First of all, if you haven't seen the movie, PRECIOUS, go see it right away. It is very intense but it was amazing. I cried, I screamed, I had flashbacks, my husband tried to rush the screen...amazing film!
Anyway, I spent most of my day running around getting last-minute stuff for my trip to Canada, seeing the movie, getting my watch fixed and picking out Xmas rings with my husband (they are so gorgeous! I can't wait to open them on Christmas!) before meeting my niece at a crazy theme restaurant for her birthday dinner that I forgot to eat.
Yeah I said it. I forgot to eat...just like that "special-kind-of-stupid" girl I read about in a joke email once.
So, by the time we hit the restaurant at 8, I was starving and they had no soup. (Did I mention it was a theme restaurant with an overpriced and very limited menu). I decided to eat food--real food so I ordered the mushiest thing on the menu--scallops and mashed potatoes.
It came with the salad bar so I ate two beets, cut small and chew, chew chewed. Then I had a couple of spoonfuls of spinach dip, 2 shrimp, and potato salad. I also ate 3 scallops and 1/4 cup of mashed potatoes with a couple bites of cooked asparagus. I feel comfortably full, but fine.
Tomorrow is my 2-wk post-op visit. I hope I didn't screw everything up but I was hungry enough to risk it.

I was just about to come ask how you were doing.. Glad things are going well, you should be ok, you did everything mushy. Let us know what the Doc says.. and funny, I saw Precious yesterday, it was good movie but over hyped in my opinion. Maybe because I had my own eff'd up childhood and know that as heartbreaking and sad as it is, it happens. I just had a huge debate about it with my friends last night too lol. I think it would have been a GREAT movie if it would have shown how she overcame all of that. That to me would have been inspiring and awesome, because that's the real story. Instead they leave it open to draw your own conclusions. Oh well just my humble opinion lol. Hope you're having a great day!Posted 12-16-2009 at 12:21 PM by ymjackson1

Doc said I was doing great! I had an eff-ed up childhood too and I guess I did see the movie as a triumph because she got her kids and learned to read. For her that was really extra special. But I can see where it can be read either way :) I am having a great day and hope you are too!Posted 12-16-2009 at 10:06 PM by Electrawoman
