yeah, well, aside from the mountains of real laundry that need to be done and put away and folded and ironed (eek!!), i thought i'd make a list of the other things i'd like the surgeon to do while he's in there removing the cursed gall bladder:

1. cut out the ingrown nail on the right foot, inside of the big toe.
2. fix the bunion on the right foot.
3. shave a few pounds off the flabby tummy.
4. boob reduction - i'd like a nice perky "B" please.
5. might as well go ahead and suck out that extra chin i'm getting too.

i thought about asking for a little shot of something in that "worry line" i have whenever my brow furrows, but i think i've earned that, so i'll keep it. it serves as a warning to others as well, so i guess i'm really keeping it for them.

the absotively posilutely best thing about this surgery: a short time after it's done, i'll be able to once again snuggle up to my beloved coffee on these cold winter mornings. it's been almost 6 weeks since i've had a cup. yes, it will be nice to not be nauseous all the time, to be able to leave the house without having to scope out all the nearby bathrooms, and to be able to sleep without being awakened by weird rumblings and pain in my tummy, but i think the very best part is the coffee.

see, there's an espresso lining in every cream clouded cup!!!
