doctor's kids who happen to be in your husband's ethics class and all that jazz...

I didn't read the list as carefully because I'm wondering why you wrote "OB". Is there something to that, or just the short version of OB/GYN? Mo ;)
