...so yesterday I had to go see the gyno for women things. I've known this Dr for a long time so i'm totally comfortable going there and saying what I need to say. When I had my bloodclots, he was my Dr so I would never go to anyone else as I feel like he helped save my life. ANYWAYS...I get there and don't you suppose he has a Student Dr there with him. This student was super good looking! He was somewhere around my age, tall, buff, smart looking glasses on, dark hair all messed up perfectly with gel...super attractive! So, now i'm nervous and embarassed, but I thought well it's no big deal, talk about your woman things and get out. Well, my Dr decided that today was the day for a Pap Test. Lovely...really freakin lovely.
We get in the exam room and I have my Dr at the "area", the Nurse at one side and Dr. Hottie on my other side. I look up at Dr. Hottie and he looks at me...then looks down....oh god...he's looking at my whoo whoo...OH MY GOD...AWKWARD!! I know it shouldn't be awkward and it was probably awkward for him too but now I have three people looking at IT and one of them is super ubber good looking. I don't know...it makes a difference. Now, my hubby claims he would want a good looking nurse if he was in a similar scenario...apparently he's more proud than I am of my body. I think all Dr's should be older and not good looking. It would make life a heck of a lot easier.
So now that part is done and I have to go back in his office to discuss some other things. So here I am, starring at Dr. Hottie and his smile while we discuss my you know what. Lovely...freakin lovely. So my Dr starts filling out some papers and there's dead air. I get nervous and start talking to Dr. Hottie, afterall, what the hell am I supposed to do? He just saw my whoo whoo...gotta say something! First thing I say is "Sooo...this is a fun day, eh?!" Oh God, that was a dumb start to a conversation....I WANT TO AVOID TALKING ABOUT WHOO WHOO'S AND I JUST GOT HIM THINKING ABOUT THEM AGAIN!!! He talked for a bit and then I started bragging up the town of Ydot and get him laughing and smiling. It was less awkward then. By the time I got out of there we were almost BFF's! He even shook my hand on the way out.
When I get out in the waiting room, it's full of other women waiting for their turn. One lady looks at me and asks who that other guy is in the office. I tell her and I see all of their faces drop.....hahahaha...I guess I wasn't the only one feeling this way!

some more etiquette?...
...so I've been asked a bunch what I think about Weddings, Showers for whatever, birthdays, etc.
Here's what I think....and really, what do I know?
Baby Showers: I think that if someone is having their first baby shower then you spend between $30-$50 depending on how close you are. For a second shower or third shower you should spend much less...so from $15 to $25. I think it's nice to buy a new mom a little gift when she's in the hospital but that should only be about $10-$15. I wouldn't think you'd need to go overboard, especially if you went to the baby shower.
Weddings: I think if you're invited to the entire wedding you must buy a gift. I would spend between $35 and $60 depending on how close I am. If I've been invited to a Wedding Shower prior to the Wedding then I'd use my price range and break it up between the two. If you are simply invited to the wedding dance I wouldn't buy a gift. This, to me, is the Happy Couple's way of inviting those they simply couldn't invite to the whole thing so you going doesn't mean you owe them anything. They just wanted you to come and have fun with them.
If you spent a lot of money to go to the wedding, i.e.: Down South, out of province, at a resort, etc... I think you're wedding gift should be cheaper than had you not done that. Spending $2000 to go to a wedding then coming back and spending another $50 + on a gift isn't necessary in my opinion. It was nice that you took lots of time and expense to go with the Happy Couple...you don't have to go broke by doing so.
Birthdays: These are really for children. Buy for them....as for adults, no gifts are necessary. I intend on having my own Birthday Party this year as I'm turning the big 30. I don't want gifts...I just want people to come to my party and have a good time with me! I assume most people feel the same way. I also don't need cards...a phone call, facebook message, email, text, etc is sufficient. I just like knowing people think about me on my special day.
Stagette/Stag Parties: If you chose to go on one of these expect to spend money. If you do not want to spend money then don't go. There is often gas, hotel, food, activities and drinking costs associated with these so decide wisely. It's not a time to skimp..,pay your share IMMEDIATELY. You know ahead of time that you will be going so if you owe money to someone then pay them before the activities are done (before you drive home). If you do not have cash, most people accept cheques so I vote you do that. Cheques are good cause you can give the exact amount you owe...no change necessary. Waiting to pay at a later date frustrates everyone and if you can't afford to go then don't. No one will be mad and frankly, you don't have to give a reason as to why you won't be attending. Also, this event is for the Bride and Groom so they should get a money break. Most of the time the Bridal Party pays a bit more than the guests. Don't be afraid to ask $5 from everyone attending to help with costs...no one will argue....but make sure that the entire Bridal Party spends the same amount. I wouldn't say it's fair for some to spend more than others. Nowadays people do this anyways, but it's still something worth mentioning.
Housewarmings: I usually spend $25-$50 depending on how close I am. If this event occurs near their Wedding, I would vote that a Wedding Shower is not necessary....seems to me a Housewarming and a Wedding Shower would be the same thing. Call it one event and move on.
So these are just my thoughts....what are yours?
