As an unpublished note for logged in Trend Hunters, I just wanted to say that I'm back from a week in the hospital. Also I wanted to note that while I was away, Bianca did a fantastic job of keeping the site rocking and rolling.
New and improved, I've completed my pre-holiday surgical weight loss program - by removing my appendix. Lighter by 1 pound, I expect to be more nimble and even better at math.
Overall, it was the best appendectomy I've ever had. Also good news, the ultrasound revealed that I am not pregnant.
Thanks for all the warm wishes, especially to the friends who sent me champagne instead of flowers.
To an even more exciting 2008!
