MacGyver Morrone and the little black dress
It was short. It was low cut. It was ever-so slightly slinky. It was the opening gala for the Newport Film Festival and the dress code was "a little bit dressy." Seriously, when can you go wrong with a little black dress? It always looks classy and simple and suitable for almost every occasion. I had a beautiful one from Ann Taylor in the closet. Just grab a pair of black heels, some sparkly (fake) jewelry, and slip into that dress. No problem...until I went to slip into my Something Most Comfortable: namely, my insulin pump that I wear to manage my type one diabetes.

We are family: Know your medical history
It's amazing what a little conversation can do. One day a few years ago I learned that I wasn't the only person in the family to have fibrocystic breasts. "Wouldn't that have been a nice thing to tell me a few years ago?"I asked my mom. This was after I had undergone a panic-attack inducing ultrasound after finding a large, rope-like lumpy area in my left breast -- only to have the test turn up nothing.
