Thoughts in the final countdown...

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone...

My surgery is on Tuesday and as I was driving around today in my Jeep

with the windows off in the beautiful Washington DC weather I was

thinking the following random thoughts and thought I would share it

with you all...

I want to wear a tank top.. never been able to because I was always

too self conscious about my arms.

I want to take less than 20 minutes to put lotion on my entire body.

I want to scrub my back in the shower.. actually be able to reach my

back.

When I can go to a new restaurant on a date and I have not scoped out

the seating arrangement before hand as I wonder if I can fit into the

seating there.

Looking forward to the first time that I fly and the flight attendant

is not walking down the isle holding the seat belt extension above

her head saying " Who asked for this belt extension again? " in an

obnoxiously loud voice.

Not having red itchy lines on under my breasts from my bra being too

tight and biting into my chest all day. Same with the red marks on

my shoulders.

When I can say " Girdle? I'm not wearing a girdle... "

When I can shop in the men's department cuz I like their T-Shirts and

Sweatshirts, not because I have no alternative.

When I can't rest my head on the fat hump on the back of my neck

anymore.

When I can send waist up or full body shots out to friends in email

rather than just head shots.

Having more than four clothing store options - Fashion Bug Plus, PS

Plus Sizes, The Answer and Lane (which I have not bought

anything from them in about 2 years as I can't fit into a 28 anymore).

Dancing.. just plain dancing...

Sleeping on my stomach.. sans body pillow

Not always coming in the back door of my apartment building because

then I won't worry about the three stairs that are in the lobby.

Having a lap for kitties to sit on...

Walking up or down stairs without wondering if my knee/ankle/legs are

gonna give out on me and not having to place all my weight on my

arm/hand on the railing or use the railing to literally pull me up

the stairs...

Room next to my hips in the movie theatre seats...

When folding my hands across my chest while sitting does not block my

view of things in front of me.

Crossing my legs.. ankle to knee or knee to knee..

Lingerie.. need I say more?

Short skirts, thigh high boots, wearing heels, bikini cut panties...

thong...

On that note...
