Looks like its funny as hell and I look forward to seeing it. It got me to thinking. If that guy can have a Bucket List, I want a Fucket List. The guys in the movie have a list of things they are going to do before they die.

So I will repost here and go through and try to explain a few things as needed.... New Years Resolutions... can't say that I have ever really been serious about making them aside from the "stop chewing my fingernails" one that I think I made every year since I was about 5 years old.

Mostly very positive - wonderful. My oldest sibling asked me why I have to write such personal things in a public blog. WOW he better never come here and read it all or he will probably fall over dead from shock! HA! I guess we're just very different. He is old for one thing (HA!)!

I AM SO SO SO SAD. The surgeon's nurse called and said that the bariatric coordinator had her CANCEL the surgery for May 10th because she (BC) doesn't think we will hear back from my ins for 3 weeks or so. SO I called my ins co and they said they have received NOTHING from them!! How can they respond to NOTHING? I am so irritated. So I called back the nurse and she said that thehttp://www.heartl.com/2007/04/dag-nabbit.html~ Tarra ~tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13799695.post-3862580616171235908Thu, 26 Apr 2007 05:31:00 +00002007-04-26T00:36:40.613-05:00So I sent yesterday's blog out to my entire friends and family who probably don't read my blog. I made myself vulnerable, feeling a need to be totally honest and not have secrets. I am not sure what makes me more nervous, the fact that everyone knows or the fact that everyone knows and NO ONE has responded.

Because, for one thing, what if, say, one of my old boyfriends from high school reads it and finds out that, well, finds out what I am about to write? That would just be horrifying.

It makes me sleep about as good as I did before I ever took it but then without it now I don't sleep AT ALL, so, taking it for now is the best option for me.
