getting inked

Have decided one of two things is happening. Either uterus is wrenching itself free of this body or, is getting a tattoo.

Indeed. Am more convinced it is the latter. In annoying, yet predictable act of rebellion, my uterus is getting inked. That totally explains the torturous pain and buzzing feeling in my cranium. Just hope that the results will be pleasing. Most certainly this new tattoo will say something clever like No Room in the Inn or Don't Tread on Me. Or, perhaps a big red heart with the word Mother through the middle. That's it. Don't see why stupid uterus couldn't be satisfied with trite little symbol, but noooo she had to go all out and get lettering. That shit hurts.

Oh well. Could be worse. Tattoos aren't the end of the world. At least she's not knocked up.

I know exactally how you feel. My uterus has gotten many a tattoo. In fact I think she has no free space left. She is a vengeful little thing indeed. How I envy the girls with calm and civilized uteruses. Birth control pills seemed to pacify her. For that I am very thankful.

At least yours is trying to beautify herself.

I am convinced small rodents (hamsters, as I picture them) are set loose in my abdomen and proceed to gnaw and rip my poor uterus to shreds. Gnaw, gnaw, gnaw. Rip, rip, rip.

They seem to be hibernating at the moment, as have just finished a feast last week.

I have nothing to say. I didn't looked like any of the guys were going to comment, so I thought I'd step up to the plate.

There. I'm done now.

I'm a little scared to comment. I don't think we guys have anything even remotely equivalent. Women are saints.

Very small, very numerous, very boisterous construction workers. They have a whole city block to tear down and rebuild. How does one set about designating a reproductive system as 'a protected area of architectural significance?' - short of getting pregnant, of course?
