Some gastro website told me not to lift over 5 lbs for the next week.

Huh. Hubby's never been told to limit activity for a colonoscopy. Though full sympathies on the prep work, love.

So slow here today that I have managed to read 3 weeks of COMM. Now only 1233 posts to read. It's a no skip zone for me so I'm always far behind. I've just gone from the last week of October '04 through November 17th. There was little COMM worthy after the election. It appears the board was in a melancholy state of shock.

With the board so slow I may get through the rest of 2004.

ION, DH set up a new home computer network arrangement. So now I am transferring all my ahemed television shows off of my laptop and on to the new home machine to clear up a few zillion bites. It's a very slow process, but now I'll be able to conveniently watch the shows on the big screen and good sound without having to burn to VCD. Yay!

-scopy and house-ma, Deena. And what connie said - the folks I've known who've had them were told that they'd probably want to take it easy for a day, but weren't given a weight limit. The prep is...well. Finite.

You guys are awesome. I should have asked here first. I don't know why I didn't think of it.

I hope the procedure goes well, Deena. And that the house is waiting patiently for you when you're done.

My sister has them regularly and it doesn't seem to slow her down at all. (she has polyps removed every 6 months)

The house will wait for such a worthy occupant.

I'm buff diving while waiting for leftovers to heat up, and I just re-read billytea's Testicle Story. My cheeks have cramped from laughing.

'Scopy-ma and house-ma in abundance to you, Deena. Grrr on the Miracleborns' stoopid ring-losing-water-shutting-off-not-even-ring-FINDING landladyzilla. And Cindy's big long post made me all sniffly.

We had a lovely, quiet Thanksgiving. As a special treat on top of the nice mellow day and vegetarian gravy and Best Stuffing/Dressing Ever, Emmett's mom had saved up a whole month of trashy celebrity magazines for me. Such a nummy treat. Also imparted to me the invaluable information that the super-cute wriggly puppy Jake Gyllenhall just got (someone, possibly ita, posted a link to an absurdly adorable picture of Jake and the puppy in Natter a few days ago) is a PUGGLE. The Zmayhem puggle-oost now officially knows no bounds(aside from the unfortunate $575 a puppy bound).

And now it's all gray and rainy, but there is the possibility of lunch with Deb and juliana, and probably Emmett-related indoor outings later in the day.

I'm vibing hard for sj, trapped in Black Friday retail hell.

And here I thought a puggle was a baby echidna.

I'm at my Mom's and have cable and am watching The American Muscle Car and today is Corvettes and Cass doesn't. like. stingrays. but I love her nonetheless.

Oh! And I'm eating a turkey sammich on REALLY good rye bread. That's one of my favorite family traditions, buying the killer bread for the next day. I pitty people without bakery access on this day above all others.

I think I'll go to Costco, see Harry Potter, and then clean some stuff, then come home and have ANOTHER Thanksgiving dinner that can't beat.
