Connie,

I'm so glad I didn't upset you! After reading the objections from others, I was

worried I came off the wrong way... today hasn't been my greatest in the world

of communications - I think this morning I may have inadvertently publicly

challenged my parasitology professor when I was just trying to explain my point

of view with no disrespect intended... I was telling my best friend about my

communication blunders, and she informed me that I was a cross between and

Lynnette - scattered, accident prone and an open invitation to drama and

distaster, while at the same time a bit outspoken about causes, beliefs,

loyalties and opinions at the expense of diplomacy. If any of you are as

addicted to Desperate Housewives as we are, you understand! LOL

I'm sure everything will work itself out, and you are lucky to get going with

your surgery! I've had braces on for a month, and I've lost too much weight

already and I'm worried about what is yet to come with my surgery. I went to a

formal 2 weeks ago for my undergrad friends' fraternity (my 10th formal!), and

the dress I bought for it in September was too big! I was devastated, but more

embarrassed by the fact that everyone kept asking me if I was ok. They were

with me 9 years ago when I got sick in school and had to pull out on medical

advice, and they said I am smaller now than I was then. It's funny how we don't

notice these things ourselves. I wanted to take a picture of myself with a

bright shiny smile last night, and when I reviewed the picture I seriously

didn't recognize the person in the photo... almost looked like a cancer patient.

I'm actually getting a little scared. Of the three New Year's Resolutions I

made this year, one was to run a 5K... I never ran

before... so I am registered to run in the G. Komen Race for the Cure in

2 weeks, and I have barely enough energy to last half that distance. Before

braces, I was hitting 3.5 miles consistently and at a good pace.

Someone mentioned having to learn how to eat again with these things... boy, you

aren't kidding there! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you that things work out

the way you want them to... just think - you're almost there!

Ok, done babbling now. Sorry again if I offended anyone - that's not ever my

intentions at all!

Kate
