Baring My Gut… Literally
Funny how things can change in the blink of an eye, isn’t it?
Here I was, thinking I’d have a nice little break, catch up on blog reading & commenting, cooking, and so on. As a matter of fact, I thought I’d be spending Saturday heading to my local farmer’s market with a friend, and then getting a blissful acupuncture treatment.
Instead, I’m actually going in for emergency surgery (1 pm ET)… which I found out yesterday. So there goes my weekend.
What’s the surgery for? I’ll tell you, but before you read any further, please know that if you’re uncomfortable reading about “female issues,” you should stop right now.

Those of you who were kind enough to comment and cheer me on (thank you!) wanted an update.
First, the bare numbers. In one month, I have: Continue reading »
