And the winner is.....

Penny.  If you are completely clueless and wonder who Penny is, wonder no more.  She is the fake boob I was gifted with 10 days ago.  She is removable (she rests in strategically placed pocket) and when placed on Rosie’s head looks like a helmet and could be mistaken for a jellyfish.   So far I have not misplaced (lost) her, but I am sure I will at some point.  I did misplace (lose) Scarlett a few times (the favored wig for those not up to speed) but she usually showed up right before I was doomed to put on Lizzie (the one which was just a normal Liza haircut wig—the least favorite).  She even came with her very own carrying case.  And before anyone asks, I have no clue, I just took the bag which was given to me and the case was in there. 

Anyway, Penny was named by Amy—who wisely pointed out I could say “penny for your thoughts”- which is why Heather is now chomping at the bit to go to a bar so I can whip it out and say it to whomever is lucky enough to be sitting next to me.  While it does have a certain appeal to it, I would have to be plastered to do it and I am well past that stage in life. However,  I have been pondering the possibilities Penny has presented and here are the winners. Please feel free to pass along any I may have missed:

·        A penny saved is a penny earned

·        In for a penny, in for a pound (however, she is 1.3 pounds—yes I have checked as she felt like 3 pounds and if she had been I would be whipping her out when it came time to get on the scales at the good Drs. Which I still might do depending upon the nurse.  If it is Ashley—Penny will be whipped)

·        A bad penny always comes back ( good to know if she gets lost)

·        Penny pincher (not a nice thing to do…)

·        Every time it rains, it rains pennies from heaven ( oh dear lord I hope not)

·        Here is my one cents worth (get it?!)

·        Pennies do not come from Heaven. They have to be earned here on earth (I have so earned this one)

Penny can certainly be a Pia at times. Trying to shove her in that little hole in the new bras I have been gifted is an experience.  Let me rephrase that—they were not gifted to me.  I hit my deductible- imagine that—so they were free, as was Penny.  My insurance generously covers four bras a year and one boob every two (I have added that to my list of things I never thought I would need to know in my life time).   On the positive side, as we all know there is always a positive side, all the shirts I bought while Penniless look so much better with Penny in them!
