For those of you who know me at this point, I have never posted any pictures of myself on the Board other than my avatar. However, yesterday I had my husband take some up-to-date pictures that I needed to have for an event coming up, and I have to admit, there does seem to be a difference! (I am still suffering from the "fat head syndrome" as I call it!) If interested, the links are below. The pre-ops were taken a week before surgery (9/12/07 -- surgery was 9/19/07), the current ones were taken yesterday (6/11/08), almost 9 months later. :) http://i295.photobucket.com/albums/mm124/vagirl00_01/Simpson 22.jpg http://i295.photobucket.com/albums/mm124/vagirl00_01/DSCF085 01.jpg http://i295.photobucket.com/albums/mm124/vagirl00_01/Simpson 12.jpg http://i295.photobucket.com/albums/mm124/vagirl00_01/DSCF084 91.jpg

The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart.

When you said that the lyrics "Getting your motor running...get out on the highway...looking for adventure..." HA HA HA. Oh boy where the mind goes when it's worn out and overheating. HA HA. At least it's only 83 in here today - that' better - which is flipping sad. I know what's going to happen though, once they get it fixed some moron is going to jack that thing down to negative 30 and then I'll be freezing.
