Me and ER, again!

Another cliff note post.

• In ER Sunday night with these exact same symptoms.
• Told them I was NOT having a heart attach so don't even go there.
• Diagnosed myself as having gallstones and did tell them that.
• (I know doctors hate that)
• Had gall bladder taken out Tuesday 4 AM
• Yes, I typed that right,4 AM
• Had an awesome surgeon that loved having the OR to himself in the wee hours.
• I just got home today.

I though gallstones was an "old person's" disease. I'm finding out it's not.
I am going to make sure I don't get a desire to eat dinners at 4:30 consisting of creamed corn, mashed potatoes and Salisbury steak though.

I left my heallllll-th ....

... in San Francisco. (sing it)

Is this a cold? Allergies? BlogHer withdrawal?

I have all the nasty ass symptoms. Sneezing, coughing, watery eyes, congestion, snotty nose and it's 82 degrees out!

Save this type of illness for winter please.

At least then I could blame it on cold damp weather.

That took balls ...

... or was it guts?

What's the difference?

"That took Guts"
vs
"That took Balls"

Guts:

Arriving home late after a night out with the guys, being met by your wife with a broom and having the guts to ask, "Are you still cleaning or are you flying somewhere?"

Balls:

Coming home late after a night out with the guys, smelling of perfume, beer, and with lipstick on your collar, slapping your wife on the azz and having the balls to say "You're next."

Either way dude, you're spent!

BlogHer SF 2008,the Cliff Notes

Whew, what a trip. BlogHer can't really be described, you just have to experience it.

I met so many wonderful women ...and men bloggers too. Yes, I went to the BlogHim session hosted by Karl. Average Jane and I decided to represent.

I was looking forward to meeting some of the wonderful women from the blogs I faithfully read Amie, Steph, Kristin, Susan, etc., etc.,etc. and was glad to have met many many more. I can't even begin. I have a huge stack of cards to many blogs that I plan on checking out.

Personally? Every day was full, meeting new people. Every night was a party, seriously!

I was at Guy Kawasaki's wonderful house party. And no, I'm not sure how I ended up on the shuttle to his house. Someone came up to me and said I was going, and it was going to be fun. And it was. What a nice guy person that Guy is.

I met Jenny and Jennie and oh boy! Our night out at the Starlight Room, on the 21st floor was hot and fun. Jenny, you could have been a Solid Gold Dancer! Amazing, that girl never stops!

The last night "Dooce" was the keynote speaker. True to her dog Chuck's talent, Heather agreed to pose for a photo balancing something on her head. (my sunglasses) Thanks again Heather for helping me win a bet. Yes, she truly is a soft spoken, nice person. Jon is kinda hot too!

I got home Monday and later that evening, with dark circles and fried brains, I met Ree and Sunshine for dinner. Two perfect women to close out my first BlogHer experience with.


Thanks again to the wonderful guest posters that took my place with their greatest hits while I was gone:

Ree from My Life As a Hotfessional
Delmer from What's a Delmer Look Like
Joan from Southern Suburbia
Michael from Captain Obvious

Delmer? I miss all the fun we had in Pete's Court! How did we end up there anyway?
