The countdown continues. 17 days til surgery! 4 days til PETSCAN! A friend sent me some words of wisdom and inspiration yesterday. She herself has been along this road and came out victorious. She said to me "Going on a Lion Hunt.....Can't go around it....gotta go thru it! Remember there is another side to all of this!" Thankyou Deb....I will hang on to that thought!

Did a little retail therapy today. Started out shopping for shower gifts for my daughter-in-law....and although I did find things for her, I also ended up shopping for myself. My friend Marcia suggested that special shampoo might help with the shedding problem so I decided what the heck....might as well give it a try! Went to Aveda and the girl sold me a "new product. So I am going to discover the power of Densiplex! I will be tapping the wisdom of Ayurveda-the ancient healing art of India. The product is an "invigorating blend of Ayurvedic herbs including turmeric and ginseng that helps power Invati (whatever the heck that is!) I think I may have been duped big time but oh well....isn't the first time and definitely won't be the last!!!

Once I had my hair product in hand I headed into Banana Republic. There I tried on a sweater. I have been steering clear of clothes shopping as it is proving to be quite depressing at the moment however, I think I can confirm Kelli's theory that Banana Republic has mirrors in the dressing room that make you look taller and thinner! I have suspected this for sometime now but today am absolutely convinced of it!!! I haven't yet tried the sweater on at home in front of my brutally honest mirror but I am sure I will have irrevocable proof once I do! That should be illegal!!! Oh well I do have the receipt so can always return it! Do you think they will call security if I accuse them of this when I do the return???? Stay tuned!
