My cousin and I had a chat yesterday. (She was my matron of honor on our wedding.) At first, we talked about shopping, well, quite expectedly. She said she can send my loots sometime in December when my aunt comes home. Then we started talking about mommy stuff. She, being a mother of two, knows a lot about these things. I consulted her about good schools around our area, pediatric dentists and the anti-cervical cancer shot. We agreed we’ll get our shots together sometime in January next year when she gets back from California.

I told her I had my gall bladder removed this year. She asked me if I had a bikini cut. She was quite shocked to know that it was an ugly cut across my upper abdomen. Then she asked (of all other things), “So you can no longer wear two piece sexy swimwear?!” Hahaha. Well, I said “yes, unfortunately, unless I get a tattoo over the ugly scar.”

It was nice chatting with her. It felt like I have an older sister.

Our company gave away laptop bags again. You can choose between an Oakley look-alike and a Samsonite look-alike. I didn’t get one because it was too bulky for me. I am a petite woman, I’d look like I’ll be on camping carrying it. But hubby did, so I am now using his authentic Samsonite laptop bag again. It is much more comfortable on the shoulders. (The laptop tote bag I recently bought was straining my shoulders.) He said, “my lost, your gain”. Since he gained a new laptop bag, I corrected him, “your gain, my gain.”
