Surgery of any kind if NOT going on my list of favorite things. I can't believe that people have been back to work two days after having their gallbladders removed. I feel like such a wimp, but I can barely straighten up. Today I get to take a shower though, so maybe I'll feel better after that.
I've had so many wonderful friends wishing me well. One of them even brought food...which my family really appreciated. They better make it last a few more days cause I don't intend to be at the stove again till at least Monday.
Just posting a quick note to let everyone know...I made it through, I'm sore as hell and I'd like to say, "I'm not taking this laying down"...but the truth is...I AM!

POST SURGERY BUCKET LIST
Tomorrow is the BIG day. I go "under the knife" for the first time ever. In celebration of that occasion I decided it was high time I made a bucket list. I figure if I have a list of things to do then everything will have to go smoothly so I can accomplish my set purpose in the universe. Besides, I ain't getting any younger, although I have to say I don't feel as old as that face in the mirror looks.
I'm not sure what normal people (I know I don't belong to this crowd) put on their bucket lists. Probably things like traveling to exotic places, eating strange and weird foods, apologizing for wrongs they've committed or finding old family members or friends, giving back to the world somehow. Yeah, that's not for me.
Just a few items on my bucket list: (1)learn pole-dancing...this one's for my hubby really, although pole dancing is good exercise, (2)visit the sky diving simulator...this is as close as I will ever get to jumping out of a plane,(3) grow an herb garden and try to keep it alive for at least six months, (4)get at least one thing published...even if it's just a letter to the editor in the Nfreakin'O, (5)create a piece of art for our home...painting, sculpture, playdough animal...something artsy, fartsy I can point to and say, "I created that"(6)finally get all my pictures organized in albums...I may die before I finish this, (7)get one of those water massages they give at the mall and maybe even get my teeth whitened and eyebrows threaded at the same mall...the same day (8)climb a rock wall...this one is a lot like work, so I'm putting it on the bottom of my list.
I'm sure I'll be adding to my list as things occur to me...but for now...I need to take a nap, so I'll be ready to tackle these projects...post surgery.

STEP ASIDE BIG...COLOSSAL HAS ARRIVED
This blog is the product of a direct challenge from my husband. He saw a show the other night about squid...the gigantic versus the colossal squid to be exact. He's now somewhat obsessed with the word "colossal" and dared me to blog about his new favorite word. So here goes sweetie......
Have you noticed that our food...especially snack foods are getting smaller, while our mascara keeps getting bigger? It's all psychological bull crap, but the manufacturers for our cookies, crackers, etc. think if they make them smaller we will think if we are consuming less calories. Nahhhhh, we're just gonna eat twice as many of those little suckers! The manufacturers of mascara on the other hand want us to think huge and instead of having "gigantic" lashes (which paints kind of a gross picture I think) we now can have "colossal" lashes (thank you Maybelline).
The definition of gigantic is: very large; huge. The definition of colossal is: Extraordinarily great in size, extent or degree. Colossal even has a cooler sounding definition doesn't it.
Years ago we were happy with the word big...then large...huge...on to gigantic and now colossal! Let's all jump on board the colossal train. Use it in a sentence at least once today. It'll make you smile I guarantee it!
