It's been a while since we've talked hasn't it, friends and interwebs strangers? I thought I'd do an all-purpose update now that I'm back from ScrapFest and decently recovered from that and surgery. Here goes.
- Gallbladder surgery isn't fun. Apparently people think "laproscopic" means "magically done by a swami" because I've had several peeps say things like "well, at least you didn't have to get cut." So, I guess I'm imagining the four incisions. Could be — I was on some pretty good drugs.
- my surgeon told me during my post-op visit that my gallbladder was highly inflamed. Yeah, I could have told him that.
- I ate a lot of soup during recovery.
- I watched a lot of Food Network during recovery and have decided I need to become friends with Ina Garten, the Barefoot Contessa. We could cook together at her Connecticut house and and eat things with real butter and cream and drink fun cocktails. I was thinking this before Ina was mentioned on 30 Rock the other night. I love that show, but it's weird that they are somehow accessing my thoughts.
- I watched a ton of movies during recovery. I cannot name them, I was on Percocet. I do remember watching Black Dynamite though, and I highly recommend it even if you are fresh out of pain killers.
- I do not recommend working on pain killers. I could not be a drug addict. While on drugs, I made some ScrapFest! forms and small signs for our raffle table. They were wrong and people told me all weekend. Never said I was perfect or for that matter, even competent.
- At the event, my friend Melanie posted on my Facebook page that someone saw my profile pic on her laptop and said "who is that pretty girl?" Melanie informed her that it was me. Apparently I do not look like myself live and in person.
- I ate half a brownie at ScrapFest! before Megan knocked over my tea, dousing the brownie. I was mad.
- A fly landed in my coffee this morning. That really throws a kink in my breakfast of champions — coffee and the 5 different medications I take every morning.
- The hubs painted the kitchen and living room while I was sick. The color I picked is called Latte. This may or may not be a coincidence.
- My new favorite stupid television show is Hillbilly Handfishin'. It is a real show. I am not making it up. It ranks up there with Billy the Exterminator, but is no Pawn Stars.
- Would someone remind me to make an appointment at my hair salon?
- I have decided upon my new alias. I'm not telling you what it is, that's why it's an alias.
- I'm visiting the hometown for a few days next month. If you've been reading the blog for a while, you know how these visits usually go, so put me on the prayer chain.
- Facebook's suggestions get on my nerves.
- My scale is broken. I plan on going to Target and testing out the scales — whichever one I weigh less on is the one I will buy.
- I see nothing wrong with that plan.
- A few days ago I heard there is a new movie coming out called It's Kind of a Funny Story. For what it's worth, this is what the title of my life story was going to be. For real.
That's all for now. More to follow.
