You know I love me a good segue..  By now you may have realized that I do enjoy recurring themes - and since we had a perfectly good Walt Disney kind of theme going yesterday, why not continue that theme into today, shall we??  101 Dalmations!  This movie was released in the theatres the year I was born..  yeah..  yeah..  there were talking pictures back then - and some of them were even in color too!  My Mom would take me and my friend Carol to the theatre on Saturday afternoons and this movie (along with Mary Poppins) was one of the first that I can remember seeing with her..  Great memories!

One particular memory of this wonderful movie seems to be particularly haunting to me these days..  The puppies were HUNGRY!!  Those poor, miserable, little whelps were on a pre-surgical liquid diet!!  Uhm..  I guess that really wasn't the plot of the movie, but each moment that passes without food is literally turning me into our beloved and tortuously crazed villainess, Cruella De Vil!  No one is safe around here!  Would you believe that the Hubs - who absolutely abhors doing anything that requires the use of tools - hmmmm... another post idea - actually spent most of the evening outside doing things around the house that needed to be done??  He's avoiding me like the plague!  "I noticed that the screws on the gutter above the balcony needed to be tightened down..."  They've been loose and dangling since we bought the house 15 years ago...  Seven more days, Dear...  seven more days...  I haven't told him about the joys of bandster hell yet..  we'll just keep that little ditty between us friends for now...

Today was my surgical and anesthesiology visit, and the appointments went quite well..  Just as was predicted, I did get my workout in today as the over energetic two year old who accompanied me tore through the halls to visit each and every poor unsuspecting employee who had his or her door opened.  In between hall races, I managed to watch the thirty minute video that was required before signing all the consent forms - while at the same time reading Dr. Seuss' "Hop on Pop" and "One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish" to said GrandAngel...

It's all kind of fuzzy and I am soooo confused as to whether the Bariatric Doc is going to Box a Gox or Band a Zans...

Until Next Time!
